My comment about light being a bot was sarcastic lol. But everything else I meant genuinely. I am sharing my experience. I have no idea how it works for other industries. But I know for sure how it works for mine

On one hand, creating a Charlie Kirk holiday is one step away from creating a Donald Trump holiday and two steps away from creating an Adolf Hitler holiday.

On the other hand, if Republicans want us to have an annual celebration for the permanent removal of a vile human being, then who am I to object?

I'm sure you'll be about as pleased as I was to discover Democrat House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries was able to whip 95 votes from his fellow Democrats in favor of it.

Come on guys, who wouldn't want to vote for someone honoring the leadership and legacy of Kirk? Okay, maybe a trans person, but Trump's got a plan for that.

lol to the mod who warned me: it was definitely a bit too dry of delivery so my apologies for the confusion.

The joke was that congress isn’t a real institution after Trump decided to just handle everything with executive orders. AI models are usually trained on data that ends way before the model is released. If a model were released today, it would likely be trained on data ending a few months ago. And so when LightSpectra indicated Trump doesn’t have the power to do something without congress, I joked that the only way he could think that is if he does not have information pertaining to the past 9 months.

I have interacted with LightSpectra many times and I am aware they are human.

Fuck that noise. Get, some, bloody, balls. Christ! Please, can we at least try that?

I have no issue whatsoever with the Dems joining a resolution condemning the killing, bemoaning political violence in a general sense, or anything in that kind of vein. Indeed, in current circumstances and the climate, I think it’s a responsible thing to doing many ways.

Why join the GOP in gargling Charlie Kirk’s deceased balls? You can still show respect and decorum without doing that.

Some of the nays indeed did just that, least the few statements I read.

It's a meaningless resolution that Dems only voted for so we don't have to hear millions of dollars of attack ads about Dems being so bloodthirsty they won't even vote for a meaningless resolution condemning political violence.
