Werner Herzog directing a Maybelline ad: Perhaps she is born with it. What a frightful notion, to be imbued with the fetters of capitalist commodification from birth. It suggests God Himself is a part of our dreadful pattern instead of a refuge from it.

That would be harder it breaks security. Certain headphones when you hold them into an android or iPhone pop up a pairing dialogue. It often pauses music too. You can have the Flipper pretend to be all of these headphones. It will spam the Bluetooth beacon messages that cause the prompts to show.

"I want to become a monster hunter," the young man said. "Any advice?"

The old moster hunter thought. "Those determined to find monsters," he said at last, "will always find them."

"Great! Anything else?"

"Always ask who decides what makes a monster." He paused. "And why."

Not 1 journalist who sold a story to a publication partnering with OpenAI consented to have their work used to train the engine of their obsolescence. This is a moment in journalism (and other industries, but this one is mine) when the unions we built over the last decade will have to fight hard.
