I don’t think Bernie sanders lost entirely because he didn’t get his funding from rich people or corporations. Democrats don’t like to admit that you also need the approval of the corrupt political bodies that decide everyone ie the DNC.
Yes, the DNC uses superdelegates, which is an undemocratic part of the process. But in both 2016 and 2020, Sanders did poorly enough in the regular primaries that the number of superdelegates was irrelevant to the final outcome.
As much as I hate to say it, and as someone who very much would like to have seen Sanders win either of those primaries, much of America is further to the right than Sanders, and seemingly have no desire to learn the difference between social democracy and socialism.

Superdelegates who had made public announcements were, through 2016, usually counted in running delegate counts by media and not distinguished from pledged delegates. Because the perception of winning votes is...actually, empirically, a powerful means of winning more votes, this meant the superdelegates were a significant influence on winning pledged delegates.
Because Sanders did so well in 2016, his faction won major concessions in DNC rules, including the erasing of first-ballot superdelegate voting rights (well, in the circumstances where they could matter). As a result, their collective thumbs were lifted off the nominating process in 2020 (now, Sanders did worse in 2020 anyway, both the situation and the field of primary candidates were different.)
That road was completely empty and that guy must have just caved in and started looking at his phone. You didn’t see a motorcycle with functioning head and tail lights at 1AM? Sure. The article says these crashes are because of Tesla cutting corners but everyone who has access to FSD is made aware that this is beta software and that human intervention might be needed at any time. It’s definitely the drivers fault, not Tesla. I don’t want an entire division of the self-driving effort to be killed because of some frumpy journalists.
Humans will human. I'd you give someone a system that doesn't require their attention or put significant effort into holding it for long enough, they WILL quit focusing on it and become distracted. Especially in something like a car where they can't get up and move around to keep alert. If your system doesn't account for the human, your system is faulty.
Right and this has been known across a broad range of activities for a long time and is exactly why a reasonable company like Waymo decided against providing better driver assistance and instead focused only on actual self driving.
If system marketed as self-driving can't notice other road users in those conditions it should be banned from use until it can. I could reasonably accept if there was very heavy fog or blizzard limiting human visibility to a few meters. Anything else, shut it all down and let them prove that it can not ever happen again.
Doesn’t make sense when it can never exist unless it grows on the road, regardless of which company you’re talking about, and also when it’s already statistically safer than humans. If your standard is “never ever again” then you either have to admit that you want all cars banned or that you’re wrong.
The key is “every possible conversation.” The reason it seems to support what you’re saying is that the human mind can’t imagine a list large enough to contain all that. So it goes to compare an ordinary grocery list to a human mind and therefore naturally hash tables could never be sentient.
When DALLE 2 creates a new image of an entirely novel scene, is it just copying and pasting? Of course not. It is distilling and reasoning in concepts. You can’t escape that. GTP and friends are doing something similar. Brushing aside these astounding strides as statistical tricks of the eye is stupid. Clearly these training algorithms are discovering things that are much deeper. There’s no reason to think sentience has been achieved but you are absolutely fooling yourself about the nature and trajectory of these programs.
