Why are you quoting and replying to yourself?

Did your bot forget which user it was replying to?

"Didn't we eat pizza yesterday?" is an assertion phrased as a question.

They were doing that before the 10x budget, yeah?

Can we talk about the irrigation thing?

Where do you think the water for irrigation comes from?

Does the guy whose political campaign was "it's me, the guy who left a dead bear in Central Park (https://www.npr.org/2024/08/05/nx-s1-5063939/rfk-jr-central-...), deliberately swam in raw sewage (https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/12/us/politics/rfk-jr-rock-c...) and who had a brainworm (https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/08/us/rfk-jr-brain-health-me...) that presumably died of malnourishment?" seem like someone concerned with bad PR?

Does he seem like the sort big pharma would go "yes, fund that guy, great spokesperson!" Someone who endorses misama theory over germ theory? https://www.npr.org/sections/shots-health-news/2025/06/14/nx...

Why would you assume an AI model's training set doesn't have things like "you should report crimes to law enforcement" in it?

"Four out of five Supreme Court justices tasked with trying the former president", not Lula, and for a coup attempt.

> Irrigation technology. Solved.

Incredible. Peak HN.

> He is now hours away from losing the election to the first born son of Bolsonaro…

This aged great, lol.

StackOverflow had this problem, too; various large companies would put "for support, ask on StackOverflow!" style wording in place, with predictable results.

> Have you heard the cost of health insurance and seeing a doctor?

Yes. I've also heard the cost (death) of people falling into pseudosciency rabbit holes.

"I don't get to hear that it's not a doctor and I should call 911."

Sometimes, the requested information should be accompanied with a note like that.

> It will not do that unless you specifically teach it to do that…

Sorry, you're claiming local LLMs are somehow deterministic and never show unexpected behavior?

> It's pretty easy for a reasonable person to determine when to call 911…

Unfortunately, it's fairly tough for someone to determine if they are themselves a reasonable person.

A model that only ever says yes is a cognitohazard, IMO. Like being a billionaire without the money to insulate you from the consequences.

> My local model never says no.

> I don't get to hear that it's not a doctor and I should call 911.

You’re making the claim. Back it up.

Plus, tankies are a thing.

There've been a half dozen of these popping onto the home page; probably flagged as dupes.

The New York Times has "the needle" for major elections.

> I know 5 Brazilian people in the US and they are all voting for Bolsonaro.

100% of my friends know who I am, therefore I must be famous.

Trump was the guy to do the "two weeks" lockdowns during COVID.

Would you say the Trump administration still now supports that?

> Would they get paid by "crakpots" more than they could get paid by Big pharma !?

Yes. A whole bunch of the prominent "MAHA" folks sell/promote supplements, peptides, miracle cures.

There's a shitload of money in alternative medicine, and you can get away with more.

My suspicion is at least half are unpatched WordPress installs.

A shitload of small business sites that were built years ago and haven't been touched since.

Lots of apps will, for example, bring in your Google avatar (i.e. they fetch its URL for ingestion) as a default avatar if you use them for SSO. Slack included, IIRC.

> Congress is the one who is supposed fix things by making long term policy…

And that doesn't work all that well if SCOTUS and POTUS work to just nullify said policy, as they did with things like the Voting Rights Act, the Clean Air Act, etc.

See, for example, Biden's attempt to forgive student loans (despite legislation permitting it) versus Trump's green light to try and wipe out the entire (Congressionally established) agency.

> It's not how we've treated pardons in the past but the US has abandoned that as a deciding factor everywhere else.

What?

Nixon was pardoned without any conviction, or even charges.

"As a result of certain acts or omissions occurring before his resignation from the Office of President, Richard Nixon has become liable to possible indictment and trial for offenses against the United States."

"Now, Therefore, I, Gerald R. Ford, President of the United States, pursuant to the pardon power conferred upon me by Article II, Section 2, of the Constitution, have granted and by these presents do grant a full, free, and absolute pardon unto Richard Nixon for all offenses against the United States which he, Richard Nixon, has committed or may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 20, 1969 through August 9, 1974."

The relevant court precedent on this is over 150 years old: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ex_parte_Garland

"The court also ruled that the president can exercise the pardon power at any time after the commission of the crime..."

The Dems will get two years (with a hostile President) and be blamed for not fixing things fast enough in 2028.
