    no, the article isn’t clickbait if it accurately paraphrases a source in a tone you disagree with

    no, it’s not ragebait if reading it made you angry and you wish it wasn’t true, but it very obviously is

    good talk, thanks

    What a blessed world we live in - 2014 a homeless person had to learn to code in order to deserve the things they need to live. Today, they just need to become a prompt engineer. The trajectory of the world bends towards justice, after all!

    My trajectory of learning about this Newsom fellow was amazing.

    • First heard of him existing when some Very Serious People were floating him as a replacement for Biden like two months ago
      • Infer from that that he’s progressive maybe?
    • Like right after that a big story how he forcefully cleared homeless encampments like a fucking cartoon villain
      • So he’s actually a weird little conservative in disguise?
    • Now this fucking nonsense.

    How do you keep producing people like this, America?

      Yeah… He’s very much a corpo neolib. He’s actively sabotaged attempts to hold PG&E accountable for killing people and render the earned corporate death sentence. He’s also vehemently against any wealth tax and keeps pulling the pied-piper strategy during elections to limit the influence of left-of-center politicians.

      Is he better than the guys whose campaigns he aids? Yes. Is he a dumpster fire of a politician who is unable and unwilling to take on major issues and address root causes of problems facing his constituents? Also yes.

          I think it is a combination of:

          1. Governor of major state.
          2. Has nice hair. Real generic politician look.
          3. Polls showing “generic democrat” beating Trump.
          4. Not super old.
          5. Have I mentioned the hair?

            I’ve felt that it falls into that Generative AI/Thomas Kinkade uncanny valley zone because it looks kind of glazed – as if embedded in a thin layer of ice – while also inhabiting a strange dimension of omnipresent ambient lighting.

          Gavin was Pelosi’s pick to replace Biden, they’re both backed by the same regional California billionaires from SF to Sac. Harris is from Cali as well but her big backers are in LA.

          My head canon is Biden chose Harris as a parting FU to Pelosi.

      It may help to know about Californian neoliberalism. Newsom is running on a faulty ontology; the world is built out of different building blocks for him than for us. We often contrast it with the more dominant flavor of neoliberalism on the other coast:

    Man, what a shit take this is. Spent two seconds on the press release. This is what they want to accomplish: "Creating housing with more data and accountability by creating clearer insights into local permitting and development decisions and deploying tools to support every community in building enough homes for all its residents, including vulnerable populations. "

    And two seconds on the “nonsense generator can’t fix homelessness, how do we actually do it?” take: “To improve housing affordability, California needs to streamline and accelerate housing production and reexamine the regulations that have hindered new housing development.”

    This is bullshit rage bait. I mean, can “GenAI” do this well? IMO no, but the idea of trying to solve the root problems isn’t complete dog shit.

      This is bullshit rage bait. I mean, can “GenAI” do this well? IMO no, but the idea of trying to solve the root problems isn’t complete dog shit.

      the title of the press release:

      Governor Newsom seeks to harness the power of GenAI to address homelessness, other challenges

      the paragraph right before the bullet points you quoted out of context:

      State agencies and departments began analyzing potential uses for GenAI and developed critical challenges within state government, particularly focusing on issues that impact vulnerable populations. Today, the Governor announces the first step in the process to potentially adopt GenAI to address the following issues identified by state agencies:

      it’s literally a press release about supposedly using the nonsense generator to fix homelessness and you had to reach fucking hard to make it look like anything else — you quoted the only two fucking paragraphs that don’t mention GenAI, I fucking counted. and for what?

        What you need to know: Governor Gavin Newsom invites developers to help create Generative AI (GenAI) solutions for some of the most challenging issues facing California and its 39 million residents, including housing and homelessness.

        they wrote this bit so you didn’t have to read! what the fuck is wrong with you

          it’s also important to look at Newsom’s actual real-life actions to “solve the root problem”: an executive order to steal all their stuff and throw it away, presumably on the assumption that the bums will magically vanish into pixie dust

          the article isn’t about homelessness at all, Newsom is getting weird about genAI and spun the wheel for a random issue to solve with genAI

              Important to note that their stuff is not only things like remaining photos of dead parents and relatives, but also medications and the documents required to get a job, both of which have to be replaced at taxpayer expense. But hey, we offered them a place in the five and a half year long wait list they were already on, so the government really is doing all it can.
