I think we might be talking about separate things. I tested with this 32B distilled model using llama-cpp.

Just to clarify - DeepSeek censors its hosted service. Self-hosted models aren’t affected.

Completely agree.

I might be wrong, but I think the Palestinian community had Kamala’s attention and a real opportunity to affect policy if she won the election.

Trump obviously doesn’t care what anyone thinks. He only cares about money/power.

I still think the core problem lies with advertising on social media, especially contextual/targeted advertising. What if we prohibited for-profit social media companies?

Nailed it.

Countries can do a lot of things. You’re discussing something that didn’t happen though.

According to the article, we sanctioned Venezuela, and they ignored those sanctions to purchase and smuggle a plane from the US.

The sanctions themselves are a separate discussion, but I think a reasonable person could expect some form of consequence. To be clear, I’m not defending the sanctions. I haven’t spent enough time reading about them to form an opinion.

?

Was Air Force One illegally purchased in China and smuggled out?

I wonder if there’s any correlation to PAC contributions.

You may know more about this than I do, but this seems incorrect. The crypto industry relies on trading commodities. If they wanted a digital currency, would they not lobby for a central bank digital currency?

This is embarrassing. Currency should never be an industry in the first place.

I’ve always been confused by VISAs that disallow application for permanent residence. This seems like a bad faith gesture on the government’s part. You’re setting folks up for failure because life happens.

What if we allow individuals to apply for residence regardless of VISA type and incentivize abandoning the opportunity by returning a security deposit of sorts?

Glad to see it! I’m tired of MAGA tarnishing terms that have traditionally held a positive connotation.

Agreed. A lot of money has been spent on crafting agenda and shaping public and party opinions. Although malicious, Project 2025 seems carefully considered. I assume the wealthy investors bankrolling the project have considered Trump’s mortality as well.

Civil War against who? Super PACs?

I think most people agree that was a harmful decision though.

Bless their hearts

I guess this just reinforces the problem with Citizens United. All that free speech is infringing on everyone’s free speech.

Agreed. What about an inflation adjusted campaign budget for each elected position? I believe this system is already used in some countries.

I feel like this would promote a focus on policies/platforms and encourage good faith campaigning.
