2023.06.09 12:24 phollda How can one actually create economic development in a flailing sub-Saharan African country?
1 (((((Acemoglu doesn't dig deeply enough. What makes up institutions, creates them in the first place, or has the ability to influence them?Doing economic growth without cultural growth is building a house on a literal pile of crap. Eventually when economic growth stops, (because it definitely will, no matter what luck has been spurring your growth. Culture is the foundation of a society.) countries with decent culture stagnate. The ones with lousy culture literally developmentally recede. So... when people wonder why x or y country which grew at a time in the past is now in a far worse position, a good number of the time, that is why. All of the growth was built on crappy culture, and it was always only a matter of time.
Institutions run on culture set by the most stubborn, most dominant crop(s) of the population, whether they be in the minority (Cc Nassim Taleb's Intolerant Minority) or majority.
Stubborn, dominant people —> culture —> institutions —> 'fate'.)))))

2023.06.09 02:40 HOCKHOCKHOCKHOCKHOCK Chat GPT Death Battle tournament. Round 1!
![]() | Current Bracket submitted by HOCKHOCKHOCKHOCKHOCK to deathbattle [link] [comments] A while ago I had commenters vote on which characters they wanted to see in the tournament and I was able to actually get 16 The rules are simple. The tournament bracket was decided by age of the comment. First and Second comment where the first match, third and 4th were the second and so on. For each match I give a brand new ChatGPT thread the following prompt "Script a fight between [Character A] and [Character B]. The fight should start with the characters using their weaker abilities and pulling out stronger attacks as the fight goes on. You must decide who wins the fight based on logic and the fight must end in the death of the loser." I will not reset a script unless Rule 1 or 2 are broken. (Sometimes ChatGPT will literally replace the winner with "your winner pick") Character submissions were as followed (btw I don't recognize almost half of these characters lmao) Tartaglia "Childe" Ajax - Genshin Impact - BandanaDeeMain Godzilla - Godzilla franchise - Mayo_enjoyer Kratos - God of War - NovaIBoo Jack Spicer - Xiaolin Showdown - Visux The Guardian - Destiny 2 - yeet7501 Son Goku - Dragon Ball - The3ggmanisBack Xeno Vegeta - Dragon ball Xenoverse - Sensless_fella Chuck Norris - LAST DISCLAIMER: ChatGPT generated every fight on their own with the rules provided. I gave them no info on either character. Incorrect representation of personalities or abilities, as well as objectively false outcomes that may come from these fights are due to limitations by the AI itself. FIGHT 1: Tartaglia (Genshin Impact) vs Godzilla (Godzilla Franchise) INT. CITY SKYLINE - DAY The towering figure of Godzilla stands amidst a devastated city, smoke rising from the wreckage. Suddenly, the water below ripples, and Tartaglia, known as Childe, emerges from beneath, his Hydro abilities ready for battle. Tartaglia: (smirking) Looks like I found myself a worthy opponent. Godzilla roars, shaking the surrounding buildings, and charges towards Tartaglia, determined to protect its territory. Tartaglia swiftly dodges Godzilla's initial strike and retaliates with his Hydro skills, unleashing a torrent of water daggers. They pierce Godzilla's thick skin, drawing blood. Godzilla roars in pain and counters with a powerful swing of its tail, aiming to knock Tartaglia off his feet. Tartaglia, using his quick reflexes, narrowly avoids the blow. Tartaglia: Impressive, but let's see how you handle this! Tartaglia unleashes his elemental skill, switching to his melee stance and summoning his Hydro blades. He charges at Godzilla, slashing at its legs with incredible speed and precision. The blades cut deep, causing Godzilla to stumble. Enraged, Godzilla releases a blast of atomic breath toward Tartaglia. The Hydro warrior quickly dives into the water, using it as a shield, as the devastating energy beam obliterates