Here's where things get interesting. Scammers are using AI to get money from the elderly.
Not good."Technology is making it easier and cheaper for bad actors to mimic voices, convincing people, often the elderly, that their loved ones are in distress."
Academic urban legends. Popeye was misled by a misplaced decimal point, it seems.
If you're an app writer, choose your words carefully. Apple publishes a style guide.
For a man, losing a full-time job could lead to more problems. 33% more likely to divorce. That could set off a spiral of hurt.
Here's another crazy bill that the Oregon legislature is considering.
Gotta love the Willamette Week. Discussing the easy theft or Kias and Hyundais and providing the YouTube link to tell you how to steal them. Such journalism!
Oregon's lax illegal drug laws have naturally caught the attention of a powerful Mexican crime syndicate, CJGN. Wonderful.
It's so nice to come across someone who's obviously spent a lot of time thinking about life and people. Alas, much of his advice would have been applicable to this ronin from years ago. If I haven't learned life's lessons by now - well, shikata ga nai, as they say. But I like this philosophy - that's my life now.
SUCH HUBRIS. No, Ansel. A random group of strangers could not run a large city well. This is emblematic of the kind of thinking going on now - probably because a lot of the younger generation grew up watching Hollywood movies where spirited youth come in to save the day. Real life doesn't work that way. I want a city, state or country run by people who have proven themselves to be competent at running complex systems. People proven to be able to achieve things by working well with others. Not the random psychopath so prevalent in our society today. Ansel bolsters his arguments by referencing the etymology of democracy. This system could work well in small groups, like a book club, but there's a reason why the nation's founding fathers chose a republic model instead for the United States government.
