Every single letter of these ArtIcles should now have a link to the original source, sometimes I think 2/3s is reddit or Wikipedia or the first pass off the AP, that in my world is not a reliable source for anything but where all other data is lacking. I would simply want most of my news to be delivered to me by a agent that is very detailed in where it got information from, is that information unredacted, and is their video or audio streamed that instant that matches that quote. That any creation can be recreated. We are at the point where ever live can be falsified, where anyone can remove offensive and return gosh darn it.

Yes the world still needs a lot more storage, think the chips really might need might be the RAM to keeping track of how something was created storage and logged. We also have to agree to a tag that something was created by AI, forever keep the metadata, and it be insulting if it is stripped off.

I love to ask AI to compare and contrast all WaPo story from 2016 and WaPo story from 2025 with the same keywords and context and let the amazement flow. Or train an AI on 2004 and 2024 and let it spit out the diffrence in meaning and word usage of "far-right", "far-left" and "progressive". That news is considered a source of truth by anyone is insane outside of todays weather at zip code scales is amazing. It being changed more rapidly than song styles since the first time The Who said they were on their last tour.

The real problem AI is quotations where the source is not attached. Recording and keeping video, audio and interviews is zero compared to the coffee habit of the reporter. Since it is now no effort under our AI overlords the original video index, kept and properly transcribed is not a cost issue. After the past week I want the 3 hours of raw video, uploaded and checksum the same hour it was finalized, and I want links to other archives of similar recordings time and date wise with absolutely correct GEOdata and all datetimes are unmutable. Reporters really need to be recording their named sources, in these things called podcasts. Un named sources, quotes should almost never be used, that is what off the record use to be, the shit one would not share on a public pannel discussion.

The logic tree of a headline should be attached, and how far over the targeting of the headline slider was set.

IF AI is writing what I am reading, I want to tear apart the construction of those "facts" on a universal platform. Dont repeat AI, give me the query that constructs the story, and if it becomes wrong in the future, score the authors, human and robot over time.

Catching a tailwind on a bicycle with a downhill 90km/hr isnt a speed that anyone cannot control, especially since breaks are hub mounted on most fun things these days. The pedestrian stepping off the curb is the problem and always has been. The pedestrian always has some fault when it is a truck, bus, car. But shared fault when it is a bike or a fork lift, we have put a class of viechale having more responsibly a bar that the cyclist can never clear while riding down the center of a road. I was 20 feet behind a lorry going 40km/hr, the person paid attention to the lorry, but steped out into the street on the bike. Not the bike riders problem, but that is not how it is classified by medical authorizes. The fact that most people are high on touching their phone or drugs is more often the problem than the pedestrian involved with contact cyclist is willing to admit.

50km/hr.... That is downwind in flat midwest america, where the only bicycle injuries of note are cars not yeilding at our high tech replacements for traffic circles, 4 way stops. What the hell you all running into, sheep and old guys crossing the street? Or is it the all people you invited in to provide cheap labor?

Here is where the US legal system shows its world dominance on changing of behavior.

If it does not have an insurance requirement it is generally stuck on the sidewalk or the slowest of surface streets. City police fill their day with control of something that truely does not need control. Simply add an insurance requirement, add a plate and the rider will have to move to the street and 60km/hr will be normal speed in a 40km/hr. A scooter never was a high bar, it was what you gave to a teenager to get around town.

Anyone over the age of 12 should be able to handle the responsibility, but no, there is a population that always avoids doing the right thing. Perhaps get rid of the population that considers a high powered ebike a unlicensed business tool, perhaps talk to the delivery services about corporate liability.

There is never the discussion that cities are too dense, and that the UK is the prime example of not enough space to build, not enough green space accessible per child. That the entire nation is constantly wet and has eternal slime on sidewalks and roads, and then paints every single thing on the roads. High powered bicycles and livestock are a problem in scotland, just like with motorcycles and cars, but nobody in rural lands is going to say spend another 30 minutes at 20km/hr instead of 80km/hr in the rain to go to store.

Other parties put everyone on ebikes, and now those same other parties want to slow people down and expose them to more discomfort and exposer duration risks, in the words of Carl Marx, Shut the fuck up.

Unless the numbers are per distance ridden, we do not know anything. Motorcycles on a spring day in may appear to death machines, but 45% of the miles put on a motorcycle are on a spring day the hospitalizations on a calendar numbers mean virtually nothing. With every ebike having an app attached, and each user phone has a map app at least attempt to get a per mile ridden. This is where jornalism has fallen apart, one study is news article, with no good questions as the counter point. Why does it always have to be idiots are in control on either side of the issue, or is that the reporters are out of their leage, they should be reporting on market prices right off the wire.

The world said they want to cut down on carbon emissions from transport fuels, a percentage of 1KW ebikes going 100km per hour are going to be the result. You put the world on skateboards, injuries will occur.

Another populous play by trump is the democrats response saying "we did not think of our base as important, we thought the family with 2 young children living on median household income with shrinking purchasing power was locked in no matter how much we sucked up to Pharma. There was no chance they could vote on kitchen table issues, but trump the idiot, clown, orang man, Russian agent and despot lucked into a winning issue." It is as bad as complaining about an election where ballots were sent out to excess for the first time ever, and the media powered by Pharma Ads was clearly hiding significant stories about the other parties candidate.

No it could not be that the democrats "ground game" in recruiting another young voter had a near 70% chance of landing a trump voter if they did not hand a paper ballot to a dem door knocker. The only federal issue for young voters left, states, locals and development requirements have made building a 1200 square foot house to much of a hassle, the min unit size any company can make a profit over is well over 2000.

Comment Bring Back the Cold War. (Score 1) 159

No wonder everything is pushing us to bring back the cold war, we need a existential threat as human, now that winter cold and migrating from summer lands on the hillside to protected lands deeper in the valley isnt a 40 day a year hardship. We need a long term real major threat to get rid of the minor nits that become an issue of our time. Back in 1987, I was more concerned about the number of days I would survive after WWIII or being enslaved by Soviet Russia. As I lived 100 miles from a major metro, most likely not long, but I did not worry about the trash dump attacking me through drinking water.

If the wrong solution was good enough, my manager would be taking care of the work he assigns by asking questions of a voice prompt, and the rest of us would stand around and wait to be fired one by one when the AI soliton today falls on its face, and the C suite demands vengeance. What was that Star trek where the computer calculated the cost of war and informed the civilians to show up to the chamber? A bit like that.