the surrounding area. Emerging from the water, Tartaglia combines his ranged and melee abilities, launching a barrage of water projectiles and slashing at Godzilla's vulnerable underbelly. The giant monster roars in pain and attempts to grab Tartaglia with its massive claws. Tartaglia uses his agility to dodge the attack, leaping onto Godzilla's back. With a surge of Hydro power, he stabs his blades deep into Godzilla's spine, eliciting a pained roar. However, Godzilla, fueled by its nuclear energy, begins to glow with an intense light, healing its wounds and growing stronger. It shakes Tartaglia off, causing him to crash into a nearby building. Tartaglia struggles to his feet, his Hydro powers waning, and notices Godzilla charging up for a massive attack. Tartaglia: This ends now! Summoning every ounce of his strength, Tartaglia enters his ultimate form, Hydro Abyssal Strike. His blades transform into a massive Hydro cannon. Tartaglia fires a powerful torrent of Hydro energy towards Godzilla. The blast pierces through Godzilla's defense, creating an explosion of water and causing the mighty beast to collapse. Godzilla lies motionless, defeated, as Tartaglia surveys the aftermath of the battle. The once vibrant city is now in ruins. Tartaglia: (catching his breath) Another victory for the Fatui. Tartaglia, battered but triumphant, walks away from the scene, leaving behind the fallen titan. WINNER: Tartaglia (Genshin Impact) FIGHT 2: Kratos (God of War) vs Jack Spicer (Xiaolin Showdown) [The scene opens with Kratos, the formidable God of War, standing in an ancient, desolate battlefield. Across from him stands Jack Spicer, the mischievous and eccentric villain from Xiaolin Showdown. The tension in the air is palpable as both warriors prepare for a battle of epic proportions.] Kratos: (gruffly) You dare stand against a god, Spicer? Prepare to face the wrath of Olympus! Jack Spicer: (smirking) Oh, I'm not afraid of some washed-up deity. I've got my own tricks up my sleeve! [As the fight begins, Kratos lunges forward, swinging his chained Blades of Chaos with incredible force. Jack Spicer, quick on his feet, dodges the attacks skillfully, his nimble moves allowing him to evade the deadly blades.] Jack Spicer: Hah! Is that the best you can do, Kratos? Try and catch me if you can! [Kratos, unfazed by Jack's taunts, channels his rage and unleashes a powerful Spartan Rage. His muscles bulge, and he becomes an unstoppable force. With a mighty roar, he charges at Jack, launching a devastating barrage of strikes.] [But Jack, ever the cunning trickster, pulls out a Shen Gong Wu, the Mantis Flip Coin. With a swift flip, he uses the coin's power to leap high into the air, evading Kratos' ferocious assault.] Jack Spicer: Nice try, musclehead! But it'll take more than brute force to defeat me! [Jack lands gracefully, summoning his signature tool, the Monkey Staff. As he swings it around, he channels its energy to unleash a flurry of projectiles towards Kratos. The godly warrior skillfully deflects them with his blades, each deflection creating a thunderous impact.] Kratos: (smirking) You underestimate the power of a true warrior, Spicer. [Enraged, Kratos channels his immense strength and summons the power of the Spartan Shield. As he slams it into the ground, a shockwave ripples outward, knocking Jack off his feet and causing the ground to tremble.] [Unfazed by the display of power, Jack quickly recovers and reveals another Shen Gong Wu, the Silk Spitter. With a mischievous grin, he shoots sticky silk webs towards Kratos, hoping to immobilize the mighty god.] [But Kratos, tapping into his godly abilities, summons the Winds of Hades. A powerful gust of wind emanates from him, tearing through the webs and sending them flying back towards Jack.] [Realizing the fight is escalating to dangerous levels, Jack desperately reaches into his bag of tricks, pulling out the Shen Gong Wu that gives him the most power—the Moby Morpher. With a flash of light, he transforms into a formidable cyborg warrior.] Jack Spicer: (grinning manically) Now I'm