    How Does AI Affect Your Online Shopping?

    Ah! Well, if no AI based search results were used, how would AI facilitate the supremacist search? The methodology described in the article looks like good investigative journalism connecting the dots of a data breach, consisting partly of self-reported data from people actively concealing...

    Maintaining your secret identity

    Yes. I’m selling something I own that I acquired by 100% legal means. Yes. In my case, it’s classic buy low- then wait- then sell high. According to a 1998 article in The Lapidary Journal, in the 1960s, DeBeers pitched the concept of the “investment” diamond: $1000 for a 1ct round, brilliant...

    Maintaining your secret identity

    I can make literally tens of thousands of dollars in a day selling reselling gems, jewelry & precious metals for cash, without ID, to legitimate buyers in the USA. In 2024, I walked into a “cash 4 gold!” buying event (for a local store) advertised in my local newspaper carrying a shoebox with...

    How Does AI Affect Your Online Shopping?

    I didn’t post anything from okstupid- don’t even know what that is- so I’m not sure what you’re responding to here.🤷🏾 I posted: 1) a Forbes article (with same facts posted elsewhere) about a new law enforcement AI claiming a LEO became a frog during a test, and made OTHER errors during a...

    Maintaining your secret identity

    Depends on the gadget, where it’s being sold, and how easily you can generate cash. Gold is approaching $5k/oz, after all.

    How Does AI Affect Your Online Shopping?

    I’d say the lag is months or weeks, based on some of the AI-generated ads for sketchy tai-chi programs I’ve seen.

    How Does AI Affect Your Online Shopping?

    False positives and hallucinations are still a problem with AI uses in law enforcement and other forms of identification . Perhaps you’ve seen the recent example of the AI test that thought a policeman had “turned into a frog” and had other errors in subsequent tests...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    My freshman year of college, I met a young woman who claimed to be descended from Romanian aristocracy. If true, she could have been a lot older than she seemed…😜

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Hey, HERO is my gaming Rosetta Stone. If I want to port something from another system, I’ll see if I can model it in HERO first*, then work from there. …if I’m not doing it directly from HERO in the first place. * yes, I probably can

    Maintaining your secret identity

    I was thinking in terms of having the $$$ to pay for whatever crime-fighting gadgets and anti-tracing tech you want to use to protecting your secret ID. And some of the most effective ways to do that are to have a low-profile secret ID and untraceable-as-possible income. IOW, become a ghost.

    Maintaining your secret identity

    Also, selling in person for cash avoids electronic data trails for governments and other investigators/hackers to track. BONUS: you’ll probably get a better price without the resellers taking a cut.

    Maintaining your secret identity

    If you really start thinking deeply about how most superheroes with secrets interact with the mundane aspects of their world as depicted in comics, you realize that they’re doing at least one or more of: 1) they’re forging documents 2) they have friends in government pulling strings 3) they’ve...

    Maintaining your secret identity

    It’s going to be a learning process, no question. But high density metals*- the kind that block X-rays**- are almost all valuable to someone. As to where to look? If/when he learns how to distinguish between the various metals, there’s LOTS of speculation as to which asteroid belts would be...

    Maintaining your secret identity

    Your powers mean that you can sell your gold in person, anonymously, legally, at any time of day, in virtually any city in the world. You won’t get the best price for it, but you don’t need to. I’ve essentially done so (on a much smaller scale) just staying in D/FW without the ability to fly...

    Maintaining your secret identity

    There’s no reason someone with Kal-El’s powers couldn’t detect a decent vein of gold with his x-ray vision, retrieve it by diving into the earth, and selling it off. He could also (at some power levels) literally mine asteroids for precious metals. Do it enough times, set up offshore accounts...
