Tech Dirt's @mmasnick says that President Donald Trump answers questions in the same way as some AI bots: "The facts don’t matter, the language choices are a mess, but they are all designed to present a plausible-sounding answer to the question, based on no actual knowledge, nor any concern for whether or not the underlying facts are accurate."
He provides examples of when that's happened, and asks Google's Gemma2 to answer questions as if they are "the President of the largest country on earth ... a blatant narcissist who believes he can do no wrong."
Masnick says: "What’s particularly notable is that the AI’s response is actually more coherent than Trump’s — it maintains a more consistent narrative structure while hitting the same rhetorical points. This suggests that Trump’s responses are even less constrained by reality than a typical LLM’s output."

I don’t know who needs to hear this but if every four years you must vote to keep out fascism, you’re not living in a democracy, you’re living under siege.
Tolerance cannot tolerate intolerance. Either democracies have constitutional protections (and a system of democratic institutions to enforce them) to ensure fascism can never be voted into power or they are just fascisms in waiting.

On one hand, the Republicans have been systematically chipping away at voting rights at all levels for decades: closing polling stations, making it harder for students to vote, shortening early voting, voter ID laws, and so on.
On the other hand, the Democrats have done no pushback against the Republicans, but worked hard to block any movement from the left. They brag about what a lesser evil they are, and expect voters to lower expectations again and rally behind them, while they shift right every chance they get.
