This politician is basically a Korean knockoff of Charlie Kirk.

In his 40s, touring the country "debating" college kids. Selling middle-school level economic arguments that appeal to online community addicts.

Basically a spokesman for the "I tell it like it is" crowd.


When did it become cool for full grown adults to start dunking on college kids?

What is that about? Why do they generally always target college kids for that kind of thing instead of, hell I don't know, nursing homes or construction sites?


The first rule of politics is that you don't want to get into fights with people who can beat you.

The second rule of it is that the right questions (have you stopped beating your wife?) can always be spun to make your opponent look like a complete idiot. Always control the framing of a situation.

The third rule of politics is that while intelligent people can see through charades #1 and #2, and if they aren't your target demographic, you don't need to give a shit about what they think.


which comes to the fourth rule of politics under democracy, which is that dumb, wrong, ignorant people each have one vote as well.


It's not like anyone is forcing the students to participate. If someone of voting age wants to engage someone on policy positions, then they accept the consequences. Likewise, if someone wants to engage with voters, then a college campus is a perfectly legitimate location.


Colleges are full of debating societies, chapters of political parties, and budding social activists. Politicians just go where there's an audience.


Colleges are [often] public property unlike all the rest of what they mentioned.

If you go with your own microphone you can shout out and shut down the competition and game your own youtube clips, while the competition can't trespass you from the property.

It's really the ultimate cheap shot.

You basically have to be a moron to debate someone like Charlie Kirk in the first place because the game is rigged; he has the table, the microphone, the editing, the security and if you object to the rules there's nothing you can do but walk away. The moment you get the upper hand he can simply kill the mic, stop recording, and move on to the next guy and all the meanwhile claiming he's doing it on neutral terrain.


We excel at things that look good on paper.


Average korean:

We just hope Americans realize some day that the world is not taking advantage of them like Trump wants them to believe.

Korea is very dependent on America but this is a mutually beneficial situation. We are their customers and they are ours. Except Korea is more desparate so the US can afford to rip us off or kill contracts whenever it feels like it. We are always thankful to UN allies and the US for freeing SK from NK but Americans are not here to save us. They are here to snoop into beijing and control the pacific ocean.


You don't understand. Americans elected a rapist. YOU are his next target.

Read Aesop's "The Wolf and the Lamb", and good luck.

They knew exactly what they were doing, and they will do it again.

If they don’t meet the minimum AI namedrop quota, Seocho Samsung HQ rejects the proposal.

Wow I just tried this and it's great!

I regularly paste papers into LLM interfaces but they all spit out generic non-helpful answers. Your app is the only one i've seen that actually helps me understand.

This is why, whenever I can, I call RLHF/DPO "sequence level calibration" instead of "alignment tuning".

Bun is amazing. It’s a life hack for me. Chatgpt doesnt know much about it so there’s some productivity hit but i love bun.


Same for me. I was in the “whats the point npm will have all these next year” camp. Finally tried bun and was blown away. Subtle things in DX add up. For my project Bun is so “next generation”.


Hmm.. if anybody feels the blunt force of failure it's them. But they feel it was a success so I believe it must have been. Also they don't need to cope now.
