When our son was 10 he would ask questions about whatever narrative we were consuming together and it took one talk like "those questions you're always asking are called the story and if you're patient you'll find that they get answered eventually" and a lot of the internet needs that refresher.
"WHY'S SHE DOING THAT?? WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT, I'M BORED" well the cool thing about following a narrative is that eventually if you keep watching or reading or listening, magical bits of information are doled out

I'm already just intrinsically giving more value to anything dated before late 2022 or so. At some point the AI slop assholes are going to be pissed by that and start artificially backdating their slop to make it seem more legitimate. I can feel it coming in my bones.
One of the big tidal forces of the coming years is that the baseline reliability of things you see on a screen is going to decline.
I think this has not been adequately metabolized.
This is one version, but there are a bunch of them.

NEW: AI “recipe slop” is overrunning search and social. Food creators say Google’s AI Overviews and glossy fake food pics are drowning out real, tested recipes — collapsing traffic and setting home cooks up for disaster, especially this Thanksgiving.

The Woz consistently strikes me as one of the best people to ever come along in the early era of computers. I'm sure there's some skeleton in his closet but over and over again he just seems like he's one of the most decent and accomplished people to come out of tech from the '80s and '90s.
In an era filled with tech dipshits who never developed emotionally past the age of 13 & use their wealth to become odious monsters ...

This is wild if true. I had thought the GJ returned indictments on counts 2 and 3 but as I read it, it sounds like the original paperwork did not in fact do that.
2. After deliberations, the grand jury foreperson informed the EDVA grand jury coordinator that there were not enough votes to indict on Count 1 of the three-count indictment.
However, the entire document was then marked as though the grand jury had declined to return an indictment on all counts.
