You can do that with this novel technology called “a second pair of glasses for reading”.
Alternatively, if you don’t want to constantly adjust because you only need to read something quick, try taking off your glasses and squinting.
Could save you thousands of dollars and hours on the line with technical support.
It’s called “Blogging” and it is taking the nation by storm.
Problem: Most people only process text at the 6th grade level
Proposal: Require mainstream periodicals to only generate articles accessible to people at the 6th grade reading level
Consequence: Everyone accepts the 6th grade reading level as normal
But… New Problem: We’re injecting so many pop-ups and ad-inserts into the body of text that nobody ever bothers to read the whole thing.
Proposal: Insert summaries of 6th grade material, which we will necessarily have to reduce and simplify.
Consequence: Everyone accepts the 3rd grade reading level as normal.
But… New Problem: This isn’t good for generating revenue. Time to start filling those summaries with ad-injects and occluding them with pop ups.
Given the degree to which the modern day Wiki mods jump on to every edit and submission like a pack of starved lions, unleashing a computer to just pump out vaguely human-sounding word salad sounds like a bad enough idea on its face.
If the AI is being given priority over the editors and mods, it sounds even worse. All of that human labor, the endless back-and-forth in the Talk sections, arguing over the precise phrasing or the exact validity of sources or the relevancy of newly released information… and we’re going to occlude it with the half-wit remarks of a glorified chatbot?
Woof. Enshittification really coming for us all.
The business cycle dictates that companies try to re-implement bad ideas every six months to two years.
If the idea was good, they’d have implemented it and made their money. Only bad ideas are still ripe for exploitation and new economic growth, because you haven’t had someone as smart as me to make them work right.
It’s a secret smart phone that was smuggled out of the country by the Top Spies in the “Going to N. Korea to ride the subway” YouTube gang. We sent in some of our stealthiest and most clandestined professional infiltrators. Real Navy Seals meets Mission Impossible type guys. And they came out of N. Korea with this cutting edge “phone that randomly takes pictures while its in your pocket” technology.
Using the country’s state of the art telecommunications system and their cutting edge image processing technology, the Glorious Leader analyzes over 40 Zetabytes of information daily. This dragnet of highly accurate, insanely rigorous, and insidiously nefarious ultra-spyware is then handed over to a crack team of North Korean special agents who utilize their pre-crime tracing technology to break up hundreds of resistance cells every year, long before they can become a threat to the iron fisted communist regime.
It’s the only explanation for why North Koreans haven’t fully revolted and overthrown their despotic leadership. Juche Super-science keeps the rabble in line.
the USA has been overtaken by a fascist christian white supremacist party
For the third time (assuming you don’t count Congressional cycles) in twenty years. I’ve spent a solid 13 of the last 25 years living under a Christian Fascist presidency. Why am I supposed to assume that will devalue the dollar this time around?
Is it?
Seems like petrodollars have been riding high for decades.
I think the latter has a better future at the moment.
Crypto ‘godfather’ of Bel-Air: Probe widens into L.A. deputies’ alleged links to mogul
If you want a deeper dive, check out the TrueAnon episode series Zort a three-parts-and-counting plunge into the seedy underbelly of Cryptocoin scams, extortion, leg-lengthening surgery, LASD rampant corruption, and age-gap discourse.
Isn’t this the model Capitalist?
No, because it paid its workers.
AI company
Uses no AI
Honestly, the smartest thing they could do
Bilks investors for $1.5B and then just walks off with the money
Incredible. Who did they bilk?
Microsoft
Lolz.
Abraham “Avi” Loeb
In 2018, he suggested that alien space craft may be in the Solar System, using ʻOumuamua as an example. In 2023, he claimed to have recovered material from an interstellar meteor that could be evidence of an alien starship, which some experts criticized as hasty and sensational, and other experts showed that Loeb mistook ordinary truck traffic for a seismic evidence of the meteor, causing him to look hundreds of miles in the wrong direction.
There’s a theory that the young universe was at habitable temperatures literally everywhere at one point
I think you mean “hypothesis”
Plus the universe was way smaller and denser than, so it would have been easier for that life to travel everywhere.
There was a significant - over half a billion year - gap between the formation of the Earth and the earliest traces of life.
Was the gap between Earth and the Sun habitable during this period?
I mean, it sounds like a very expensive way to kill some earth-based life.
I will believe this when you can point to the planet our life came from.
For spamming ads and scams to people? Absolutely.
I’m more than confident that Twitter already had a backdoor for encrypted DMs.
However, I would bet cash money that the current administration has lost the institutional knowledge of how to use it. So they’re having to reinvent the wheel, most likely by injecting a bunch of new bugs and sloppily implemented hacks.
AI can do a great job pulling data from multiple sources and condensing into an answer.
Google could already do that. The format of the answer came in the blurb under the link, pertinent to the search.
I use it to find relevant, existing libraries and provide me w/ examples on how to use it.
AI Code Tools Widely Hallucinate Packages
The tendency of code-generating large language models (LLMs) to produce completely fictitious package names in response to certain prompts is significantly more widespread than commonly recognized, a new study has shown.
Federation is strong specifically because of how it gets around the networking effect.
Federation doesn’t get around the networking effect. It inhibits the network’s growth by allowing the community to fracture along instances, depending on the whims of the admins. But when one community outstrips the rest, its meaningless.
Federating mitigates the flaws of OG Mastadon, as it allows individual users to stack threads from multiple participating instances. But as soon as their native instance goes to shit, they’ve got to pick up a new account somewhere else and rebuild their profiles. And people - by and large - don’t like doing that repeatedly.
It takes 10 minutes to set up a new account somewhere else
“It takes 10 minutes to set up an account in App X” is the same line I’ve heard explaining why people would leave Twitter or Facebook or Reddit.
Why doesn’t BlueSky have all of Twitter’s business if it’s so easy?
Wait, is this the Cybertruck with the wrap of Trump getting shot or the other one?
