- Comment on Audible unveils plans to use AI voices to narrate audiobooks 1 day ago:
They didn’t replace Fry. When the Audiobooks were released in the US, they were read by Jim Dale. Fry was for the rest of the English language releases. During the run, Jim Dale broke the world record for the most character voices performed by a single actor in an audiobook (146).

- Comment on Trying to avoid antitrust suits, Google senior executives told employees to destroy messages 2 weeks ago:
These types of requests always backfire. We got a similar request when I worked for a very large corporation and the very first thing I did was create a backup of our Lotus Notes and take it home. Just in case.

Delay Social Security benefits until 70?!!
Buy annuities?!!!
Social Security is not going to exist when I’m 62, much less 70.
How do annuities help me if Trump and the GOP tank the dollar and we are hit with hyperinflation?
What if my wife and/or I get sick? A single prolonged illness could easily wipe out thirty years worth of retirement savings.
…but I shouldn’t worry. Right.
- Comment on Social media sites should have 'reverse' Parental Controls; where adult children can block their boomer/senior parents' accounts from viewing conspiracy and radicalizing content. 2 weeks ago:
I was interested in Diablo IV when it was released which, after a few videos, led YouTube to recommend Asmondgold. I watched one or two of his videos and the next thing I know my feed is full of maga and manosphere trash. Most of it had innocuous titles and thumbnails but a few minutes in I was being bombarded with lies, bad faith arguments, logical fallacies. Don’t even get me started with where funny Garand Thumb videos will lead. All I could think of was how Al Queda and ISIS recruited people with videos posted online.
