You dont have to bring them to court with it for it to be useful. It could be used to target individuals then they use more conventional methods of evidence gathering to arrest.

I would guess they arent currently doing it enmasse because that doesnt sound useful either. I would say, solely on a vibes based level its been done by US intelligence. Its really not so different than a wiretap.

Bugs crawling on the dirty gross ground, hell no. Bugs pulled out of salty water, im in.

That’s the problem Im thinking about. Could a subtle change like changing the voice of an actor really have a huge impact, for me. So maybe its not a movie that is universally disliked, just one I dont personally like.

I dont know but it is interesting to think about.

Maybe with AI this is something I could explore more.

For me its just hard to gauge voice. I was thinking about, what if some of these movies I watch the voice is the thing that helps me connect to the character and I dont even realize it. Some times I watch movies that are of a genre I like, are structured like other movies I like, dialog is fine, but still I’m not getting into it. It could just be me but I’ll go back to them, I have a bad habit of stopping and restarting, and I still dont get into it. So not really bad movie and making it good but taking an ok movie and making it great.

I dont know.

I want to respond but youre not really giving much.

Let me ask this. Would Darth Vadar be Darth Vadar if he wasn’t voiced by James Earl Jones

Another one.

What if in the movie Her the AI wasn’t Scarlet Johanson but was Fran Drescher?

Alright you got him with the first comment no need to turn the knife.

Ok but how cold is only fans?

Blech

Ok, follow up, how hard is it to scoop ice cream at -18c?

Fuck, what’s that in rankine?

Im sorry about the dog, man, death is death, you know. Love transcends species and that’s beautiful. There’s a hole where my dog use to be but I think its not as painful anymore. I think at this point I’m ready to let more love in. If youre not now and dont think you’ll ever be, I was there.

Wait just a second. Im here man. Has things gotten better? You can be the main character of this thread, I’ll let you.

I see you bro, i see the haters. I got chu.

I wouldn’t say his friends are just shitty people. You really have to work with bros to foster a relationship where talking about emotions is acceptable. As men, we are really just ill equipped because of broad ideas about masculinity and its hard cycle to break.

Im willing to bet, if you surveyed his friends, there might be some who are heart broken they didnt know they should have stepped up.

Are you ok? I cant do much for ya but sorry no one has gotten outside themselves enough to see youre hurting.

Im steering clear

I was more or less trying not to refer to weapons of mass destruction. Not implying self defense is virtuous.

Lol

Captain Ahab monologue

This one’s kind of cool. What about a voice modulator that makes it seems like your voice is their own internal monologue and you can disarm them by boring them to death or confusing them.
