Nonbark to easy answer

Wondering why political parties aren’t using more AI to simulate dead politicians. McConnell is the latest example of a VERY long tradition. Biden, Feinstein, Pelosi, McCain in recent years, many others before.

Easy answer: Those things haven’t been human for a long time, so they DON’T NEED to be simulated. Nobody cares if they move or speak or eat or poop or think.

They are slots in an array like bitcoin. The only thing that matters is the balance of D vs R in the array. The numbers don’t have any function. They don’t pass budgets or declare war or make laws. All of those functions are done by bureaucrats.

To outsiders even the balance doesn’t matter, because we see that the same shit happens whether D>R or R>D.

Politics as a program:

 while 1:
 {
  Elect(D,R);
  if D>R:  get(CampaignFunds);
  if D<R:  get(CampaignFunds);
  if D==R: get(CampaignFunds);
 } end while
