Could you please respond to this comment ?:



'I do appreciate the thinking big and demanding more, but I really don't think the Dems are going to do anything of the kind until we force them to. And if that does happen, I think AI will have very little to do with it. It's somewhere between a parrot and an extra set of trained eyes. A gimmick

'This is an interesting perspective, and it raises some important points about the role of technology and political action. Let's break down the comment.

​"Dems aren't going to do anything... until we force them to."

​This part of the comment speaks to the idea that political change often comes from pressure from the public, not from politicians acting on their own. This is a common and often accurate observation. Historically, major shifts in policy on things like civil rights, environmental protection, and workers' rights were the result of sustained grassroots movements and public demand. It suggests that the real power for change lies with the people, not in the halls of government.

​"AI will have very little to do with it. It's somewhere between a parrot and an extra set of trained eyes. A gimmick."

​This is a skeptical view of AI's potential, framing it as a tool that is limited in scope. The "parrot" metaphor highlights the idea that AI can repeat information but not truly understand or create anything new. The "extra set of trained eyes" suggests that AI is good for analysis and finding patterns but lacks independent thought or the ability to drive action.

​The key disagreement here is about AI's potential role. While it's true that AI is not a magical solution that will force politicians to act, it could be a powerful tool for the very grassroots movements that do create change. For example, AI could be used to:

  • ​Analyze large datasets to identify voting trends or the impact of specific policies on communities.
  • ​Improve communication by helping organizers draft more effective messages and reach specific audiences.
  • ​Coordinate volunteers by optimizing schedules and tasks for political campaigns or social movements.

​While AI isn't a substitute for human action, it could be a powerful amplifier. So while it won't be the force that makes change, it could be the force that helps people organize and apply pressure more effectively.

​Ultimately, the comment brings up a crucial point: no matter how advanced technology becomes, it's the actions of people that shape society and drive political change. Technology is just a tool, and its impact depends entirely on how we choose to use it.'

Audio report Roger : - NY Times  April 30th, 2006 ' Give Them Liberty, and a Family Atmosphere' ​So I found out something neat about Brodie Ski Area in New Ashford that I believe is okay to tell now. Though in conjunction with something else I once told, it might be unsafe to tell. Since hell is coming anyway, I will just tell it. ​In the 1970s, I used to wake up at 2:00-3:00 AM hearing this big-ass truck going south while taking up both lanes in a convoy on Water Street / Green River Rd. It was going about 2 MPH.  Because Dad was a police dispatcher, he told me it was the nuclear waste truck from Rowe Yankee. But all these years I wondered why it would go down Green River Rd. As far as we knew, studying environmental science in the 1980s and 1990s, there was no place to store spent nuclear fuel safely. The old Wiscasset nuclear plant in Maine still has its nuclear waste stored in its parking lot. -  Gen X Movies ​I looked up where they took the Rowe nuclear waste online...

Hello From Venus

  Sunday, June 2, 2024  Posted this to a Rolling Stone article on FB about a member of the US State Dept who had inspired a Neil Young song: Spent years trying to find out what happened to me and about 3 weeks ago I found out. Former ambassador Kurt Tong's favorite song was Rockin' in the Freeworld . The Atlas missile system was the first US ICBM. The Atlas rocket was the first to go to Mars, Jupiter, Mercury and Venus , with the Mariner space program and Pioneer 10 space program. Kurt called once after Dave did when I was living with Dorothy in Florida. It kind of creeped me out a little, because Kurt had never called me before, and I was afraid something might be wrong with Dad. But he was OK. I believe I wrote the words to this other song below about a week after I talked to Dad because they asked me to call him. It was Judy's favorite song. Judy had a dream when she was camping out at Blue's cabin about a man telling her she had to leave who was wearing a green a...

100 Years

  For me, I recall writing a poem about looking back over the years of my life when I was in my 30s. I was living in my cabin on the St Pete Clearwater border off 9th Street. I recall thinking about the ride back from a club with Cathy driving her Pontiac Sunbird like a professional racecar driver - she was an amazing driver ! I had thought about that night a lot and I thought I had figured out it had been in 1986, but it must have been the summer and fall of 1985 when I met Cathy. I would estimate when I believe I wrote the poem at the mid 1990s. 'The sea is high...' The tide affected my camp which would flood when it was high with a full moon. 100 Years I'm 15 for a moment Caught in between 10 and 20 And I'm just dreaming Counting the ways to where you are I'm 22 for a moment She feels better than ever And we're on fire Making our way back from Mars 15 there's still time for you Time to buy and time to lose 15, there's never a wish better than this Whe...