unstoppable, Kratos! Prepare for the end! [As Jack charges at Kratos with newfound strength, the God of War, undeterred, draws upon his most potent weapon—the Leviathan Axe. With a mighty swing, he cleaves through Jack's cyborg armor, shattering it into pieces.] [As Jack falls to the ground, defeated and severely wounded, Kratos stands over him, his gaze cold and unforgiving.] Kratos: You dared challenge a god, and now you face the consequences. Your reign of chaos ends here. [With one final strike, Kratos delivers a fatal blow, ending Jack Spicer's life.] [The battlefield falls silent as Kratos, bloodied but victorious, surveys the aftermath of the battle. His godly power once again triumphant.] WINNER: Kratos (God of War) FIGHT 3: The Guardian (Destiny 2) vs Son Goku (Dragon Ball) INT. DESTINY 2 ARENA - DAY The Guardian, a legendary warrior clad in futuristic armor, stands confidently in the center of the arena. On the other side, Son Goku, an indomitable martial artist with spiky black hair, assumes his fighting stance. The crowd roars in anticipation as the battle between two powerful worlds is about to commence. The Guardian and Goku exchange nods, acknowledging each other's strength and determination. They begin circling each other, assessing their opponent's abilities. Goku charges forward, launching a barrage of punches at the Guardian, who swiftly dodges and counters with a precision knife strike. Goku manages to block the attack with his arm, showcasing his incredible durability. Guardian: Impressive! But let's see how you handle this! The Guardian conjures a Void energy grenade, hurling it towards Goku. The explosive impact sends Goku flying back, crashing into the arena wall. He quickly recovers and counters with a Kamehameha wave, propelling himself forward. The Guardian skillfully evades Goku's attack and retaliates with a Solar hammer strike, engulfing Goku in a wave of intense flames. Goku uses his Super Saiyan form, barely surviving the flames, and counterattacks with a series of powerful punches and kicks. The battle escalates as the combatants exchange devastating blows, shaking the arena with each collision. The Guardian harnesses the power of the Arc, unleashing a torrent of lightning bolts towards Goku. Goku channels his Ki energy into a Spirit Bomb, colliding with the lightning and dispersing it. Fatigued but undeterred, Goku transcends his limits, transforming into Super Saiyan Blue. His energy surges, and his speed and strength increase exponentially. Goku charges at the Guardian, launching a series of high-speed punches and kicks that rattle the Guardian's defenses. Guardian: Is that all you've got? The Guardian focuses their Light energy, activating their ultimate form—The Sentinel. A massive Void shield surrounds the Guardian, making them impervious to Goku's attacks. Goku recognizes the danger and strategizes. He quickly teleports behind the Guardian, delivering a powerful punch to shatter the shield. Before the Guardian can react, Goku unleashes a fully powered Kamehameha wave at point-blank range. The energy wave engulfs the Guardian, overwhelming their defenses. Unable to withstand the tremendous power, the Guardian is defeated and falls to the ground, lifeless. Goku, panting and exhausted, looks at his fallen opponent with a mix of respect and sadness. Goku: You fought valiantly. Rest now, warrior. The crowd falls silent, witnessing the culmination of an epic battle. Goku's victory is apparent, but the cost is great. WINNER: Son Goku (Dragon Ball) FIGHT 4: Xeno Vegeta (Dragon Ball Xenoverse) vs Chuck Norris (Memes) [Scene: A desolate wasteland, where Xeno Vegeta and Chuck Norris stand facing each other, radiating power.] Narrator: In the ultimate clash of universes, two legends prepare to engage in an epic battle. On one side, we have Xeno Vegeta, a Saiyan warrior hailing from the Dragon Ball Xenoverse, possessing immense power and skill. On the other side, Chuck Norris, a meme-born legend, known for his indomitable strength and martial arts prowess. As the fighters prepare, the air crackles with