  • So corporations use ai and bots themselves in order to inflate their stats and steal money from investors and share holders(see Reddit) and its all cool. Someone does that but it costs the corporation some money. Straight to jail.

    Seriously, how has the reddit IPO which was offered to users not been a fraudulent scheme due to the website statistics being based on genuine user interaction with no mention of auto reposting or bots that are either operated by or hired by reddit?

    It genuinely seems like the next ponzi scheme but that would require so many federal agencies that stopped giving shit and learning how the world works to see any peep into that business.

    But what do I know, I’m just some average Joe that gets audited over a $300 mistake on annual taxs which I have to pay a private third party more than that to do.

    The ghost in my house was getting mad for some reason and shutting off my lights for too long. I went poking around in the wires and couldn’t find anything so I “accidentally” shorted a main. Apparently a 15kw copper flashbang was enough to scare it away. Lights stopped flickering and turning off and I didn’t change anything.

    The reel. I heard this a long time ago. I fish a lot now but only fresh water so I can only guess what the deal was. Could be just to reel them in fast since they pass so quick. Could also be used to raise a net quickly. But they were rod with I think chain saw engines.

    Now that I’m thinking about it, electric motorized reels are popular today for deep sea fishing. Maybe these were actually the 70s prototype to haul fish up 300m and catching flying fish is another story I’m mixing it up with.

    Edit: I’m so sure I remember the cover of a fishing magazine that had like 3 people on the bank with these chainsaw rods to catch flying fish.
