[FRIAM] Joe Rogan interviewing Bernie Sanders.

[glen]

I applaud Bernie for talking to idiots like Rogan on a regular basis. But what does he actually think he's achieving? When your interlocutor is a memory-less LLM who takes zero responsibility for the sh¡t he says, will forget the last conversation, and engages in the most fantastical bullshit as if it were reasonable, what progress will Bernie make?

E.g. Drew does a good job of showing us Rogan's ... ahem ... commitment to reality:

Bernie can flap his gums at such idiots till the cows come home. But it won't do any good. The problem with communication is the illusion that it exists.
