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.

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 Erosion of Miranda

In Vega v. Tekoh, the U.S. Supreme Court held, in part, that the jury could not be required to find Tekoh’s Fifth Amendment rights were violated because Miranda warnings are not rights but rather judicially crafted rules, which opens the door for overruling Miranda altogether.

The Vega decision will have a stronger impact on young defendants, the intellectually disabled, racial minorities, immigrants, and anyone unfamiliar with the criminal justice system and more prone to coercion.

And this was in 2014.

Imagine being Mahmoud Khalil right now and talking about the Fifth Amendment. You’re lucky if you can invoke the Suspension Clause.

This works so long as DOGE doesn’t get into the IRS offices and start turning off all the APIs.

So you just feel confident that you know the layman’s definition of “molecule”. Cool.

But a fucking molecule‽ Come on man…

Genuinely curious if you could pass Chem 101 exam from your Uber driver seat. Do you just know the word or could you actually speak on it.

At some point, you need to revisit and refresh your understanding of the world. People can and do forget information they learned 30 or 40 years ago if they’re not making use of it on at least a semi-regular basis.

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

• Federal authorities accuse Adam Iza, a cryptocurrency entrepreneur, of financial conspiracies and extortion.
• Prosecutors allege Iza used L.A. County sheriff’s deputies to carry out his criminal bidding.
• Iza has pleaded not guilty. A judge ordered him jailed despite claims that he needs medical care after a cosmetic leg-lengthening procedure.

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.

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.

And don’t forget, airports all have to be on the edge of town anyway. So even if you’re not in a small town, you’re taking a train or a bus or a cab to the airport.

Meanwhile, big train and bus terminals can exist in the dead center of town. I can walk to the Empire State Building from Union Station in New York. But even one time, Gilbert Godfried suggests a picking up a connecting flight at the Twin Towers and everyone yells at him.

Wait till this guy finds out you can take a train from France to England.

It’s going to blow his mind
