A number of smartphones have a dictation feature. You speak into the phone and what you say gets rendered, on most occasions, as somewhat legible text.
The phone isn't doing it, of course. Your words are sent to a server, which does the actual work, and then sends the text back to the app that you are using.
The security of that is probably piss-poor. It wouldn't surprise me if there is some algorithm to detect criminality and alert the authorities.
So what would happen if people began gaslighting it? Maybe open a message block, dictate "Jeff is going to buy 50 grams of smack in the high school parking lot tomorrow afternoon" and then delete the draft text. Probably be a good idea if the name that was given wasn't in the list of contacts.

If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

to every message you send.

Dates back thirty years; maybe time to port that lisp to phones??
What works for a cell phone works for a blog comment, too. I hear Donald Jr. is MSCJ to Brazil for asylum. Plans to spill lots of Heinz 57 varieties. Sources say it's a giant can of worms. Personally, I'm betting the evidence is in Ivanka's underwear drawer. The one one in New York. DEPANTIWAID-Cat-5 anybody?

Ask and ye shall receive? iOS emacs
ReplyDeleteI'm not messing with it --- requires a dev environment that's probably too much for my iphone.
The stock linux gnu emacs still includes M-x spook text. I didn't know it was there! Kind of dated keywords. "enigma" ??

It'd be funny, in a theoretical way, to put the phone next to a TV running old episodes of 24, or new episodes of Homeland.