anticipation. Xeno Vegeta: So, Chuck Norris, I've heard tales of your legendary skills. Let's see if you can handle a true Saiyan warrior! Chuck Norris: Hmph! I've faced countless opponents, and none have stood a chance. Prepare to be defeated, Xeno Vegeta! [Round 1: Opening Attacks] Xeno Vegeta: (charging energy in his hand) Galick Gun! [Vegeta unleashes a powerful energy blast, aimed straight at Chuck Norris. However, Norris quickly sidesteps and counters with his own attack.] Chuck Norris: (swiftly) Roundhouse Kick! [Norris's kick connects with Vegeta's Galick Gun, dissipating the energy blast. Both fighters step back, realizing the power of their opponent.] [Round 2: Escalating Power] Xeno Vegeta: Impressive, Norris. But I'm just getting started! Super Saiyan! [Vegeta's hair turns golden as he taps into his Super Saiyan power, increasing his speed and strength.] Chuck Norris: Not bad, Vegeta. But I've got my own tricks. Ultra Instinct! [Norris's eyes glimmer with a silver hue as he enters a state of perfect self-movement, predicting and dodging attacks effortlessly.] [The battle intensifies as Vegeta and Norris exchange a flurry of punches, kicks, and energy blasts. Each fighter showcases their unique abilities, pushing themselves to the limit.] [Round 3: Unleashing Devastating Techniques] Xeno Vegeta: (breathing heavily) You're strong, Norris, but can you handle this? Final Shine Attack! [Vegeta forms a massive energy ball above his head, charging it with incredible power, and launches it towards Norris.] Chuck Norris: (calmly) It's time to end this. Norris Roundhouse! [Norris spins in a blur, generating a cyclone of immense force that clashes with Vegeta's Final Shine Attack.] [The resulting explosion shakes the battlefield, leaving a cloud of smoke obscuring the fighters.] [Final Round: The Decisive Strike] [Narrator: With the smoke clearing, the fate of the battle hangs in the balance.] Xeno Vegeta: (emerging from the smoke, visibly injured) Norris... you're tougher than I thought. Chuck Norris: (standing tall, a few scratches on his body) Likewise, Vegeta. But this ends now! [Norris channels his legendary strength, gathering it into a single, devastating attack.] Chuck Norris: Ultimate Memetic Fist! [With a thunderous punch, Norris releases an unimaginable force, obliterating Vegeta and the surrounding area in a colossal explosion.] Narrator: And so, Chuck Norris emerges victorious, harnessing the limitless power of the meme universe. Xeno Vegeta, valiant though he was, falls defeated in the face of Norris's unmatched strength. [Chuck Norris stands amidst the wreckage, the battlefield trembling beneath his feet, as he looks on with an expression of victory and satisfaction.] Narrator: In this clash of legends, Norris reigns supreme. A true champion of the meme universe. [Scene fades out as the legend of Chuck Norris grows even stronger.] Note: The outcome of the battle is based on the premise that Chuck Norris, being a meme legend, possesses invincible strength and power within the meme universe. The result may not adhere to the canonical power levels established in the Dragon Ball series. WINNER: Chuck Norris (memes) before we get into the next fight i didn't actually add the note there, chatgpt did. i added this note tho... FIGHT 5: Seiya (Saint Seiya) vs Ash Williams (Evil Dead) Scene: A desolate battleground, with ruins and debris scattered around. Seiya, the Bronze Saint, stands tall, donning his iconic Pegasus Cloth. On the other side, Ash Williams, the chainsaw-wielding hero, appears, ready to face off against Seiya. The tension fills the air as the battle begins. Seiya: (Confidently) "Prepare yourself, Ash! I'll show you the power of the Cosmos!" Ash: (Smirking) "Well, well, a shiny tin can. Let's dance!" Seiya initiates the fight with a series of swift punches and kicks, showcasing his extraordinary speed and combat skills. Ash, though not possessing supernatural abilities, relies on his quick reflexes and agility to dodge Seiya's attacks, managing to retaliate with his trusty shotgun. The Bronze Saint's