Trump’s Department of Homeland Security Secretly Ordered Cybersecurity Operatives to Acquire a Voting Machine and Hack It.

Yeah i agree. It's a search for a half-truth they can base an argument on, but classify enough info around it to make it difficult to challenge or investigate.

Watch for when Zombie/apocalypse movies start getting popular again.
It's absolutely a sign of mass despair at "the system".
Zombies make everyone equal again. The executive actually becomes dead weight compared to folks who have spent their lives doing physical or practical labour.

Companies Are Realizing They’re Spending a Fortune on AI Just So Their Employees Can Generate Error-Riddled Slop, and Suddenly Cutting Back Budgets.
I'd love more of the msm to pick up these articles.
I need to convince my family this current state of AI is just smoke, mirrors and debt, but i need a normie-credible source to anchor it.
Does anyone know of one? Guardian would do.

He's a pretty effective tank for their abuse, and seems to be in good spirits about it.
At the very least, it's harder for trans people to monetise their demonisation.

It's that "greater precision" part that is hard to ensure.
If someone is checking their work with AI or thoroughly checking the work after, great.
But it's a hard difference to teach

They're not chasing the shiny thing. Theu just think it's business as usual.
I'm not sure what they'd do differently, but they'd be able to make the decisions based on all the info, as opposed to what they have now.

I don't want them to plan their lives around it. My brother is thinking of switching career and my parents have some investments etc based around line-go-up.
But also I just look like a conspiracy guy until the bubble pops, but then im the "i told you so guy" and that sucks.

Yeah for sure. AI has made that even more redundant now by removing the effort barriers also.

An advertising industry worker's take on adblockers
Reply in thread
I worked at an ad agency and we'd literally have every user's email, name, phone etc in random spreadsheets that everyone had access to.
As an intern I had root access to just about everything on the company server because I was one of the people who "knew computers" who wasn't a dev.
There was constant debate about how to trick people into giving over their data etc (e.g. email sign-up for some free crap that you never actually got). Or getting people to allow apps permission to access their contacts, as then you've got 100 new people, and enough info about them to get them to open a spam email.
Also, if the user fell for a trick, their details are suddenly high value, as they are dumb enough to be a "mark" (or maybe their English isn't very good), so their stuff can be sold to scam companies or just scummy people.
Privacy is a layer of defence, and shitty people feel entitled to take it away from you.

What's the worst example of not "reading the room" you ever witnesses?
One time the company big boss did a speech telling us how we could all learn a thing or two from his protégé, and clapped him on the shoulder.
If big boss had spent more time in the office, he'd have known that Mr Protégé spent most of his working hours playing ping-pong with Big Boss's trophy-wife.

Skill issue.
The Dutch absolutely use bikes to carry goods.
I've seen people with TVs on their bike. I've seen them with multiple crates of beer on the handlebars (kingsnight).
I saw three people on one (regular) bike.

Absolutely yeah.
It would be amazing to see this as a LE video in a couple of weeks!
He currently has 3.7m followers on YouTube, so it would certainly shine some daylight on this situation.

You can’t even pay people to have more kids
I suspect the rise of the dual-income family (often as a matter of necessity) has had a massive influence on this.
In addition to the absurd increases in cost of living etc.
