"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

They'll go after anyone who doesn't look like they vote Republican.
Anyone who isn't white might need to carry several forms of ID to not be arrested by ICE at polling stations, and if they get arrested then they'll just be held for long enough that the polling stations close. I'm trans and I don't really match my government issued ID, there's a nonzero chance I'll be arrested when I try to vote. Or maybe I'll be killed, it's not like ICE hasn't killed other citizens.
You aren't taking this seriously.
I'm taking it DEAD seriously. I just don't think American Citizens showing on Election Day on THIS PARTICULAR ELECTION DAY are going to take any crap. ICE is going to find a very hostile environment if they show up.
If they get violent, I think it is very likely that they will be met with violence. This is LITERALLY our VOTES. I can't think of anything more worthy of getting violent about. If we won't fight for our right to VOTE, directly in front of the POLLS, what will we fight for?
And that environment hurts their side just as bad as ours. Conservatives are notoriously cowardly, that's why they're conservatives - they are afraid of everything, and are desperate for protection - and MAGAs are worst of all. If there are threats of violence and riots at the polls, they are likely to stay home, which they are going to be inclined to do anyway.
ICE Apes at the polls is intimidation, nothing more, they probably won't even show up.
