NYC mayoral race. Democrat -Socialist Mamdani leads Cuomo/Adams/Sliwa by a lot. Adams just dropped out. He was polling 9%. If by some chance Sliwa drops out it is possible Cuomo picks up enough Adams/Sliwa voters to win.

Let’s say you are multi billion dollar corporations located in NYC that considers Mamdani an existential threat to your company. Is it legal to offer Sliwa a do little job for a paltry $5 million a year? Politicians/ex politicians get these gigs all the time. Heck, the mayor of Buffalo quit to take a Batavia Casino job mid term!


If NYC doesn't like the results, they'll vote for someone else next time.

Although I'm starting to believe, instead of just waiting for politicians get voted out, if 60% of the voting constituents are unhappy enough, they can require the politician to be locked up in pillory in the public square for a couple hours. With some rotten tomatoes provided.

It's legal, but wasn't it easier to do like when Hillary was running for Senator and just ask them, "How's the family doing?"

Mamdani will probably take it. And he will along with AOC and the squad lead a radical portion of the Democrat Party to challenge the old guard wing. Especially if the GOP keeps the House and Senate in the midterms this will lead to open Democrat civil war for 2028. For those of us who did not get to see 1968 we will see it's grandson, 2028.

I predict more general violence the rest of the 2020s, mostly from the left. A violent Democrat Convention will doom whomever the Democrats put up.

OpenAI Releases List of Work Tasks It Says ChatGPT Can Already Replace

In “early results,” GDPval found that “today’s best frontier models are already approaching the quality of work produced by industry experts” — a clear shot across the bow at critics who say the tech isn’t up to the demands of the workplace.

The 44 occupations where “AI could have the highest impact on real-world productivity” included a litany of professions including real estate sales agents, social workers, industrial engineers, software developers, lawyers, registered nurses, customer service representatives, pharmacists, private detectives, and financial advisors


Paper is here if you feel like reading it.

BTW, I think it was SOOPOO suggesting that even if a self-driving car is statistically safer than a human driving, it's definitely not entirely guaranteed people would give up their control of the wheel. Though I guess if Robo taxis are already operating, that's some opposing actual real-world results. But perhaps that is done under limited conditions.

Would you fall asleep easily in your car at night on a highway at 75mph and not have any worries? Maybe, maybe not.

Have a Big Mac on me:

Poor people are human too.


If you're illegal, let me pay for your healthcare also.

Criminals need healthcare also.








Is it criminal to knowingly support a criminal before they're arrested?

What is the term in English for knowingly supporting criminals before they're arrested?


Aiding and abetting:



---------------

The term in English law for knowingly supporting criminals before they are arrested is "aiding and abetting" a crime.

This refers to actively promoting or assisting the commission of a crime, even if the person does not personally commit the criminal acts themselves.

In the context of English law, this is considered an inchoate offence under the Serious Crime Act 2007, where the actus reus involves carrying out an act capable of encouraging or assisting the commission of another offence.

The person must have the intent or belief that their actions will assist in the crime being committed.

Are Harris and Biden negligent for folks getting murdered in cold-blood by illegals?

Are Democrats liable [besides spiritually]?

Shut it down, shutter it, and reboot; the political system we have now ain't functioning.

Netflix cancels upon recent grooming releases increasing fast:


It seems to be a natural sexual perversion progression.

First adults, then children.



At this stage, most of us likely expected it.

The hints were the pervs entering public grade schools with a goal of castration.



I knew we were already in trouble when the head perv signed same-sex marriage laws.

It seems like a progressive sickness where Dem politicians are now elected based if they're a perv because they protect pervs.



Like even yet another perv Pres gets elected, one that smells underage girls in front of cameras.

Surely, Harris wasn't a perv too, but she didn't get enough votes.

When you elect liberals to office, this is what you get way too much of the time
