We don’t mind AI but it reveals itself with perfect vocal execution. A human rapper with background AI is poor man’s platinum from a budget perspective.

This could be my next phone but has two big problems I see immediately. No earpiece so you can't, you know, hold it up to your ear and make calls like on a normal phone, you either need to have a bluetooth earpiece at all times or use speakerphone. The other thing I don't like is the Blackberry-like form factor. Nothing beats or comes close to the landscape slider layout. That said if it's open-source hardware I could at least potentially mod up a landscape slider version with an earpiece.

..plus a "boot mode" switch for the SD card, and even three pins for instant access to its debug console.

Your next phone? That sounds like a device that could be hacked with a 14-year old AI script kiddie who hung around the DEFCON badge booth for an hour.

Comment Pandemic bias. (Score 0) 66

The team measured and monitored the children’s size and health at annual school visits from 2018 to 2022..

Uh, what school visits? You mean the empty schools a team was visiting during a global pandemic?

You sure those lung results weren't possibly skewed because the kids were actually at home for a good portion of this study, and not being exposed to anywhere near as many daily toxins before the pandemic hit?

A planet was reacting to a global pandemic in ways we hadn't seen in a century or more. Yes. Statistics are going to be affected by this.

Comment The Twitter Effect. (Score 0) 49

Regardless of the oft-debated reasons Elon Musk chose to purchase Twitter, no CEO will ever be able to overlook what happened next. Which was effectively an eighty percent reduction in headcount with little real impact on operations.

When you have that kind of inarguable glaring statistic defining exactly how the tech world works with government to "create moar jobz", it becomes a bit painful to admit that those were never real jobs. Which eventually manifests in the job market of reality as a measure of unemployment for new grads.

It becomes even more painful to admit to the modern graduate that we now question if they're holding a real validation of education with that diploma too. A lot of employers have found out what happens next when the campus bubble infects education with political indoctrination; an HR turnover rate measured with a tachometer.

I can't see any point to this other than providing LinkedIn ai training data.

It IS training data. They will refine the AI slop until less and less people identify it. The fooled-ya rate will go through the roof then.

I *want* ai to keep clearly sounding like fucking ai (although, being honest, I can't think of a single post on LinkedIn that didn't sound like it was written by a robot, ever).

There are two types of students using AI.

One is a highly motivated intelligent student who is using AI to check and verify their work, and potentially challenge themselves with new problems if they wish to extend their learning session. That student, would likely score the same on homework and exams in 2026 as they did in 1986.

The other type of student, knows how to cut and paste homework into AI to get an answer. And the exam scores prove how many more of them there are. So do HR turnover rates for Gen Control-CV.

It warms our fiscal future knowing that AI replacing grown-ass experienced adult workers at least reads, writes and girl maths at a fourth grade level. Which is largely irrelevant for the teacher also using AI to grade homework, because No AI Left Behind.

(Yes. That's sarcasm. Not sure it's a race to the bottom anymore when "bottom" will soon be redefined to mean you're some kind of racist. 1984 was supposed to be a warning. Society doubled-down on Idiocracy instead.)

No. We shouldn't get rid of practice. We should remember the purpose of homework instead, because the exam results are proving it.

Some people actually want the climate to heat up, for their personal comfort. I've also seen arguments that increased CO2 helps plants grow. People are amazingly good at rationalizing whatever behavior they like, including attempts to use its negative consequences as justification.

A crushing lack of empathy, is the most dangerous behavioral trait that has ever emerged from a new generation of humans.

A young single never-married childless person, cannot grasp the love a mother or father has for a child. I get that lack of empathy based on lack of life experience. Seen it plenty of times. But a good person can still have a basic level of empathy.

GenMeMeMe can be found to be quite different. Zero sympathy. Zero empathy. I can’t even say remorse or regret has increased as a result of bad outcomes. Which is sadly indicative of psychopathic behavior.

Right?

I’m not denying a hotter summer. Or the potential for extreme weather. I’m questioning the hype and bullshit cheerleading squad in every marketing department that gets paid in clicks now. The weather industry is one of those unique industries where we call people who are only right 50% of the time “experts”.

Keep that in mind and temper your fears with a results-based look at the onslaught of OMGWTF world-ending predictions from the weather warriors over the last five years. You’ll find an imaginary death toll greater than every Cold War scenario that never happened.

LinkedIn is 100% slip, whether or not "AI" was involved. I spent about a year trolling there. I'm quite confident in my percentage estimate.

If someone was asked 15 years ago what LinkedIn exists for, they would likely tell you it’s a site where you can store your digital resume and network with people you know and trust, who also know you. Essentially your digital references.

Today LinkedIn only leaves a Bob asking ”What would you say you do here?”

Do you think American taxpayers ever felt violated when a US President elected an Open Border Czar allowed millions of immigrants to pour over a “border” for four years..as they’re stopped and questioned for the “crime” of wanting to enter their own fucking country properly and legally with their Rights intact?

No. Protestors should not be locked up for life. But I can think of a few Democrat voters who should recognize the concept of Cause and Effect.

The exemption and illegalities surrounding the 4th Amendment and our border, have existed since the 19th Century. So drop the nonsense about “this” administration. Citizen voters should have addressed this problem over a century ago. Plenty of citizens were ironically being stopped and questioned while an Open Border Czar reigned stu-preme.
