That's on you. It wasn't complicated.

You can get high fidelity earplugs that reduce the loudness without reducing the quality of audio. Rock performers often use them to protect their hearing.

It's kind of annoying that these earplugs are necessary, why not just turn down the volume? But anyway this is the situation we are in, and I recommend using earplugs to protect your hearing (whatever's left of it).

Nah. If I know what metrics I need to meet, I can game them as well as anyone.

As for communication, never criticize anything directly. Use sarcasm only. "Oh yes, AI is the best, we should all use it. It's proven to write bugs faster than any of us."

If it were something you cared about, you could go to conferences etc to meet marketers. Some of them will pay you $150 or more for a lead that ends in a sale.

Yes, they do. Corporate marketing offices have departments (or people, if they are smaller) who do outreach to bloggers, podcasters, streamers. There are conventions where the marketers can meet the "talent." In my experience the talent will shill for anything without shame.

Mr Beast is way better than daytime TV, and his reality TV shows are better than Survivor.

It's the sub-scribe button.

In the old days submarines had scribes to send messages back and forth, and that's where the terminology came from. In the modern era of course, scribes are automated (not a human), and messages from a computer are sent by raven.

Nothing in the summary really conveys why this raises to the level of news. Digging in it doesn't really have consequences for the users in the short term.

Plausibly a good change, but a change among countless other good changes that pass without notice.

With the amount of whining I heard about how this version of the Odyssey was woke race treason engineered to poison western civilization I would have expected Elon to move faster than the copy cops when it showed up on his precious everything app. Is he developing a tolerance to the stimulants? Renting out datacenter space making grok sluggish?

Today I learned that 50k/year, in New York, is what Bloomberg considers "middle class".

Were they just hard up for anecdotes or is some sort of expectation management in effect?

Except there are many examples from many sources.

One editor was given a 7 month sentence for showing an edited picture of a politician saying "I hate freedom of opinion".

Other more general examples:

"If people were being prosecuted for insults in Germany, every school kid would have a criminal record..."
You seem to have utterly missed the point that these prosecutions are entirely political speech against the government or ministers specifically.

We can thus estimate that this life strategy will work for 0.0125% of people. What a massive trend!

While you are correct about the Daily Telegraph, it has (without changing a thing) turned into one of the most reliable news sources on the internet, especially when not talking about the UK. Because most people get their news from Facebook or Twitter or some other ridiculous source.

It could come with a headband with a large flashing orange light on top which turns on whenever the camera is running.
