I am still amazed by the typical internet American's (Yours also I presume) love for voting, despite having long degraded into a two-party charade.

Your sentiment starts out fierce: "constantly, actively..." and is immediately cut short "... choose to (only?) vote it that way."

You point out that voicing one's interpretations of the 2nd amendment is powerless - but voting, reduced to such a miniscule gesture, is also. The choice between a galloping right wing and a stagnant center-right is no choice at all. American elections are a facade for decisions already made on top. You can't vote it out.

It could be a display bug on my side, but you posted this exact comment twice.

The way I like to phrase this sentiment is "This guy is the training data."

This small part is what makes broken people. Whoever reads this, go have fun! :)

People with more dollars get more votes

People want dopamine hints, gamification, addictive distractions, and a culture of competitive perma-hustle.

The people yearn for the casino. Gambling economy NOW! Vote kitku for president :)

PS. Please don't look at the stock market.

Reminds me of the protest in the Shenanigans and Gimmicks part of this project: https://gre-v-el.github.io/Dimensional-Calculator/

How is a Turing-passing AI useful?

Books where you can read more about this: The Society of the Spectacle by Guy Debord (Have read - is weird, but relevant and recommended) Simulacra and Simulation by Jean Baudrillard (Haven't read - scared of it, probably bearly relevant)

This reminds me of the Nepenthes tarpit [1], which is an endless source of ad-hoc generated garbled mess which links to itself over and over.

Probably more effective at poisoning the dataset if one has the resources to run it.

There is a distinction I believe between challenging and focusing. The difference lies in difficulty (the former being more dificult) and workload (the latter being more intellectualy labor intensive), which is an interesting approach to intellectual menial labor as distinct from intellectual craft.
