BTW: Am I right in assuming that Lee, Wendy & Co. never became famous for their essayistic skills and to this day have no publishing contract?
The bad news: in #dystopian days, I fear a dumbing down of the world, deliberately incited by #TESCREAL #techBros to keep people manipulable.
"Detecting High-Functioning Autism in Adults Using Eye Tracking and Machine Learning"
From the abstract:
"""
...These results confirm that eye-tracking data can be used for the automatic detection of high-functioning autism in adults and that visual processing differences between the two groups exist when processing web pages.
"""
My first thought was "how would this be used in horrible ways?"
Of course, the lowest-hanging fruit is always capitalism—profiling, advertising, risk-assessment.
Then my partner brought up Gattaca, and with RFK's eugenicist hard-on for "eradicating autism", a government database of autistic individuals doesn't seem too farfetched a use case (he's already pushing for one, and it'd be easier to get someone like Zuck to incorporate the detection method into one of their video apps than to try to do it via medical record requests).
Though, to be fair, potentially leverageable neurodivergence, disabilities, and disorders are likely already part of Meta's algorithms 
Any which way, this seems like another AI "solution" that's more likely to create problems than it is to solve any.

#Voters Reject President Trump's #Dystopian Plans for "Public Safety"
President Donald #Trump has been pushing mass #deportations , aggressive law enforcement measures, and a sweeping expansion of the death penalty as the path to public safety— all while cutting the very programs that actually make communities safer.
Voters aren’t buying it.

I am giving the ADAM Audio S3H a spin against their bigger sisters, the S5H, and good grief they hold their ground and then more.

"...US President as the villain trying to destroy the world economy."
Not James Bond but... I can think of two #SciFi #Movies with presidential villains.
#IronSky and #DontLookUp
Not sure what it means that both have a woman president?!

@GossiTheDog So, Palantir asked what wanted to be built and the answer was death machines and human subjugation technologies and they think this is something that they should advertise to potential employees?!?
Has the whole world gone fucking crazy?
It just dawned upon me that we are now at the point of monetizing our pet-produced serotonin as a civilization, as a way of fending off the morosity of our #dystopian reality.
Make with that what you will.
