The rewiring of Social security admin with AI has begun, the training video is not promising
  • I don't know about the hardware, but I think the software is substantially older than that — dates back to the 1960s. I might be wrong, though, and I'm too stoned right now to Google it.

  • The rewiring of Social security admin with AI has begun, the training video is not promising
  • I'm also an old person who yells, and I agree.

    Mostly, though, if we're going to 'modernize' the system (with or without AI), it needs to be done smartly and methodically, and by people who aren't philosophically opposed to Social Security's existence.

  • Thanks! The site won't win any awards, but with an URL I can do daily updates, and additions when a show's added on short notice, and corrections when I've made boo-boos!

  • How to get past all the disinformation
  • In five paragraphs you've summed it up well, and provided an easy, handy rule — what they do matters, not what they say. Not sure I've seen it said more succinctly. Sincere kudos, smart stranger.

  • Gen Z increasingly listens to peers over doctors for health advice
  • I tried, but can't bear to read the "article," which, being Axios, is merely a collection of blips instead of actual writing and journalism.

    As for the headline, I'm pleased to see plenty of common sense in the comments here. Seeing an MD in America is difficult, expensive, time-consuming, often preachy, and frequently not worth the co-pay if you're lucky enough to have insurance. "Health care providers" have made it such a hoop-jumpy and slow process, that when I'm ill seeing a doctor is about my fourth choice.

  • Jeffrey Goldberg: Trump to meet with Atlantic editor from Signal leak
  • What the fuck and why? What's to be gained from this, for The Atlantic or its editor, Jeffrey Goldberg? Shit-can this dumb idea right here and now, please.

  • DNC chair rebukes David Hogg for pushing primaries against Democratic incumbents
  • Rebuke away, ya dumb fuck Dems. What the young Mr Hogg is attempting — funding primary challengers to the most empty-suit Democrats — might be futile, might not, but you gotta respect the effort.

    "Wake up, wake up," he shouts at the corpse of the Democratic Party, which will probably wake up only long enough to smack him away, and then go back to sleep.

  • Camping World closes one of two Greenville locations amid controversy over huge flag :: WRAL.com
  • There are enough genuine outrages in America these days, I was inclined to think nothing much of this one.... until Franklin Graham weighed in on the store owner's side. Nothing more needs to be researched or considered; as much as Donald Trump or Elon Musk, if Franklin Graham is on your side you're on the wrong side.

  • Uber says it will exit Colorado if bill aimed at boosting rideshare safety becomes law
  • That would be glorious. One down, 49 to go, and the District of Columbia.

  • Abrego Garcia’s wife forced to go into hiding thanks to DHS slip-up
  • That's not a "slip-up" unless there's an apology and the info is taken down, which hasn't happened, and won't. It's a DHS doxing.

  • Trump administration is still resisting the judge's orders in Abrego Garcia deportation case
  • Court orders can be either followed or appealed, but in the entire history of me reading the news, I don't remember ever seeing a headline about someone "resisting" court orders.

    Fears grow that Signal leaks make Pete Hegseth top espionage target
  • That headline is a masterwork of obfuscation, softening an obvious fact by hiding it behind "fears grow".

    Once upon a time, citizen activists tried to stop the construction of Interstate 5 through Seattle. Jeff Stevens tells the tale.
