@Free_Press Welp, I hope Harris wins AND hope she is on top of this. The West has the ability to spank the Russians back into the Dark Ages. It needs to be done and soon.
North Korean troops. What a joke. The Russians are out of manpower. Hahaha. Solution: cluster bombs on Russian territory, where the remnants won't harm decent people.
@LikeItOrLumpIt She did. That's the root of the world's problems today.
@charlotteclymer Sad we don't have the broadcast environment and FCC of the 1970s. This would be shut down immediately and breathtaking fines levied.
Back in the day when I was younger, being ALLOWED to broadcast on radio spectrum owned by the people brought a whole lot of stipulations. Public service was the most fundamental concept, the "prime directive". Nobody dared violate this because FCC response was immediate and draconian.
In the meantime, everything has become enshittified. "Let the market sort itself out." That doesn't work, at all.
Sick of all these changes indeed...

@HopelessDemigod @K7JIB Thanks for the tips.
@Free_Press He's referring to his immigrant, draft dodging, whorehouse-operating grandfather.
@jakedonham Not much effort. It's steel tubing. An ordinary hacksaw can make that cut in well under 30 seconds.
This is outrageous. For several years I ran a certified corporate and legal transcription service. We also did medical, psych, law-enforcement work.
All transcription work is "high risk". You never know where a transcript ends up, like a court of law. Mistakes, guesses, creativity have no place in that business.

Alaska's education commissioner drafted a proposal banning students from using cellphones at school, citing multiple studies linking cellphone distractions to poor academic achievement. The state Board of Education voted to approve the ban.
Just one problem: most of the studies cited in the policy don't exist; they were hallucinated by bullshit-generator machines ("AI"). This crap is now guiding public policy!

What’s worrying is that the analysis seems to show that a good chunk of the hallucinations, 40%, are outright harmful. That basically means that 1 out of roughly every 200 sentences transcribed contains a harmful fabrication.
Together, this would mean that if this tech is rolled out widely in sensitive industries such as healthcare, even with some safeguard, it would be very likely to result in the serious harm or even death for a non-trivial number of people.
This would be, y'know... bad.
@jakedonham Hmm. That's an odd looking break. Looks like it was cut or mostly cut with a hacksaw so that it would break. Sabotage?
@wdlindsy Indeed. Hitler and Goebbels had a lot of laughs cooking up their plans.
@Free_Press Trump is a weak man, perpetually afraid. Of course he want's the military to push his agenda by force.
