The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

a stated objective of scanning all communications for certain key words. iirc, privacy concerns compelled Congress to defund the project, but the suspicion is it was simply driven into the DoD's classified ops, so it was hidden from Congress. I would imagine AI would make that program vastly more efficient, because they would no longer need a human to look at the context that a key word was used in

For a few years - until I got tired of it - I would finish emails to my sister:

"Bye for now
- Little Brother

bomb terrorist hijack Obama anthrax
(note to NSA: Hi, guys! Hope you're having a good Friday!)
"

I'd scramble 4-5 key words out of a list of a dozen or so