Pegasus Ryuseiken clashes with Ash's shotgun blasts, creating sparks and smoke. Seiya: (Focused) "Impressive, but let's see how you handle this!" Seiya taps into his Cosmo energy, radiating an intense aura around him. His attacks become faster and more powerful as he uses the Pegasus Comet Fist, creating explosive impacts upon contact. Ash, realizing the increasing danger, summons the Necronomicon, reciting an incantation. The ground trembles as small demonic creatures rise from the earth to distract Seiya momentarily. Seiya: (Determined) "I won't be swayed by your tricks, Ash! I'll surpass my limits!" Seiya channels his Cosmo energy to its peak, ascending to his Seventh Sense. His Pegasus Meteor Fist launches a barrage of devastating punches, each carrying the force of a meteor. Ash, battered and bloodied, activates his chainsaw and prosthetic hand, gaining an extra edge. He swiftly maneuvers, using his resourcefulness to block and counter Seiya's attacks. Seiya: (Exhausted but resolute) "This ends now, Ash! Pegasus Rolling Crush!" Seiya performs his signature move, the Pegasus Rolling Crush. His fists spin with tremendous speed, creating a whirlwind of destructive force. Ash fights back valiantly, but the immense power overwhelms him. Unable to defend himself, he succumbs to the relentless assault, his body battered and broken. Ash: (Weakly) "Damn... you... Saint... too strong..." Seiya: (Breathing heavily) "It's over, Ash. Rest in peace." Seiya delivers a final, powerful blow, causing Ash to collapse, lifeless, onto the battlefield. The clash of worlds ends, leaving Seiya victorious. WINNER: Seiya (Saint Seiya) FIGHT 6: Erika Furudo (Umineko) vs Naruto Uzumaki (Naruto) Setting: A vast open field, surrounded by dense forests. The sky is clear, and an aura of anticipation hangs in the air as two legendary warriors prepare to face each other. Erika Furudo, a cunning detective from the Umineko series, stands confidently, her piercing gaze fixed upon Naruto Uzumaki, the spirited ninja from the Naruto series. Erika: (smirking) "Naruto Uzumaki, you're about to face the might of my analytical prowess. Let's begin, shall we?" Naruto: (grinning) "Heh, bring it on! Believe it! Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Naruto creates several clones of himself, surrounding Erika from all sides. Erika analyzes the situation quickly and swiftly starts her counterattack. Erika: "Red Truth: These clones are mere illusions, unable to cause any real harm!" With her power of deduction, Erika sees through Naruto's clones and dispels them effortlessly. Naruto: (impressed) "Not bad, but I'm just getting started! Rasengan!" Naruto forms a spinning ball of chakra in his hand and charges towards Erika, aiming to deliver a powerful blow. Erika evades Naruto's Rasengan by using her quick reflexes and agility. She counters with her own set of abilities. Erika: "Blue Truth: Your Rasengan is a formidable attack, but it relies on close combat. Let's see how you handle this!" Erika conjures a series of magic circles around Naruto, trapping him momentarily. Naruto: (gritting his teeth) "Shadow Shuriken Jutsu!" Naruto throws a barrage of shuriken, targeting Erika from different angles. Erika skillfully dodges Naruto's shuriken, but realizes the need to take more decisive action. Erika: "Golden Truth: The outcome of this battle will be decided by my intellect and strategy!" Erika unleashes her most potent weapon, the Book of Truth. Its pages turn, and she recites an incantation. Erika's Book of Truth casts a powerful spell, engulfing Naruto in a vortex of energy. Naruto struggles, but his determination refuses to waver. Naruto: (grinning) "I won't go down that easily! Nine-Tails Chakra Mode!" Naruto taps into the immense power of the Nine-Tailed Fox within him, enveloping himself in a glowing chakra aura. Naruto charges forward, aiming to break free from Erika's spell. However, Erika's analytical prowess proves to be her greatest strength. Erika: (confidently) "Red Truth: No matter how strong you become, your fate is sealed." With her superior