My money would be on the reverse.
My suspicion is that most users here don't know how to spot a drug house or potential ambush where as 98% of regular folk (or at least those that have had some experience with the seedier elements of society) do, and thats why this result is being treated as novel.

I dont really follow tennis, but i do have a thing for sports analysis so if you did feel like doing a deep dive id be interested in reading it.

Wasn't this also the premise of the original C&C Red Alert?
Congrats Einstein, you erased the national socialists from history and created uber-socialists in thier stead.
No you don't, but you gotta get those buzzwords in if you want to get the clicks.
Saying that you used "machine learning" is so much cooler and "truthy" than making a list of everyone under 30 who's been riding with the Hell's Angels or hanging out with Crips.
If it happens this way it would essentially make the Dems a semiparliamentary party,
They already sort of are. In contrast to the Republican Party where the regional and state committees are largely seperate and operate independently of the national party, the Democratic Party's structure is much more "top-down" with the national chair holding power of the purse and an outsize influence over both the convention and the primary process. If you dont believe me, just ask a "Bernie-Bro" how they feel about superdelegates some time.

This feels like one of those "Academic spends countless dollars manhours and nuerons figuring out what any rando with a room-temperature IQ could have told you for free" situations.
Normal people dont need machine learning to tell them which house in their nieghborhood is "the drug house", or that that the Williams' ner-do-well son is likely to come to a bad end based on the company he's been keeping.

Careful now, you are treading on dangerous ground.
I wish we could have new terminology
Ditto, relating to the latter part of your post about making "a automoton into a worker" i think there is is a serious conversation to be had about the differences between "symbol manipulation" and "intelligence" that is not being had because it would be inconvenient to a lot of vested interests.

Are you suggesting that John Wilkes Booth was a left-winger?
I'm flat out saying that he was a Democrat and merely suggesting that he was a left-winger.

Why claim something trivially disproved by common experience?
Personally I'm with @SubstantialFrivolity on this one.
Generating a thousand lines of code in 5 minutes doesn't mean a thing if it's going to take a week or more to validate it.
Thank you for posting this.
I'd been considering writing something about this in response to @DaseindustriesLtd's top level post but was struggling to pick a jumping-off point.
While do feel that AI is worth being excited (or worried!) about, it seems obvious to me that the bulk of the discourse is being driven by hobbyists and grifters. Perhaps ironically, I trust DARPA, Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, and the Chinese Military Industrial Complex, more than I do MIRI, OpenAI, DeepSeek Et Al in large part because I know that in contrast to the latter, the former actually have specific use-cases and requirements mind beyond driving social media engagement and funneling venture capital dollars into their coffers.
Having spent some time "in the trenches" as it were, I do not find arguments about this benchmark vs that benchmark particularly convincing. Benchmarks are not deliverables, and once you've done a Markov Chain by hand or written a ML algorithm from scratch it's hard not to be aware of the pitfalls. British Economist Charles Goodhart famously posited that "Any observed statistical regularity will tend to collapse once pressure is placed upon it for control purposes." and that "collapse" is core architectural problem with LLMs. If your corpus is a subset of all code, and your boundary condition is "does it compile" or "does it score >= x on benchmark y" that is what you'll get with a large enough corpus and enough iterations.
This is not to say that LLMs do not have their uses. Something, perhaps THE thing LLMs are good for is collating massive piles of disparate data. Thier usefulness as translators and summarizers is a subset of this as computationally speaking translation and collation are the same task. Sift through your dataset and identify which semantic tokens from Group A correlate most strongly to a given token in Group B and sort accordingly.
Real-time translation is a genuine "killer app" and worth being excited over but Searle's "Chinese Room" is not what most people have in mind when they think of AGI. I would posit that to most people (including myself) it is the "G" that makes the machine truly "I".
Playing it off as a joke requires both Gass to have been joking and the audience to believe that he was joking.
Not only only is Black a (relatively) big star, his fanbase is predominantly middle-aged cis-hetero folk who grew up waching 90s stoner comedies who's kids have grown up watching Kung-Fu Panda.
Point being that there's a lot of overlap between Trump's core constituents and Black's, and i suspect that Black is savvy enough to recognize that, and to recognize that this is not something said constituents were likely to take as "a joke".

This TBH
The Republicans and Democrats of the 19th century were not the Republicans and Democrats of today.
While obviously true in that the Republicans and Democrats of the 19th century have all long since passed on, I dont think that proves as much as you and @Hoffmeister25 seem to think it does.
While the issues of the day change, i don't think people (as a general class) do. I read a lot of late 19th/early 20th century history and it seems to me that the core axioms and motivating ethoses of the respective parties of 1920 are readily recognizable in thier 2020 counterparts.

I think it does and that you are taking refuge in pedantics to avoid the plain truth of my statement.

You accuse me of being "braindead" but...
For my part i think radical anarchists code more left-wing/progressive than they do right-wing or conservative. Would you like to argue otherwise?

I'm at least two for three on basic accuracy as you yourself have conceded that Guiteau was a Democrat. The only point of of contention is on whether radical anarchists code more "right" than "left". For my part i think radical anarchists code more left-wing/progressive than they do right-wing or conservative. Would you like to argue otherwise?

Its worse than that, let the record show that three of the first six elected GOP presidents (Lincoln, Garfield , and McKinley) were killed by Democrats. Meanwhile the lone Democrat to be assinated (JFK) was shot and killed by (depending on who you ask) either an avowed communist, or deep-state opperatives aligned with Lyndon Johnson.

There's also the issue of rule 4 "know your target, and what's behind it"
Not dead, from the video posted by the NY Post he appears to have been hit twice from an oblique angle, one round hitting his shoulder the other grazing his ear. Walked off the stage under his own power while waving to the crowd.
Edit: upon repeated viewing i think the woman wearing the red maga tank-top and cabela's hat behind trump probably got hit which would put the angle of the shot (and therefore the shooter) more to trump's front right.

Is it really psycho analysis though?
He's been pretty vocal in expressing his disdain for white people in general and western culture in particular. Are we supposed to just ignore that context when he starts going of about how people different from him desrve to be punished?
I feel like 2008 - 2010 was the tipping point. The one-two punch of the Iraq War and TARP broke the dam. The coverage of the tea-party and Trump eroded it further, and Covid became the final nail in the coffin.
Edit: to clarify a bit, i dont think Biden did as bad as he has been portrayed in some circles, but after months of the official narrative being that "Joe's sharper than ever, anyone suggesting otherwise is a russian troll" his debate performance might've well been a public execution.
Depends on where you draw the brackets. As you say, 1 in 8 is already really high, and i'm pretty sure you could get close to that over the couse of a lifetime (if not the next year and a half) simply by looking for people who hang out in sketchy places with sketchy people.
To build on my previous example, everyone in the nieghborhood knows that the middle Williams boy has always been a bit "exictable" / prone to violent outbursts and now he's started a beef with the local drug dealer. What are the odds he ends up getting shot, stabbed, or arrested in the next 18 months? 1 in 8 seems positively generous in that context.
