This worries me:

CNN translates politicians using AI.

In this clip, Macron is speaking French, but if you do not speak French, YouTube will switch the sound to an AI voice which sounds a bit like Macron.

So now, when an American politician is listening to the President of France, he is no longer hearing what a real, human translator KNOWS Macron is saying. He is hearing what AI GUESSES Macron is saying.

What happens, if AI gets it wrong?

🧠🃏 New #research suggests that Three-Card Monte works by exploiting how our #brains predict where our eyes should move next.

Instead of relying on speed, magicians use specific physical cues to trigger a natural eye-tracking error called an antisaccade. This brief lapse in visual focus allows the performer to swap the cards while the observer's #brain is busy processing a misdirected movement.

Magicians' talk doesn't trick the eyes, Three-Card Monte experiment suggests

Magicians often talk while performing their acts, using a type of speech called "patter." This can include scripted dialog, storytelling, and interactions, and is often used to entertain and manage audiences, with many people—including magicians—believing that it can even misdirect spectators and make sleight-of-hand tricks harder to spot. But does patter actually pull focus and make it difficult for viewers to see what's happening? A new study published in Scientific Reports tests that assumption directly—and the results are surprising.

The passive income movement was a fantasy about not having to give a shit. This is a terrible foundation for pretty much anything.

The "Passive Income" trap ate a generation of entrepreneurs

I had coffee last year with a guy - I won't use his real name - who told me he was "building a business." I asked what it did. Dropshipping jade face rollers. I made him say it twice. Jade face rollers. He'd found them on Alibaba for $1.20