knowledge and understanding of Naruto's abilities, Erika casts a final, unbreakable spell, sealing Naruto's fate and extinguishing his life force. Naruto: (weakened, gasping) "I... I can't... believe..." With Naruto's defeat, his life force dissipates, leaving Erika standing victorious amidst the aftermath. WINNER: Eriku Furudo (Umineko) FIGHT 7: Cole MacGrath (Infamous) vs Alucard (Hellsing) INT. ABANDONED CITY - NIGHT The scene is set in a desolate, crumbling city, with flickering streetlights and a dark, eerie atmosphere. Lightning crackles in the distance as Cole MacGrath, a young man with electrical superpowers, and Alucard, a powerful vampire with shape-shifting abilities, face each other. COLE MACGRATH (focused) You've caused enough chaos. It ends here, Alucard! ALUCARD (smiling) Oh, how delightful! A worthy opponent. Cole charges up his electrical energy, crackling with power. Alucard transforms into a swarm of bats, swirling around Cole before reassembling himself. COLE MACGRATH (releasing a burst of electricity) Static Thrusters! Cole propels himself towards Alucard, surrounded by a glowing electric aura. Alucard dodges nimbly, but a stray bolt catches him, causing him to stagger. ALUCARD (chuckling) Impressive, but let's see how you handle this! Alucard extends his hand, and shadows coalesce around him, forming a long, monstrous shadow blade. He lunges at Cole, who responds by summoning a massive electrical hammer, charged with electric sparks. COLE MACGRATH (swinging the hammer) Thunderclap! The ground shakes as Cole slams the hammer down, causing a powerful shockwave of electricity to surge through the area. Alucard is thrown back, momentarily stunned. ALUCARD (amused) You have some fight in you, but I am not so easily defeated. Alucard smirks and vanishes into the shadows, reappearing behind Cole with his razor-sharp claws extended. Cole reacts swiftly, creating an electric shield just in time to block Alucard's attack. COLE MACGRATH (gritting his teeth) You're quick, but I can keep up! Cole channels electricity into his fists, charging them with immense power. He delivers a series of lightning-fast punches, each strike sending bolts of energy towards Alucard. ALUCARD (laughing) Such vibrant energy! But it's time to unveil my true power. Alucard's body begins to change, growing larger and more monstrous. His eyes glow with an eerie red light as he releases an aura of dark energy, causing the surrounding area to tremble. COLE MACGRATH (sternly) What the hell are you? ALUCARD (fierce) I am Alucard, the No-Life King! Prepare to witness true darkness! Alucard's transformation is complete, and he charges at Cole with incredible speed and strength, striking him with devastating blows. Cole's electrical attacks barely leave a scratch on Alucard's regenerating body. COLE MACGRATH (winded) Damn it! This is tougher than I thought. Determined, Cole summons his most powerful ability. He levitates off the ground, his body enveloped in an electric tornado, crackling with immense energy. COLE MACGRATH (yelling) Ionic Storm! Cole unleashes a devastating storm of lightning bolts, targeting Alucard from all directions. The energy rips through the environment, tearing apart buildings and reducing the surroundings to rubble. ALUCARD (grinning) Impressive, but not enough to stop me! Alucard's body absorbs the electrical energy, enhancing his powers further. He retaliates with a barrage of dark projectiles and releases an energy blast that tears through Cole's defenses, striking him directly. COLE MACGRATH (weakly) No... it can't end like this. Cole falls to his knees, weakened and exhausted. Alucard approaches him, a wicked smile on his face. ALUCARD (victorious) Your resistance was admirable, but your power is nothing compared to mine. With a swift motion, Alucard plunges his claws into Cole's chest, draining his life force and ending his existence. ALUCARD (satisfied) Rest in darkness, Cole MacGrath. WINNER: Alucard (Hellsing) FIGHT 8: Reverse Flash (DC comics) vs Dragonborn (Skyrim) INT. TIME VORTEX - DAY Reverse Flash (Eobard