Oui.

If other comments don’t get you sorted, Scrounger does it nicely. (if you trust some random site/ have no sensitive bookmarks; other options exist if not.)

Hmm. Are you asking in good faith, or to dogpile? Anyway, sure; I can explain why.

The Gruesome - clickbait because “if it bleeds it leads.”
Story - words like “story” are often plainly false when the article is a tiny blurb or fluff piece. Thankfully, this article is an actual story. But remember, it’s still bait.
of How - clickbait because it asks a question it doesn’t answer, baiting the headline-reader to click.
Neuralink’s Monkeys - oh, another Elon Musk altar. The press can’t get enough of Musk.
Actually Died - more bleeding leading.

Headlines can just be content, rather than a tease. This article title intentionally relays no new info.

Ah, so I was wrong. Gotcha.

Clickbait headline, no tldr? That’s a downvote for me dawg.

Hmm. I’m new here. Why is this post getting downvotes (with no comments about why)?

Edit: I originally phrased the question to be about “no-comment downvotes” which is too easy to misunderstand. I rephrased it since I do see downvotes, and thought downvoting was for content that doesn’t fit the community, or for other objections where it is expected that people would comment their objection rather than silently downvote and move on.

anti-clickbait tldr: system uses facial recognition, complete with the expected false positives, false negatives, and bias.

Key passage:

Clear’s methods determined its facial-recognition system to enroll new members was vulnerable to abuse, said people familiar with the review, who asked not to be identified discussing security-sensitive information.

The computer-generated photos of prospective customers at times captured blurry images that only showed chins and foreheads, or faces obscured by surgical masks and hoodies.

The process — which allowed Clear employees to manually verify prospective customers’ identities after its facial recognition system raised flags — created the potential for human error.

Apparently last July “a man slipped through Clear’s screening lines at Reagan National Airport near Washington, before a government scan detected ammunition — which is banned in the cabin — in his possession.” And he’d “almost managed to board a flight under a false identity.” The TSA checkpoint found the ammunition, which is what it is supposed to do. This had nothing to do with his identity. There’s no suggestion that the passenger intended to do anything nefarious.

Paywall. tldr?

Guessing… corporate incompetence and scaling problems and logistics and “muh supply chain” nonsense.

“I go though”

tldr: Landlords using AI to screen prospective tenants, complete with AI errors and discrimination.

anti-clickbait: the sub is /r/malefashionadvice , currently set to private.

tldr past clickbait: astronomers can be expert witnesses just to testify about “sun in their eyes” or “saw it in the bright moonlight from the full moon” in response to direct witnesses’ testimony. They know exactly where the sun/moon was.

a Canadian biomedical scientist, a structural engineer from Virginia, a physician from Illinois, and a Romanian biochemist.

…well, that rules out all the notable applicants I was rooting for.

Paul Simon, 1941–

Had to check. He’s not dead, folks. It’s a “salute” to Paul Simon, not a memorial tribute.

or maybe Cloudflare just considers you risky

Jokes and whinging aside, you’ve touched on the real complaint, or mine anyway. They should toss me a cookie or whatever. OK cloudflare, my request is coming from a nasty network; but you declared ☑ my browser to be fine and me to be human and our “connection secure” two minutes ago. Remember my browser, pretty please?

Garbage tech. Makes me hate the sites using it, just like Google’s dumpster-juice tier captchas. Might not be so awful if they made it stick, but these tech leviathans can’t manage it apparently. I click over to a site I’ve never been on. Cloudflare: 😲🫴🦋 is this a botnet?

tl;dr: steganography
