You could’ve DMed me.
Anyone can help
It wasn’t directed just at you.
Actually seems like a really cool practice to allow anyone to pickup the ball on correction in case OP wasn’t online.
Especially with an hour time limit. I’ve come back to replies from 3, 4, 5 hours ago and I’m on here pretty regularly.
Does anyone else smell his AI collaborator?
I do not want to be led, I want someone who will act like a hammer to be wielded by myself and my fellow voters so our collective arm can nail down our rights.
I’d change that to fellow citizens, there are more people than voters in a nation. Its important a voter remembers they aren’t only casting that ballot to effect their own lives, but for all, including those that don’t have a capacity or right to vote.
Examples include children, recent migrants, certain disabled persons.
You can thank Republican donors for contributing: https://www.axios.com/2026/06/15/republican-primary-meddling-democrats-midterms-ny
They’re boosting what they percieve to be “unelectable” candidates in Democratic primaries, but I think this effort will backfire.
Democrats did the same thing (boosting MAGA candidates in Republican primaries), and that backfired big time.
Liberals 0.5 seconds into the DNC being criticized for losing elections and not inspiring interest: “Did an AI write this? Only a robot would want the Democrats to win elections.”
It does read like bullet points that I have gotten out of ChatGPT before.
Thats not to say he didn’t get his thoughts down and then have AI arrange them
If progressives take over the party then wouldn’t you want Democrats to win the elections at least they want a democracy. The right wing has decided if it is a choice between democracy and power they want power.
Democracy isn’t an end in and of itself; if you’re ever choosing between democracy and weilding power to do the things you were elected to to, that would benefit the people, you don’t have a democracy.
This is relevant when the corporate democrats find all the red tape they need to justify not taking actions their voters want, but their donors don’t.
We want less people addicted to online debate and more people active within their society. What do you think Madani was doing before getting elected. He was on the streets, in the churches, anywhere where people are. Not on a big platform making big statements.
Just a reminder that Hunter Biden has never met his own daughter, demanded his father never meet her, and is a petty evil person. The ironic-funny part of a former junkie speaking so eloquently and being a pop-culture celebrity of sorts should not distract people from how he treated his own kid. He’s disgusting and should be reviled, and not because of the drug use or hookers.
family matters aren’t political issues, though?
What has that to do with what is said in the post?
People are being murdered on a daily basis by the current administration. Fuck off with this puritan nonsense.
I feel dumber after reading this.

- Dems should only run candidates in NY.
Bro thinks he’s on LinkedIn. Wtf man you don’t even have to work, like ever. Just shut up and go live on a beach somewhere. Fuck. Even when they say things I agree with it’s disgusting
Personally, i rather have them say things i agree with than living on a beach somewhere staying quiet about everything. Not saying i want him in control of anything, but the more people echo things i agree with the more likely they will materialize some day.
It hurts me, but I know that you’re right. It’s good to have someone with that level of audience saying something that ultimately I do agree with, even if he’s saying it in a really cringy way. But that doesn’t mean I have to like it, lol
I’d rather have a better spokesman for my ideas than Genocide Joe’s Cokehead Failson. It’s not like centrists are going to listen to him either.
HunterGPT
He did the “It’s not X, it’s Y” thing twice in a single tweet. Lol
It’s a common rhetorical device, especially for politicians. I don’t think it’s a smoking gun for LLM-ness at all.
Anyone who’s taken a tech writing course - it’s not on writing for techies, it’s the technical bits of writing - will use that all the time. Ya frame the assumption and show the reality.
The “not A but Z” thing and variations thereof was pretty common before LLMs. The noticeable thing about their usage of it is they’re trying to use language meant to take the reader from something they might genuinely be confused about to a surprising conclusion, and using it in a way that’s entirely banal. It relies on distance between A and Z, and genuine possibly of either. Humans tend to have way better intuition about what is surprising to other humans, and don’t make insane mistakes like LLMs do.
Rather than have “Z” be self-evidently interesting, the LLM need to tell us that it’s not “A”. Except no one thought anything was “A” in the first place, and the “Z” is barely a “B” let alone a “Z”.
This also goes for couplings of three short descriptors (“Simple. Intuitive. Seamless.”) and summations (“the important part to realise is:”), bullet point lists, etc. All techniques to say: here’s the important part, here’s the bit you should listen to.
We are seriously about 18 months away from people thinking punctuation and complete sentences are AI because they have literally never read anything not posted on Twitter or Facebook.
And in 18 years?
I am no Hunter apologist by any means, but this doesn’t look like an LLM wrote it to me.
Not saying Hunter himself wrote it either; just doesn’t look like a machine.
It’s definitely AI.
An LLM probably didn’t write it but it reads so painfully like the LLM dialect I cringed the entire time even though I agreed.
It sounds a lot like Claude to me.
Sucks that we can’t give credit to people who could just have good writing skills.
It’s not good writing. That’s part of it. “They aren’t a sword, they are a question mark.” That’s just bad.
“The lesson under the lesson:” is a very LLM closing statement.
And the multiple “It’s not [x], it’s [y]”
“sword | question mark”
“strategy | empty room”Now you’re just quoting redditors.
I mean the AIs copied it from somewhere
Seriously. AI talks like this because this is how effective communicators talk. The fact that people are getting turned off by this way of communicating and seeking out worse writing is concerning, and yet another way that AI is contributing to the dumbing down of society.
My CTO and I had a fun convo at 7am about em dashes before a big client preso. We all know we all do it. Why do we care at this point? It’s just being transparent.
