It's two different guys thanks to generative AI not being able to handle exact consistency between image outputs, but they definitely have two different faces.

I'm glad that the underlying problems with polling and the lack of proper context for poll respondents that made polls laughably inexcusable yesterday have all been resolved

You cannot look at the raw who wins yes 40% will go to this guy etc. What you can do is this same poll over this same area by this same company likely hitting some of the same people shows a change, that change can be seen as Biden's odds vs Trump have improved in the last month. That's all we can take from that.

They couldn't find a black guy to wear a MAGA hat? they had to AI this? They couldn't find a stock image of a black man wearing a generic red hat to photoshop the MAGA onto? That man has 3 arms this isn't even cherry picked AI this is zero shot.

I'm getting tired of everyone jist automatically accusing any image they don't like of being AI gnerated. It's resulted in some stupid witch hunts. Did it occur to you that Trump has very strong support in the tri-arm community? No, you just jumped to conclusions.

Genuinely, this is one of the things that they've gotten a lot better at. These images were the lowest of low effort on the shittiest of lovely image generators.

The firehose of trash from AI scripting in this election is going to be amazing. We'll have bots learning to make attack ads by filtering bot generated attack ads and they'll be cycling these so fast we'll be getting mailers that make the Necronomicon look complete normal and sane by September.

LandLine normally translates to PoTS (Plan old Telephone System) nothing fancy about it, not extensions no VOIP all analog. I'd be shocked if they mean differently.

I do not doubt that Trump is hurting the RNC but I would say this is also a little bit cope. If you look at the election years they seem to raise anywhere between 2x-4x what they do on nonelection years so it would seem that the big deal will be what the RNC raises in 2024 not 2023.

For instance look at the years 1996, 2000, 2004, 2008, 2012, 2016 and 2020.

Well it’s like with school shooters, they think the death penalty will scare them off, which is interesting since most of them kill themselves when the fuzz arrives.

A cursory glance at the wastelands formerly known as as Twitter shows that the typical right wing mouthpieces have apparently been told to parrot the line “Jacob Chansley said a prayer in the senate chambers and went to jail but the guy who had gay sex in the senate chambers got off scott free”

Edit: I know what I typed, don’t go for the “got off” joke

AI is never going to figure out how to do that non-nonsensically is it

The amount of processing power devoted to AI in the industry is doubling roughly every three months, leading to some significant gains relatively quickly. It would not be surprising if text is a priority for the image generation companies that is actively being worked on. It is probably one of the biggest hurdles to monetizing the technology, as I imagine one of the key end uses would be dynamically generated hyper targeted advertising, and thus text would be crucial to this. Other uses might be providing users with the ability to create their own ad copy with the technology, again needing clear, correct text. Probably dozens use cases where text is important. Looking at how far AI generative technology has advanced in the last 18 months I would not be surprised if the results of the next 18 months are significant.

A recent NCHS survey indicates that 27% of households still have a landline, but I would bet that at a significant chunk of that is now VOIP services offered through a broadband provider and not traditional phone service, and that either the survey didn't distinguish between the two or the respondents didn't.

For whatever difference that may make in all this. I'm sure at least some of the pollsters consider all this in their methodology and how they split things out, but also at the same time I almost kind of wonder why they reach out to land lines of any kind at all any more. There are VERY few households, like low single digits, that only have land line service and not mobile. I'm sure they have their reasons.
