New at LibertyClick.org: The Birthday Problem


The ‘Birthday Problem’ is a famous mathematical exercise:


How many people need to be in a room to reach probability that two of them have the same birthday?


One would typically assume that it would take far more than it does.


How many people do you think it takes for the probability that two of them share a birthday to reach 50% ?


Each of them has a chance to match every other person in the room… 23

It runs a huge proportion of the world’s professional websites and is easy to learn. It allows anyone willing to spend a few hours learning to have their own website or blog that they can post to. It is one of the technologies most responsible for decentralization of publishing. It is also open source, with infinite plugins to add functionality, such as automatic cross-posting to social media sites.
 
1-2-21: (backdated) Happening - When Trump Called Raffensperger About Election Fraud
An hourlong phone call between President Donald J. Trump and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger was leaked. Trump lost the state by 11,779 votes, and called to ask Raffensperger to reconsider the election results. It was spun as ‘threatening,’ of course, and Raffensperger refused, despite all of the obvious fraud that had already been known to occur.


At best, if Raffensperger is honest, fear of repercussions from those who perpetrated the fraud were more compelling incentive than fear of repercussions from the justice system or anywhere else.


Georgia was the state with the famous footage of an election worker named Ruby Freeman pulling suitcases full of ballots out from under the table.


Once President Biden made it to office, he eventually gave Ruby Freeman a Presidential Citizen’s medal on the anniversary of J6 2023.


It’s how regimes work!

SCI – Sensitive Compartmented Information
Posted on February 3, 2023 by LSJohn

I have to wonder whether there’s something I’m misunderstanding about these recent ongoing controversies regarding classified information.


My impression has long been that SCI documents were under the second-highest classification level ( Confidential – SECRET – TOP SECRET – SCI – Code-Word. There could very likely be even higher levels whose existence we aren’t supposed to even know about.)


It is a violation of the Espionage Act of 1917 to have private control of documents under even the least sensitive of the classifications, “Confidential,” but SCI documents are a VERY big super-sensitive matter.


What I’m getting to is the apparent weakness of the criticisms being levied against Biden (quite different from Trump — more on that later.) The very fact that classified documents were resting in a private space of which Biden had authority makes him — as I understand it — guilty of one count for each classified document (classified at any level) discovered. There is no possible excuse for a current or former US Senator, or Vice President, or any other person to control those documents.


The ONLY person who may control those documents in private spaces is a sitting US President. What this implies to me is that the most likely way for Joe Biden to have gotten his hands on classified documents in a place where there was reasonable opportunity for him to surreptitiously gain possession of them, was the Oval Office, under either or both of Clinton and Obama. (Note “surreptitious.” I don’t claim Clinton or Obama would have had to have known.)


Regarding Trump: He has one real and one superficial escape clause. The superficial escape is that every President takes a large volume of documents when leaving the White House, for the intended purpose of having curators evaluate them for inclusion in a planned Presidential library. It is inevitable that some classified documents will be among those retained in the President’s possession while in office and will be inadvertently (or intentionally) removed during clean-out/departure. It is a virtual certainty that every President has been guilty of possessing classified documents after the final day of his term, but usually [*wink wink*] those are discovered by curators and handed over to the National Archives where there are SCIFs (Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities.)


The [*wink *wink] is the superficial escape clause derived from the traditional overlooking of these [*wink *wink] inadvertent short-term crimes.


Trump’s “real” escape clause MAY [*wink *wink] require that Trump be untruthful. As long as he was President — until the very moment that Joe Biden told John Roberts “Mother may I?” — he had the unchallengeable authority to classify or declassify ANY document(s). All he has to do now is say that before removing any documents from the White House he declassified them. No one can conclusively dispute him.


As I understand it, doing so does not declassify any existing copies of those documents, or other documents containing the same or similar information, but declassifies all those copies in his possession. Doing so would make all documents declassified in that manner that are or were in his possession at Mar-a-Lago or elsewhere, entirely within his lawful ability to hold.

LCN Opinin’ 026 – Macaque Mentality on AI and the Job Market

https://libertyclick.news/2023/03/04/lcn-opinin-026-ai-and-the-job-market/

Posted on March 4, 2023 by Macaque Mentality

I’m going to write a little about the rise of social commerce, influencer marketing, and user generated content, and what this has to do with AI and the job market.

AI will continue to rapidly saturate traditional marketing and traditional digital marketing techniques, such as content marketing, consumer education, search engine optimization, etc. Most of these marketing techniques have already been commodified, so AI represents a second wave of commodification.


As this happens, social commerce, influencer marketing, and user generated content will continue to grow because it is based on relationship-building, rather than making deals. But the market will be inundated with platforms and AI tech that facilitates relationship-building until the market becomes well-understood. Fortunately, relationship-building cannot be fully commodified, but the market will do its best to use AI tech to make social marketing efficient over the next 5-15 years or so.


Why do I keep highlighting commodification? As the market becomes more commodified and pricing marketing spend becomes more efficient, three things will happen. First, the low-end market will atomize into countless tiny agencies fighting with each other to survive, trying to build relationships with up-and-coming nano- and micro-influencers. Second, the mid-end market will be characterized by large platforms developed by the major agencies that combine SaaS efficiency with sales-oriented customer service and faceless tech teams. Third, the kings of the high-end market, the major agencies, will continue to grow and rule the bespoke marketing campaigns with the two iron fists of sales: social proof and successful case studies.


So what does this have to do with AI? The marketing sphere isn’t the only place in which these types of changes will occur. I’m trying to demonstrate that AI tech, at least for the next 5-15 years, has clear boundaries which we can navigate until the real pain starts happening. Everyone, not just the entrepreneurial out there, would do well to explore these areas for a number of reasons:


1. These are the spaces where one will actually be able to bootstrap an operation with a low budget, because they can reliably find an edge/moat that you can leverage.
2. If a team successfully breaks into the space, these are the areas where they can use their experience to reach and compete at the cutting edge of this space. Why is this important? You can be reasonably sure that you will have more data on your market than any new team trying to break into the field after you.
3. Which means that these are the areas in which the team (now a working startup) will be able to leverage this data to develop their own industry-specific AI that will streamline business operations.
4. Which means that this team will be most able to commodify the market and develop platforms as the market grows.


I can’t stress enough that this isn’t just for the entrepreneurial. If you are in a sector that is being streamlined, you need a reliable schema with which you can make future career decisions, to join a team with the highest likelihood of success. I am well aware that my prior advice of “be the top 1% of your sector” simply isn’t that useful. So I’d like to go further and help people answer the following question: “Which sectors will afford me good upward mobility while minimizing my chances of being replaced by AI and platforms?”

Last I checked you weren't a mod and the mods don't seem to share your opinion.
I also don't think you are authorized to drive people off the site with insults.

It seems to me like you are making an assumption about me and I don't have enough context to know what it is you are assuming. I made this site before I met swordsmith and have never met him IRL - does that answer your question? I'm just making a website here.

See the ChatGPT thread about intuition ;)
