At work we used to say that “security puts the ‘no’ in ‘innovation’”. H/t Baggott if he’s reading. ;-)
It can be secure..... Or it can work. Not both
Choose two from: security, accuracy, and speed.

#122Absolutely random thought semi-related to the topic. This is one of the better voice clones of Musk but it's still really bad because he never lost his whatever accent, and every voice clone I've heard (mostly the ones on fake Starship launch videos) speaks with perfect American accent. Something to think about I guess :)
South African accent is the one you're looking for.

What makes you so sure it’s a clone? I see a lot of impressionists doing Elon and some of them are really good.

Sorta, he has a blended accent of upper-class south african that has been americanised.
You will be hard pressed to find south africans with his accent.
For specifics of what I mean, the breathy “â” (as in, a posh british person saying bâth) is present, but so is the american hard-R.
He has a lot of stubbed tones in words like “heart” though which is clearly very south african.

#127Political satire is the best form of satire, but someone should hack them in the other direction too.
Like what, making fun of poor disenfranchised people instead of rich people with vast power?

Yeah, PSAs are dystopian, ads designed to get me to act against my best interests are the sign of a functioning non-dystopian society.
I really do not understand people complaining about PSAs. Like learn some emotional maturity? If you weren't going to do the thing they're asking you not to do, then the message wasn't directed at you and you can go about your day just fine.

#129I wonder how soon it will be before some company starts renting these out from the city for ad space.
I'll take garbage ads over dystopian "the city implores you to " messages any day.
I think these PSAs are for kids and people who might not be familiar with the norms (such as tourists), and for that purpose, they’re worth having.

Fifty four percent of Americans read below the sixth grade level. All effective PSA's must primarily target people who don't understand the world around them, and likely never will. It's not condescending, because it's not targeted to you.
You are implying that people don't understand the world if their reading level is low? Maybe your literacy level is high, but perhaps your level of understanding people could be higher.
If your attitude to learning is wrong in a particular way, then reading will only make you more steadfast in your beliefs.
