“The idea behind silicon sampling is simple and tantalizing,” they write. “Because large language models can generate responses that emulate human answers, polling companies see an opportunity to use AI agents to simulate survey responses at a small fraction of the cost and time required for traditional polling.”

Somebody invested money into this company. And there's at least hundreds, maybe thousands, of other businesses with these asinine ideas about how to use AI. They're all getting capital from someone who's supposed to be smart because they have capital. Remember that when llm providers cost correct token prices.

    The Wall Street Journal reported in February 2026 that high-quality voice cloning now requires roughly fifteen seconds of clean reference audio for tools available off the shelf.

    Fifteen seconds for a full voice clone is scarily impressive.

    Jones was always just an independent grifter. Its not like he was in Trump's inner circle. Also Jones lost the case over a year ago. I think the verdict came out under the Biden regime.

    The US has a full hand of leverage options against Israel which Trump can unilaterally use. Very minimum is simply stop sending them more interceptors. But I think kidnapping Netanyahu and sending him to the ICC would be appropriate.

    All fanciful wish casting of course.

    Israel wants war and will continue to drag the US back into war until the US properly punishes Israel. The tail is wagging the dog and it needs to stop.

    The turd is in google play services not AOSP so its not upstream of Lineage or Graphene. Graphene should actually be safe because it provides an alternative to google play services. Lineage doesn't but the user isn't required to install google play services. Lineage users might even be able to install Graphene's alternative (MicroG iirc) instead.
