The manipulation is affecting others as well. You want to see how well it works, look how pro Russia candidate in Romania who no one knew won first round, and might win the next one.

Fair point, but everyone else is for profit, it is their fight for domination, I don't think we are gaining much one way or the other.

That's because he wants to control this market and his xAI is behind.

LLM should be FOSS.

This quote needs a context. The same issue was mentioned in "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons From the 20th Century" by Prof. Snyder. It is a very appropriate read for today's times, and I think everyone should read it. It also is a relatively short book.

The tyrannts were able to change government and consolidate power, because people were apathetic and just accepted it (for example "this doesn't affect me").

Remember that Germany was a democracy when it turned into Nazism. Same thing can happen in US if we let it.

I see this blame of various groups, of Harris of Democrats often one contradicting the other, but almost no one is acknowledging that we are in the middle of information warfare. We saw is effects in invasion of crimes in 2014, in brexit in 2016, trump election of the same year, across elections in Europe and still very little is done about it.

When some people were asked about why they voted for trump their answers were bizarre, out of touch with reality.

Today majority of people gets the news from social media which unlike traditional MSM is much more prone to be manipulated by foreign powers. Russia especially matters it, add their active measures developed during cold war work really well with current Internet.

Seriously though, he doesn't look well. I was suspecting Vance will try to replace him, but that might even happen before inauguration.

Yes, but you should wait until you can hammer a nail with it.

I doubt people who are illegally would have a good credit line, and would imagine people who would hire them would not vote for this, although a lot of people are dumb. Saw an interview with a person who was here illegally and supported trump, he did not vote as despite the GQP rhethoric they can't vote, but there are also Spanish people that can vote, have families that would be affected and still voted for him.

What they are promising cannot be done without skipping courts. Without courts even people that are here completely legally might end up being deported.

On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons From the 20th Century by Prof. Snyder is a book that everyone should read these days.

He made everyone think he did, what he cares about were the government subsidies.

BTW: I still see bots on various social networks promote him as some kind of genius, a lot of us got fooled.