I don’t use AI at all, but I refuse to change my writing style just to avoid the appearance of AI use. After all, AI just copies human writers, and if it becomes the norm to write in a style that is distinct from typical AI output, then AI output will just change to the new style and we’ll be back at square one.
Yall bitch about Ai slop and you can’t even see it when it’s served in front of you by an ex drug addict. Lol and I don’t mind Hunter, but he doesn’t speak like this, the cadence is clearly AI, and the writing fucking sucks it just sounds profound to minds as deep as a puddle. Not to mention, who gives a fuck what he has to say?
I hate AI slop as much as the next person, but some people become so obsessed with finding and pointing out that something is AI that everything starts to look like AI. They also tend to use it to dismiss the messaging, as you are doing. In this case, we’ll never know if this is AI or not, and it really doesn’t matter, because Hunter is correct, and he’s using his platform to point out a systemic issue that needs to change.
I don’t think it’s great writing. To me, regardless of AI involvement, it sounds like it’s trying hard to be punchy. Big ideas, big impact! But the lack of structural variation and generic vocabulary make it bland, and bland writing doesn’t tickle one’s imagination or stick in one’s memory.
It’s not necessarily great writing, but this style is an effective communication mode. There’s a reason that AI uses it, and it’s because it works. 🤷♂️
Bland can have an impact. The man turned to hookers and blow instead of dusty libraries, cut him a break.
I’m keeping my fucking god-damned em dash
Just use a regular dash. It’ll be fine.
It’s genuinely making me want to make mistakes just to seem human
YouTube videos… It’s getting harder. If they don’t make mistakes, I can’t tell anymore.
The Middle East is not a strategy. It’s an empty room.
I like how he used chatgpt to talk about how voters want authenticity
He didn’t say Middle EAST. He said the Middle, as in the middle of the field or in the middle on issues.
Wow holy shit my eyes fully read a word that wasn’t there lmfao
Good on you for admitting it instead of doubling down!
happens to the best of us
Indeed, it’s very common for this to happen to anyone.
This man is CORRUPT and holds NO Valuable Opinion to the Democratic Party!
-The Democratic Party that ELECTED His Father!
He has a tremendous hog, though. It’s a matter of public record.
And also: capitalism is failing the majority of people by continuing to funnel wealth to those who already have money. Voters are offered a choice between two options, neither of which actually want to solve this, because both major parties are controlled by wealthy corporate donors. The two-party system prevents any third party, no matter their platform, from having any chance at election.
Democratic socialist candidates got elected in NY because Mamdani is demonstrably helping people in actual, tangible ways. The most famous example is fixing potholes. This is a breath of fresh air for voter and is the same “sewer socialism” strategy used in the first half of the 1900s in wisconsin, which focused on pragmatically improving life for the general public…famously by improving the sewer system.
Capitalism isn’t failing. It’s succeeding; doing exactly what it’s always done.
“Liberal democracy” is failing, because it is an oxymoron. The concept of democracy being compatible with an economic system where every org is a plutocracy/oligarchy with enormous wealth (power) inequality, is a mass-delusional mental illness. It was never going to work on any meaningful timeline.
“Capitalism failing a majority” isn’t “capitalism is failing”.
The former statement is always true, because capitalism serves the winners which will always be a minority or move to become a minority if it isn’t (how it got in that state is anyone’s guess). The question is only how much it’s failing the majority. The two’s interests can align for a time, but the needs and wants of one are almost always in direct conflict with the other’s. The failures currently are massive, thus why running on helping people and actually doing the job of government (its role in a so-called “mixed-economy”) is working better than anti-socialist/communist rhetoric to combat it.
Soundbites are good, but so is replying to what the other person said(mostly so we don’t put words in other people’s mouths)
Yeah, that was some ambiguous wording on my part. To elaborate: Americans are told from birth that capitalism is this wonderful system that gives us freedom of choice, and that the free market causes the best products and the most well-run companies to prosper. This belief system is reflected in prosperity gospel, which is the same ideology but coated in a layer of religion. We americans are told that if we just work hard enough, we can be rich too.
But that’s not how capitalism really works. The division of people into working and ruling classes, and the abstraction of value means that the more money you have, the more you can extract from the workers who actually produce the value. This reality is largely ignored, or suppressed, or denied.
So you have these massive numbers of people who were told capitalism will let them be “successful”, ie financially secure and…it doesn’t. There’s only one grocery store in town so you buy what’s available. There’s no bus system so you buy a car and be in debt however long it takes. The so-called “free market” is dominated by actors who can afford to purchase their competition.
Capitalism works as intended by the elite who do more to uphold it than anyone else: they get more and more money. The nominal goal of prosperity and growth for all is never realized, and this is framed as individual failures rather than the effect of the system itself. “Just work harder and your boss will give you a raise!”
Recently, a (reputable) polling firm called me. It was about a survey on future prospects. One of the questions asked what I considered to be the most pressing problems people are currently facing. My answer was: billionaires, the ongoing centralization of the internet, and climate change.
Perhaps not the most eloquent answer, since all of these issues actually stem from the same root cause—namely, run-amok cutthroat capitalism—but off the top of my head, I couldn’t think of anything better.
The Democratic Party leadership is corrupt and those individuals are more interested in maintaining their own proximity to wealth and power than “winning” or providing any material benefit or protection for their supposed constituents. They don’t lose because they’re incompetent or tone deaf, they lose because they want to.
He was absolutely correct until that last fucking sentence. Nobody wants to be led, and these people aren’t leaders. They are executives, their job is to execute the will of the people, and that is what we want.
Some people want to be told what to do all the time. Most of those people are magats, but not all of them.
