<p class="MsoNormal">Sigh...their are a bunch of things about this thread...I just can'tness 4Chan started as a buliten board a long time ago- as far as I know it's mostly Anonymous talk for the collectives: PhpSec and Anoynouse for sure. I think the other
factions got booted off around 2012 or so for being to extreme even by their standards. LolSec for example had threatend peoples lifes wich while some in computer underground culture might think it'd be a good idea to beet the asterix star collon semi collon
out of people..they were willing at one point to go their and got thrown out. <o:p>

they took on ISIS(that one) ...<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I think generative learning (e.g. for deep fake videos) could capture Hendrix or Page. Studying the deviations from the likely governing equations could be interesting (and probably could be quantified) but it also just could be some
idiosyncratic bit of developmental history that means nothing. With governance, I want to get some evidence of the rough features of where they stand and how they are likely to act. I don't see it as relevant how they interact with their friends or their
children because I am not looking for a friend or a parent. In technical conversations, I don't see it as necessary to pre-approve or seek pre-approval to segue from topic to topic -- to know the discussants role.<br>

Hm. As shallow as I think Trump is, or as much as I think Warren is a gaming politician, I don't think any of it is (merely) a distraction. I'm rather fond of the concept of code switching (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code-switching" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code-switching</a>)
and it's extrapolation into other domains (e.g. <a href="https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/" target="_blank">
https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/</a>). It would be a stretch to believe in the Freudian Slip. But such things do have meaning and can help understand deeper layerings of messages.<br>
<br>
This is one of the reasons I'm saddened by the category of things that includes instant replay refereeing, hyper-realistic animated movies, deep fake videos, technically perfect guitar playing, etc. The very reasons I like Jimi Hendrix and Jimmy Page better
than Joe Satriani (or even Stevie Ray Vaughn) are those little *errors* where the implementation doesn't quite match whatever "governing equations" you might infer they're trying to implement. The kerfuffle about the Saints' loss is a symptom of our being
poised between the real and the fake.<br>
<br>
And to deny our political transition from newspaper/radio into TV, where any candidate must be somewhat telegenic would miss the social impacts of technology on politics (and every other social aspect of our lives).<br>
<br>
So, these are not distractions, at all. I'd claim they are indicators for deeper messages, waiting to be interpreted.<br>
