If you search the web for "draw a clock", what you get is a bunch of papers on diagnosing cognitive decline. The clocks the chatbots draw look just like the examples in those papers.

Democratic voters like candidates who advocate policies that Democratic voters like. It sounds like a tautology but somehow the Democratic Party machine says it's not true and we should nominate candidates who are Republicans with a smiley face pasted on, and when they keep losing they say it's because the candidates were not Republican-lite enough. Vote for candidates with policies you like. It's that simple. npub1jpq6a83gv20c5gg2tek63cwwdxl5r6fhkm4mcfpfapx9ljwvpwrq97jmde Jef Poskanzer @nprofile…604h Good rant, but when I got to this part I nearly injured myself in my haste to do it.