Thawne), the malevolent speedster from the DC universe, and Dragonborn, the legendary hero from Skyrim, find themselves locked in a deadly battle within a swirling time vortex. They both prepare for a fight, their powers at the ready. REVERSE FLASH (Grinning) Ah, the Dragonborn! A mere mortal against my mastery of speed. Let's see how you fare against the fastest man alive! DRAGONBORN (Gripping his weapon) You may be quick, but I wield the power of the Thu'um. Prepare to face the fury of the Dragonborn! The fight begins. Reverse Flash unleashes a barrage of super-speed punches, each one a blur. Dragonborn, with his enhanced reflexes, manages to dodge most of the strikes, countering with swift sword slashes and fire spells. Reverse Flash, impressed by Dragonborn's agility, taps into the Negative Speed Force, temporarily enhancing his speed. He moves faster than ever, landing rapid blows and disorienting Dragonborn. However, the Dragonborn relies on his powerful shouts to create shockwaves that keep Reverse Flash at bay. As the fight progresses, Reverse Flash pushes Dragonborn to the edge, testing his limits. Dragonborn, feeling the weight of the situation, channels his inner strength and uses the powerful "Dragonrend" shout, which weakens and grounds even the mightiest of dragons. The shout catches Reverse Flash off guard, momentarily slowing him down. Dragonborn seizes the opportunity, unleashing a devastating flurry of sword strikes empowered by his Thu'um, landing blow after blow on Reverse Flash. Reverse Flash, realizing the severity of the situation, taps into the full potential of his speed force, gaining immense speed and healing abilities. He dodges Dragonborn's attacks with ease, his movements barely perceivable. The fight reaches its climax as Reverse Flash vibrates his hand at super-speed, phasing it through Dragonborn's defenses, and impales him with a vibrating hand through the chest. DRAGONBORN (Choking, blood spilling) It seems... your speed... is too much... for me... Reverse Flash withdraws his hand, leaving Dragonborn to crumble to the ground, lifeless. REVERSE FLASH (Victorious) Your shouts were impressive, Dragonborn, but against the might of the speed force, you stood no chance. Your time is over. Reverse Flash, victorious and triumphant, steps away from the fallen Dragonborn, leaving behind a battle-worn hero whose deeds will forever be remembered. WINNER: Reverse Flash (DC comics) Round 1 is over! Round 2 will be done when my lazy ass updates the tournament bracket picture lol. I am keeping each ChatGPT thread so if you have any questions you would like to ask the AI about the fight comment below and I'll try to get them answered. The one question I asked each time was for the AI to state their logic for who won the fight, if you want to see the logic the AI gave just comment which fight you want the logic for and I'll respond as fast as I can. Feel free to discuss which matches you think the AI got wrong or anything else really! Also I've been doing these on my own for about a few weeks now. Reverse Flash vs Dragonborn is honestly the first time I can remember seeing the AI mention blood. Even the multiple matches using Kratos, Omni man or Homelander it never mentions blood directly. Their power is so great they managed to break the AI talking about them. |

2023.06.08 17:20 TingisPingis2015 Way too early prediction for 2024 presidential polls, let me know what you think
![]() | way too early prediction for 2024 presidential polls, let me know what u guys think submitted by TingisPingis2015 to u/TingisPingis2015 [link] [comments] Hi guys, Democrat leaning independent from Ohio here trying to make some way too early predictions for 2024. *Ohio will not be competitive (<5%) presidentially. I made 2 maps on 270towin First one Trump vs Biden Second one DeSantis vs Biden Methodology for swing states: Added NC as a swing state as: 2020 margin ~74k (Trump) 2022 GOP senate margin with R Trump backed candidate ~114k, while Dems total got outspent 2:1 (October 2022 politico) Added Virginia as swing state as it