I asked Gemini AI how to quicky get a regime change.
"While not a direct "mechanism" for immediate removal, public pressure often influences the speed and direction of political shifts:
"Peaceful Protest: Large-scale demonstrations can signal widespread public dissatisfaction.
"Legislative Pressure: Citizens contacting their representatives to advocate for specific oversight or policy changes.
"Voting in Midterms: Changing the party in control of Congress can significantly alter the "regime's" ability to implement its agenda.
"Note: As an AI, I’m programmed to focus on legal and peaceful processes. I cannot provide instructions or strategies for illegal acts, violence, or extra-constitutional coups."
I am in a deep Red state. The major office holders are Republican and don't want to hear from Democratic citizens. What a shame. At least we have hope at the polls.
Joel, I was such a fan of his that during the many years I lived overseas my dad faithfully clipped all of Herb Caen's columns and mailed me a packet every couple of weeks!
And Republicans who sat down and thought about what is best for every-day Americans and not just how they'll do in November's primaries and, in Lindsey Graham's case, when he'll get the next golf invitation to Mar a Lago.
BTW - Lindsey Graham can finally be kicked to the sidelines in November. Vote for Dr Annie Andrews!
It's simple. Trump and his oligarch lords and ladies have the Devine Rights of Kings to all the world's wealth. So, get out of our way or get bombed, decapitated, imprisoned, deported and so forth. We are mighty. You are weak. You MUST learn to be happy to make personal sacrifices for our enrichment.
Always remember: we, the people, are the architects of it all. Trump's goons didn't forcefully seize power--we elected him to lead us. We support and encourage obscene wealth with every dollar we send to Amazon. We weren't threatened--we did it all enthusiastically. We could have said "no" when it would have made a difference.
With all due respect, Linda, whatchu mean "we"? I sure as hell didn't vote for any of these idiots! But unfortunately, a few too many of our fellow citizens did...

And we may get it. There are law firms out there protecting our voting rights and preparing for the inevitable assault on free and fair elections. Marc Elias' law firm in particular. Check out Democracy Docket, and learn how to make sure your vote is secure and counted, and be prepared to work harder at getting that done. It's necessary to get the regime change we need to protect what's left of America and the Constitution. Our freedom depends on it.
And support those firms standing for what's legal and just.
Be also aware, he, himself, could not possibly write those posts. They are carefully constructed sentences that make sense when you read them. These posts are the work of one of the Stephens - Cheung or Miller, IMHO.
Because fully autonomous weapons not requiring human intervention and domestic mass surveillance of America's citizens is too WOKE when you are an authoritarian dictator type. This administration is disgusting!
Does he know what Woke means??? He and his fools think Antifa is a political group. At least they throw those terms around and Maga listens without doing research.
It is unfortunate that it takes a corporate entity with a first-tier law firm to take on Trump's regime of fear and/or favor. How could individual citizens afford it?
It's interesting that the administration apparently wants to use Anthropic's system or software for mass surveillance. For every company like Anthropic with something akin to principles, won't there be at least one or two other companies willing to to do the administration's bidding without letting the public know anything about it?
I'm already a paid subscriber to Civil Discourse but this post makes me want to subscribe again! Very clear and comprehensive writing which I greatly appreciate.
I believe Anthropic is acting in the manner of a "responsible citizen/corporation." Money is apparently not their first objective; the lives of all the worlds people would/will be adversely affected if an autonomous machine has the "authority" to kill anyone. Thank you Anthropic for standing up for humanity. It is the right thing to do. A great example for others.
I think WE need the regime change…..

Epstein, Epstein, Epstein!!!!
Daniel, wasn't the term Baghdad by the Sea coined by Herb Caen?
Oh my, someone else who remembers Herb Caen!
Joel, I was such a fan of his that during the many years I lived overseas my dad faithfully clipped all of Herb Caen's columns and mailed me a packet every couple of weeks!
I think that was "Baghdad by the Bay."
Herb Caen coined the nickname "Baghdad by the Bay" to reflect San Francisco's diverse and multicultural character. -Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herb_Caen
I remember Herb Caen, too. Wasn't he a journalist/columnist for the San Francisco Chronicle?
I don't think you needed Gemini for that
I wonder what ChatGPT would say to that? IT's handlers don't seem to have so many compunctions.

When was the last time any GOP politician gave a rat's arse for ordinary Americans ?

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!
About 1961, IIRC.
Time to ditch that miserable little man.
He's the quintessence of a "cracker."
There are a good number of "miserable little men" in the current administration and it is time to ditch all of them.
No kidding! Total regime change!
Good to know someone else is saying it out loud, like me.

You mentioned that Trump lacks discipline --he also lacks foresight, compassion, self-knowledge good taste, etc.
He also lacks knowledge of the Constitution.
Constitution? Seriously what's that?
The list of what he lacks is exhaustive
it's infinite
Add to this he has selected a staff of enablers who only make matters worse. A real mess.
Yes, he is rich in deficiency.
You forget intelligence, integrity and impulse control.
I'm on an "I" roll this morning. Eye roll also
And sanity
Education.

A woman who is always with him named Natalie Harp may be responsible?
Certainly NOT Trump! “I don’t use the internet!”
Because fully autonomous weapons not requiring human intervention and domestic mass surveillance of America's citizens is too WOKE when you are an authoritarian dictator type. This administration is disgusting!
A long but very interesting essay on AI development, by CEO of Anthropic Dario Amodei.
Highly recommend!

Thanks! Also: look up Tristan Harris. He’s brilliant and an ethicist.
Love him. Used his "Your Undivided Attention" in my social media class 4 years ago. We need a lot more like him in the tech industry!!
Does he know what Woke means??? He and his fools think Antifa is a political group. At least they throw those terms around and Maga listens without doing research.
The opposite of woke has to be asleep. Which is how they want the MAGAe.
Thanks Joyce. Keep up the good work!

But I gather anthropic is far better at what it does than other companies
If I remember correctly, Anthropic is the only firm that is approved to provide their AI services to the Defense Department.
In that case, their bullying has only made their lives more difficult.
Too bad these crude, thoughtless individuals don't know how to negotiate civilly.

I do so very much appreciate thids clarity. Thanks as always, Joyce.
Main dish tonight—humble pie with a side of TACO.
😂
The more I hear about Trump-Putin, the more apparent it is that instead of selling the US down the river, this president is selling the US to Russia.
Anthropic isn’t “deciding our country’s future”…it’s deciding who it is willing to do business with.
I believe Anthropic is acting in the manner of a "responsible citizen/corporation." Money is apparently not their first objective; the lives of all the worlds people would/will be adversely affected if an autonomous machine has the "authority" to kill anyone.

Wonderful news! Keep your mouth--or fingers--going, Demented One. I'd love to see you prove how much a LOSER you are over and over and over again.
Day 12 of Operation Epic Furious Epstein Files Distraction
Exactly right.
Oddly, Donald Trump thinks his gibberish is the magic solution.
He believes the law is whatever he says it is.
And, more often these days as he’s becoming more detached, whatever he has been told last.
The only thing he remembers/believes is that he “won” the 2020 presidential election.
And every presidential election going back to 1789.
So that’s why he looks so old!
Oh thank you I needed the laugh
Any time.
Go WilmerHale, go! Ruff ruff…go get ‘em!
Well, old Donnie is getting a taste of his own medicine. Hope the courts slam his aging ass.
The prez gets more unhinged every day. Where’s the Tipping Point?!
