That is absolutely true, but the substack post as it stands provides no proof of the events it describes. Like I said, I’m not claiming that interference didn’t happen, I’m not even claiming it didn’t happen almost exactly the way the post describes, but none of it is verifiable through the provided “source”, which is just a public GitHub repo.

This isn’t actual proof of anything though. This is a publicity stunt by someone trying to promote this Eliza project, which has nothing to do with X because actual X code used for the described nefarious purposes wouldn’t be on a public GitHub repository. More importantly, someone who “can’t sleep at night” due to their involvement in election interference wouldn’t link to the tool they used to do it and instructions on how to use it.

Having a .json “character file” for a Trump chatbot filled with Trump rhetoric is not proof of anything the writer is claiming. Anyone could do that, including LLMs.

I’m not saying similar technologies/tactics weren’t actually used over the last few years, in fact, I strongly believe they were. All I’m saying is that this article is nothing but bait. Fact-checking is more important than ever now.

I know this is a joke, but as someone fluent in two languages, trust me when I tell you that translating anything Trump says effectively is borderline impossible, and that’s a huge problem. It plays in his favor because people in non-english speaking parts of the world don’t get to fully see how ridiculously incoherent he actually is; they only get the sanitized version of his ramblings.

Personally, it’s been REALLY hard these past few years hearing and seeing the shit coming out of his mouth in its original language and at the same time not being able to at least share my worries with other people in my country without sounding crazy. It’s very easy to underestimate the gravity of the situation from the other side of the world if you can’t grasp how low the standards have sunk and still believe DT is just an average Republican president, and not living proof that the actual meaning of words has no value anymore.

Then simple question, why not use First Gentleman? Kamala Harris’ husband was Second Gentleman and would have been first if she had won.

Going by your logic, that would be offensive to me, as a gay man.

But this kind of hypersensitivity, especially when applied regardless of context or intent, is one of the main drivers of the reactionary sentiment that is allowing the right to win elections all over the world. It’s one of the reasons why the “free speech” argument has worked so well in their favor.

Currently, the only ones benefitting from this “moral high-ground” stance are fragile little baby egos like Musk and Trump who can rest assured knowing their opposition would never stoop as low as them, while they get to freely spew as much intentionally evil shit as they want.

A society where no one is ever offended by anyone is a utopia. It’s as desirable as it is unattainable. I think the best thing we can do at the moment is focus on fighting back, not fighting against each other.

It’s just a feeling, it’s just a feeling…”

I’m not sure what you mean. Flexible OLED displays have been around for a while and foldable devices are just an example of the technology in use, but we’ve had them in consumer products way before that (phones with curved edge displays, for example). The potential for flexibility has always been intrinsic to OLED displays because they don’t need a backlight. The reason our phones don’t bend and flex like the “device” in the video isn’t because of the display, but because the battery, processors, ram, speakers, ports and all other components are not flexible and won’t be for a while. The device in the video does not include those, there is a ribbon cable coming out of the bottom connecting the two screens to the actual hardware.

I’ve had this issue with Samsung phones and tablets I owned in the past. Working as an app developer I still see this kind of problems on heavily oem-customized versions of Android.

Personally I “solved” this by switching to Pixel phones which in my experience don’t slow down even after 3-4 years of usage and updates. I believe this is true in general for phones that stay as close to AOSP/stock Android as possible.
