So the A.I believes whoever generates more discussion, wins. A fame contest.

Huh? Where were they when Obama won for two terms? I know you didn't mention it directly, but I see the argument thrown out there that the White Trump supporters are THAT energized and they will turn up in droves like never before. If they didn't in 2008 or 2012 to stop the first Black president, I can't see it happening now. What's the difference? Hillary is just that bad? I don't buy it. On the flip side many people are energized to stop Trump from becoming president.

It may shock you but most white people are not racist.

But if Trump wins, then chances are the American Dollar is going to devalue, and us Europeans can finally buy the new MacBook Pros for reasonable prizes!

Then they won't vote for Trump either so who cares

But most are sexist? No sure where you're going with that. I think maybe you misread his post.

I didn't know the Trumpotron 9000 had already come online

What a flawed system. Look at the trump supporters on this site, I've seen two that aren't even American and can't vote

 

[jiping]

You're paying attention to a single national poll without looking at the broader picture, or electorate polling, which is far more accurate and in-depth than a single national poll. If you want to base something on a single poll, you definitely shouldn't look at the LA Times. You'll have a heart attack.

LA Times is a pro Trump outlier, but the Wapo/ABC tracking poll has been fair. Its D/R/I partisan sample is 37/28/29.

Why Clinton's advantage shrinks from +12 to +4 is beyond my understanding ???

Try going to other, bigger websites and you'll see plenty of Trump supporters.

Ha ok. I mean if people want to believe Trump will win at this point, good for them, sure. It's just, at this point it would be very hard to do without buying into conspiracies. But, educated Trump surrogates go on the news everyday and make the case he will and you can tell they are sincere in their belief that he will, so I guess at the very least, you're not alone.

I wouldn't put myself in with their lot. They're making the case for their candidate, so of course they'd make the case for him even if they were actually insincere about it.

Don't pay too much attention to outliers and day-to-day fluctuations... What matters is the aggregate, which still has her with a comfortable lead.

Read this: http://election.princeton.edu/2016/10/27/why-do-the-polls-seem-so-variable-this-week/#more-18322

For further comfort, look at this chart of Clinton's 'safe states', which has her already at 270 electoral votes: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/upshot/presidential-polls-forecast.html?_r=0#other-forecasts

Ding, definitely a popularity contest just like running for President in elementary school

All AIs become racist

Well, yeah.

Garbage in, garbage out. Social media is a toxic wasteland featuring the dregs of humanity.

 

[cdyhybrid]

At least we don't have to get worried about AIs becoming too intelligent to control anytime soon.

 

[Pejo]

This reminds me of that Twitter AI that came into existence earlier this year, and then immediately became racist.

Not sure social media is a good predictor of presidential elections this year.

AI has access to the emails confirmed.

This post is amazing.

Trump has taken this election and process and brought it to its knees. If you're talking about him it's not because he's popular, it's because he's notorious

 

[hoos30]

Garbage in, garbage out.

 

[nomis]

people who despise trump share as much or more shit about him on social media as his devotees do

 

[MrCunningham]

year of the underdog continues

Or you could say: "2016 is a brutal year"

 

[Deleted member 17706]

Is this just about levels of "engagement?"

The majority of the Trump engagement is extremely negative. People love to hate the guy, for good reasons.

Right or not, who cares in the end.

Lol. The Trump supporters are desperate.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

Aren't the odds of any statistical model picking both of the last two elections correctly at least 25%?

 

[Imperfected]

You know, if you're an AI programmer and your AI does something that looks utterly stupid, you usually quietly try to fix it instead of announcing it really loudly to everyone. Just saying.

 

[Battersea Power Station]

Fucking shit.

I think we all owe this AI system an apology
