Google. You have gone and fucked up yet again.

Archive: https://archive.today/ikx3f

From the post:

>While I was driving, I received a text message from my father with 3-4 pictures and some of his typical dad jokes. Android Auto prompted me with a new feature "Summarize Messages". Usually I'm strongly against these features but curiosity got the better of me so I clicked "Turn on". Then I clicked "Summarize" on my father's message. It started giving me a detailed summary of names that are not in any of my contacts or my actual social circle, e.g. "Zach and Melanie are planning to visit NYC this summer". I'm not sure if it was truly another person's summary of some canned dev message. But now I'm a bit worried Google is giving other users my SMS history.

If you want to die a little inside, dont think about the 15% or so who're so retsrded they cant answer the hypothetical.

Think about the easily 50% of the population who can easily answer the hypothetical, but can't grasp the problem created by that 15%. "So what if 15% cant answer hypothetical questions about breakfast?" Retards vote. When most elections are decided by single digit margins, and 15% of the population is so retarded it cant ponder the tradeoff of skipping breakfast, who do you think gets voted in? A thoughtful statesman, or President Comancho with Beef Supreme as VP?

I've been saying it for years. Ironically it's also the solution to "overpopulation" and "climate change".

Stop feeding the animals and the problem will solve itself. This includes the huge amount of them outside of the US but also the ones on SNAP/EBT.

You are correct. Anything you incentivize, you get more of. Including impoverished retards. The USA was within a generation of eliminating involuntary poverty due to continual income growth across all economic classes...until LBJ and his "War on Poverty" incentivized being a freeloader.
