“Democracy is at risk. Freedom is at risk,” he told attendees of a webinar Thursday.
“Democracy doesn’t live on automatic pilot. You don’t take a DNA test to see if you believe in freedom,” he added. “Freedom and democracy are taught, and teaching is a conscious act, and that’s what our judges do.”
Kennedy delivered the remarks during the latest edition of Speak Up for Justice, a nonpartisan effort and virtual forum to advocate for upholding and protecting the authority of the judiciary. Joined by other American judges as well as judges from Poland, South Africa and Venezuela, Kennedy — who retired from the bench during the first Trump presidency in 2018 — cautioned that the political polarization and erosion of the judiciary’s integrity pose a threat to freedom and democracy in the United States.
You gave up your seat so the fascist could install an ideologue drunkard and ruin this country for decades.
Getting real fuckin sick of the people most responsible for this mess claiming it’s now on us to clean it up.
Thanks, in large part to…the Supreme Court.
Indifference is what Americans do best
My anger at that insinuation is only surpassed by my apathy!

You ok there buddy? Having some memory (access) issues?
I put that in search and I got nothing. Can you tell what kind of bot that is from what it’s doing?

Not entirely certain. It looks like maybe it is trying to print a raw string / string literal.
If there were more outputs, could tell if it’s a structure or just garbage. I’m leaning towards the latter.I suspect that it’s hit a bug related to memory access timing (race condition) or addressing (seg fault or similar). That is, it may be trying to read raw values of at a memory location, before the intended data has been written there (or at the same time that another part of the program is trying to write to it). Or, attempting to read from a memory address that it’s not supposed to.That said, the string does kinda look like a structured format, potentially for an address but… I’d expect it to start or end with “0x” or “x0” (hexadecimal or backwards hex) and,if it were a conventional, modern memory address, there should be 32, 48, or 64 bits. “d55555” would be 24 bits.While writing this out, I discovered something interesting. OpenCL has 24-bit multiplication (apparently, it is me efficient for some things). And OpenCL is often used for GPU acceleration of drumroll llama.cpp. I think we have a winner. The bot likely was trying to get text from using an LLM and either read the wrong memory address or the right address at the wrong time.
Wow, thanks for looking into it and trying to figure it out. You may not be able to tell, but do you think it was trying to respond like a normal user or just posted by accident?
My suspicion would be that it was attempting to respond like a normal user but hit a bug.
And no worries! It was fun to try to puzzle out what it was doing.
Again, thanks. I’ll pass this on to the instance mods to see if there are patterns for others.
