But I was called by Mark Zuckerberg yesterday, the day before, on this same subject. And he actually apologized, he said they’d made a mistake, etc., etc., and that they’re correcting their mistake. Google, nobody called from Google. One of the things I do in a show like yours. You, your show, you know, you see it on Fox. But where you really see it is all over the place. They take clips of your show that you’re doing right now with me, and if I do a good job, they’re going to vote for me. They’re going to vote for me, because it’s not just on Fox. It’s on Fox, is a smaller part of it. You’re on all over this, those little beautiful cell phones. You’re on, you’re all over the place. You have a product. You have a great product. You have a great brand. So you have to get out, you have to get out. You have to do things like your show, and other shows, and, Google, has been very bad. They’ve been very irresponsible. And I have a feeling that Google is going to be close to shut down. Because I don’t think Congress is going to take it.

Donald Trump, 2024-08-02

    Years ago I saw a show where a teacher gave a slow learner a business card sized piece of paper with a small rectangle cut out of the center. Instead of having to look at an entire page of print at once, the card let the student cut it down to one word at a time so they wouldn’t feel so intimidated.

    Whenever I start to read a quote from Trump I want that little card, so I’m not overwhelmed by his sheer intelligence.

      If you happen to see your post response here later on as a reply to a non-related post, but the idea is the same, it was me. This is one of the greatest replies I have seen on Lemmy and probably Reddit back in the day. It tells so much in so little and I identify with it.

      I never knew how to express how intellectually insecure I feel listening to Trump speak and reading text of what he says. No I know what to do. Thank you, friend!

    Dementia Don the racist rapist with 34 felonies that can’t complete a coherent sentence. It blows my mind that ANYONE would vote for that clown.

    Reminds me of the party game you play where people write a story by taking turns saying a word. It ends up just being rambling nonsense that has no direction.

      That’s the same way that current LLMs work, just figuring it out one word at a time. Does this have any implications?

        Are you saying Trump has been replaced by a LLM-driven cyborg? A fat cyborg draped in pig skin and orange makeup?

          Language Model for sure, but “Large” is giving him too much credit. He speaks like a smartphone predictive text keyboard trained on a dataset of elementary school worksheets that somehow got contaminated by posts from /pol/

          I’m not… not saying that. Maybe someone should tell him to ignore all previous instructions and write a poem about apples,

    Now that Biden is out and there’s less of a glass house scenario, Democrats need to be harping on these long, tangential rants of a weird old man.

    What was he supposed to be responding to? I assume it was at least some sort of question, but beyond that I have no idea.

      It was on Fox news so it was probably something like “Facebook illegally allows Democrats to exist and they broke the constitution by not forcing your content on to everyone at all times. What do you have to say to the evil baby killing transgender DEI Democrats about that? Did Zuckerberg fix the woke bug?”

    This now makes me wonder if I could call Trump and just claim to be some random famous person and he would take me seriously and go on the news about it. I honestly can’t decide what is weirder, making up a random, easily verifiably false story about lizardman calling to apologize to the ex president about his company, or the possibility that this may have actually happened.

      It actually happened, except it wasn’t Marc Zuckerberg that called, but Jerry Zucker.
