"But it's going to, it's going to tell them that you don't have to be a self-funding crypto billionaire to run for office" https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2024/10/27/2024-elections-live-coverage-updates-analysis/nebraska-independence-00185716 No one likes crypto billionaires the same way no one likes SPAC billionaires the same way people didn't like bankers (who have shaken the target on their back a little).

A few thoughts prompted by this Quanta video on LLM understanding https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6iO8TtCs_Cw 1. LLMs can be used to simulate and model humans in a battery of psychology and behavioral economics experiments 2. LLMs might be able to be applied to do next-brain-state-prediction 3. It's not clear that human understanding is even tied to anything other than the fact that the words and expressions we give voice to are sensible within our social context

So obvious, Eric Adams needs a pardon DESPERATELY. Democrats won't give it to him. Trump might. https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2024/10/26/2024-elections-live-coverage-updates-analysis/eric-adams-donald-trump-fascist-00185700

"JOE ROGAN: 'You are a fascinating guy.'" Same vibes as getting out of an off-the-walls nutty conversation and going, 'well ... uhhhhhhhhh ... that was interesting ... '

Well versed in schooling Yaleies! He moved between verses, emphasizing what “St. Paul is really talking about” in 1st Corinthians, gently chided JD Vance for having gone to Yale but “forgotten arithmetic” and expertly explained the central role of eastern North Carolina voters to any Democrat’s statewide vote coalition. https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2024/10/26/bill-clinton-north-carolina-harris-00185596

Given the possibility that Kamala loses the popular vote (or gets close to losing the popular vote) but wins the electoral college, we can finally finally say that Democrats are taking electoral politics seriously, forgoing running up the vote in liberal bastions and instead moderating on policy. Good news!

Declining to endorse (WaPo, LA Times - https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/oct/25/news-election-endorsements-washington-post-la-times) is a weird business decision too. In this media climate, media orgs are followed not just to report the news but to curate it. Editorial decisions matter even more! (Only Politico and like Axios) can get away with not endorsing)
