My understanding of the current LLM AI systems is that they are almost
purely mathematical linear algebra. They are just looking for the next
word in an enormous word soup of what is hoovered from the internet.
They can't work rationally unless they are trained. The actual training
requires scores (hundreds?) of humans throw out illogical conclusions.

Most people shut up about their views in public and seem perfectly
nice and normal, unless they feel they are among people in their own
silo, or unless alcohol is involved. There is a reason polite
conversation used to avoid politics and religion. It lets us maintain
the fiction that our friends, neighbors and relatives are not morons
or sociopaths or serial killers.
And now we don’t just have social media to worry about, we have AI.

That's not left. It is fringe.
These days Dick Nixon would appear left to most on the right.

Oops, sorry, I didn’t see it was on Facebook. Looks like Daily
Show is on Paramount+ and that does seem to be paywalled. Not like
some shows that post clips the next day on Youtube.
It’s Jon Stewart commenting on Trump’s conversation with the
governor of Oregon that indicates he may be watching 5 year old
footage on TV rather than what’s happening now. And Stewart says
we don’t know what you’re watching on TV but yes, if you’re
watching Game of Thrones, it’s a hellscape. There be dragons.
