On the other hand, this is a great way to fish out the few bad ones. If you can't control a temptation to use power for personal gain, you shouldn't be a police officer.

This provides both opportunity, and also hard evidence admissible in court if someone takes it.

I.e. cop with tendencies to stalk would use other means to stalk that are less traceable. This reveals them.

PRC leadership disagrees with you in the strongest possible way.

By putting entire state apparatus' resources behind efforts to procure those chips.

In my experience, it's very language dependent. Big popular languages like English? Big players in the field like google got their AI good enough to take diction even when speaking quickly after minimal training.

But smaller languages like Finnish? The level of "oh no, it's retarded" is over 9000.

Also needs a decent quality mic and reasonably clean background noise levels in most cases.

Makes me wonder if AI dev teams finished fixing "AI agents that can configure OS settings for you directly with admin privileges" to the point where they're safe enough to use (i.e. won't change something destructive by accident).

I remember seeing news about Claude based agents still doing weird shit with unintended destructive operations just a few months ago.

I suspect everyone from people with disabilities, to people who struggle with fast typing on keyboards (a shocking amount of gen Z and gen Alpha, who are used to on screen keyboards are in this category).

For us older dudes who grew up doing work with keyboards, we probably type faster than we can speak clearly. And with less errors.

But we're not the whole population. Not by a long shot. And for those who are less keyboard-inclined, this may be a useful feature.

That's a cool history reference I forgot.

But indeed, a better question is the eternal one: "how do you make gambling fair?"

It's an eternal question because it's a moving target. As honesty-seeking players adapt, so do their dishonest counterparts.

Considering that overwhelming majority of tech workers is already using AI, this is going to go places.

Not good places mind you.

The reason why a lot of European cities still have mass transit that functions is because these are still mostly homogenous, high trust societies when it was deployed. That means things like accosting passengers, random violence, theft and other antisocial behaviors that normal passengers can't escape (because you're in a metal/plastic/glass box trapped with the murderer/thief/etc).

In US, a lot of public transit is useless because of cases like Irina Zarutska. You can have the busses, the metro, etc, and it's used only if utterly necessary because the risk of "another crazy freak will just stab you in the neck" is relevant.

Essentially, successful build out of mass transit is a marker of high trust society that has purged lowest 1-2% of its people from commons.

This sort of "show how you're winning" advertising has been a thing with gambling since before mass media.

You'd have card sharks doing things like fake players who win a lot to entice actual targets to play and lose.

Key part of demoralization of a nation is making people ashamed of it.

Damn, they listened to him during Obama's tenure?

He really is the Immortal Emperor in your minds.

Fact check actually said "it was a crocodile enclosure". It was so stupid, it short circuited my brain when typing it out.

Also headlines are epic, going along the lines of "child ended up in the croc cage". How? No one knows, but they arrested "a man". What kind of man? No one knows, but he's not a straight white one, because that would've been all over the news.

Best part is that now there's reporting that this mystery man was so mentally retarded, they couldn't interview him. So they released him on bail until september. Guess there's more kid chucking coming up.

Just kidding. This nonsense made it to X, so they're probably going to have to arrest the poor bastard before he gets to try to see if he can chuck the next one into a lion enclosure, and then get fact checked that it's actually a tiger enclosure.

Ah yes, my favorite kind of a fact check Reminds me of the current story about immigrant who chucked a random 3 year old kid into the alligator cage with obvious consequences.

Then we get Fact check false. It was actually an alligator cage.

Same energy as this "debunk".

Ask your favorite LLM for a list of ROK tech that was cloned by PRC manufacturers as a result of industrial espionage.

Bigger problem here is safetyism combined with Haidt's crusade against social media. He was told early on that his work would be repurposed by "save the children from Satan/faggots/fascists/pedos" for something he specifically stated wasn't his goal. He went through with it anyway.