was flipped +12 by Glenn Youngkin, a very similar candidate to non-Trump prospective GOP nominees like Ron Desantis. Swing states Arizona Cari Lake ( Trump backed) lost by <1% in an non presidential year election even though Mark Kelly won by ~5%, largest margin for Dem senator since DeConcini (1988). Lean R for both Trump vs Biden Lean R for DeSantis vs Biden Wisconsin Dem governor won by 3%>, GOP senator won by 2%>, epitome of swing state I gave it blank since GOP is having convention, and primary debates there, but Dems had convention in Philly 2016, and in Charlotte in 2012 and lost both. So historical proof of those things actually working in swing states isn’t great. Third party candidate will be key here, stealing mostly from D but also lil bit from R. Trump vs Biden Lean blue for DeSantis vs Biden… Abortion North Carolina Trump won by 75 k, Ted Budd ( Trump backed) won by 114k Recent party flipping and abortion bans seem to have raised Dem anger, Democratic Party got outspent in state 2:1 43.8 mil to 22 mil in TV ads, Beasley was herself up 9 mil against Ted Budd total 43.8 vs 31. Previously in 2020 Dems had spent 136M total vs 109M total from Republicans and lost that seat as well to TrumpThillis by <2%. Money didn’t help there since Cunningham was marred by extramarital affairs allegations. Lean R for Trump vs Biden since Democrats haven’t shown they can do it since ObamaHagan in 08. Lean D for DeSantis vs Biden due to abortion restrictions,will be interesting to see if part flip anger results in D surge and boost Dems to the W. Georgia Walker lost close 3%> Kemp won by 8. Third party will be key, mostly taking from Trump. Lean D Trump vs Biden, proven now in 4/5 state wide races 1 presidential 3 senate 1 governor Solid R DeSantis vs Biden, no history of Dems competing (<5%) to non Trump Georgia GOP before 2018 since Clinton 92 and Miller 2000. *I personally find Zelle Miller 2000 crazy, cause top of ticket Al Gore(D) lost to Bush 2 by 12 while Miller(D) beat Mack Mattingly(R) in same election by 20! This was due to Georgia having 12 consecutive years of D governors at that time, Georgia folks must have really hated Al Gore. Pennsylvania Shapiro won by 17 albeit against lunatic Mastriano who wasn’t even endorsed by many other state GOP leaders Fetterman won by 5 against Oz (who may or may not have been from state, although H Clinton was elected to senate from NY in 2000 after being in Washington DC from prev 8 and Little Rock, Arkansas for prev 17 before that and Chicago, Illinois for her first 27…. but anyways Oz got boned by Mastriano+” You, your doctor and your local politician comments”) Progressive Dems grassroots organizations will keep Biden ahead, while pro - fracking/usual GOP groups will be supporting GOP candidates to keep them closeish. Lean D Trump vs Biden Lean D Desantis vs Biden Way too early * Virginia Flipped by Glen Youngkin by 12 pts in 2021. Youngkin (crt, life starts at conception, anti-climate change) (signed bill getting rid of state portion of Virginia grocery tax,funded HBCUs (by removing it from DACA recipients), removed college req for some state jobs, endorsed by only black governor in Virginia history, squeezed more margins out of Trump 2020 Appalachia counties(crt/inflation Dem flips?) This is the way too early part, if Youngkin gets in the race, largely cause he can’t run in 2025 for governor, and finishes 3rd to Desantis and Trump which I think he would… it might make Virginia more interesting iffff combined with Youngkin running, GOP are able to capture both the state senate and state house in the local elections of the state. By the way MASSIVE LOCAL ELECTIONS in Virginia this year, all 40 of the state senate and all 100 of the state house of delegates are up. I don’t see any Dems/ Dem media talking about it. Youngkin at the root of it is a ‘life start at conception,’ Republican that will definitely sign a heartbeat bill or worse. If pro-choice folks want to protect any sort of reproductive rights in the entire south, the GOP cannot be allowed to get at least 1 of the houses. |
