    AOC Must Run For President

    Jump

  • Unfortunately, the subset of Americans who actually understand what's at stake still seems to be smaller than we'd like.

    Sorry to put it this way, but as an outsider looking in... I don't think you even get it; and you're clearly an informed, smart person. I'm sorry this is going to probably come off as insulting despite my desire for it not to be.

    For instance you bring up Mamdani like he's just one of many potential candidates on the sideline and not literally the only candidate since Bernie & AOC. That's alarming to me considering how long it takes for someone to achieve national name recognition.

    "Rudderless" is exactly the word I would use to describe the movement currently.

    Meanwhile as someone raised conservative I think you're significantly overestimating how far the MAGA pendulum is going to swing.

    ...

    I'm not trying to be a pessimist but I do think progressives are being placated with casual optimism. The clock for America is running out. I genuinely think 2028 will be the last "United States" federal election, regardless of the outcome.

    AOC could very well win the 2028 presidency, but I guarantee there will not be a peaceful transfer of power.

    Here's hoping these mid term elections shift things for the better.

    ...

    Again sorry for being rude to you.

  • That comment is 100% correct while also contributing absolutely nothing of value.

    I agree with you in principle but until you can outgrow your .ML conditioning it's very pointless to engage you.

    Have fun jerking yourself off tho.

  • AOC can definitely do the job. I don't think there's any questions there. Her presidential run is a given long term. But running in 2028 is very much a last ditch effort to save democracy and I hope Americans understand that.

    The root problem is American apathy. While AOC might be a solution to that, the concern I have is how big of a target a presidential run puts on her. AOC in many ways is the political successor of Bernie Sanders. We're all expecting his passing before 2040. If the GOP/ETC target AOC, and she falls, who will lead in her stead?

    What worries me (as a non-american) is that if American's don't unify the movement will die with her.

  • This is not a classic bubble though. 1929 and Dot com didn't have these Ponzi Scheme X Ball & Cup shenanigans propping them up.

    Ponzi Scheme: TSLA, SPCX, ETC all having IPOs and owning stakes in each other and getting retail investors to pay their staffs wages.

    Ball & Cup: Nvidia invests in OpenAI, OpenAI uses those funds to buy AI Data Centers from Microsoft, and Microsoft builds those AI data centers with NVIDIA products.

    These mechanisms allow them to keep inserting cash into the bubble. Only after they have built the Data Centers and monopolized computer access will they allow the bubble to pop.

    New here eh? /s

    The front page is just VetOfTheSeas

    Never heard to them. Not sure if block'd or Tessaract'd. (Look up Tessaract in the search FYI)

    Jokes aside, search for communities to get more content. Like I'm from lemmy.ca but I sub to a lot of the main .world communities and some from sh.itjust.works

  • They actually expected gen-z would just pick up coding naturally because they grew up with smartphones. Peak boomer logic.

  • I think you're pretty on point.

    EoD the subscriptions aren't generating an ROI. I could see companies justifying losses in the 1st year and not accepting it will never be viable until after 2 fiscal years is the red.

  • Word on the web is that big tech is clueing in that AI isn't cheaper or better without at minimum intermediate level developers baby sitting it.

    I'd love to believe they're also recognizing the skills gap between people entering the industry and what the industry requires is only going to be solved by them hiring and training up entry level people. Sure would love to believe it...

  • MODS ARE ASLEEP POST AI ART

  • From OP but I'll elaborate:

    In case the joke is not obvious: While in universe, this is technically "AI art" in the sense that Data (who is an artificial being) had painted it, in reality, that episode came out in 1993, so that prop was undoubtedly painted by a human.

    Data is a unique android built by master android crafters; who designed him specifically to be humanlike. Data's makers were killed and Data was rescued by starfleet. HIs character arc throughout The Next Generation is him becoming more human while audience gets to examine human experiences through a different lens.
