I am curious what replaces top notch journalism these days. Will it "merely" be tinted/tainted views of events, or will it just be actual falsehoods and bald face lies, fresh from the LLM slop machine with ragebait, and almost zero useful, if not actionable info? Will we be seeing more creations of events in game engines to show a military victory?

It entirely depends on the bloodlust of the audience clicking and generating the revenue to survive.

If we raise our kids properly they just might realize why they absolutely need to value Truth and Honesty in the future society they create. Because all of us grow tired of being fucked with by clickbait marketing. AI will only make that far worse, because gullible humans.

Imagine sitting down with someone born in this century and describing what it was like to be able to actually trust in life. At face value. The stress alone constantly worrying about everything less than that, is the reason so many struggle today. Even if you want to be honest, the world we live in, doesn't.

"The AP is not in trouble," said Julie Pace, executive editor and senior vice president of the AP. "We're making these changes from a position of strength but we're doing so now to recognize our changing customer base."

In other words, we are toast. Sad because AP was once one of the original newspapers/sites with journalists rather than editorialists but that ship has sailed for most if not all of those outfits. It's hard keeping up with the Kardashians/Jones, whatever.

Translation: A TikTok-edumucated audience, doesn't give a flying fuck about "AP" or truth anymore. Which is why AI is all the clickbait-rage.

Unfortunately that customer base is their target demographic now (by volume), in order to survive.

It's good that Outlook adheres to the cosmological principle.

If it's any consolation, it is estimated based on current functionality that Outlook will function perfectly within the gravitational pull of a black hole.

Even if nothing else will.**

Including you.

I didn't say anything about which user you are or how much permissions you have. The fact that these OSes allow even *root* to make changes to the OS, is insecure in itself. By contrast, Android and iOS strictly limit what installers can do.

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA

Even if you do have "god" permissions, an Android or iOS installer can't update the OS itself.

HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHA

Keep going, this is precious
