Voice of Shannon would be nice.
Wouldn't it be nice, and EFFICIENT, to have a news aggregator that let you hear ONLY actual information by the Shannon definition? It would filter out all the default stuff, the automatic stuff, even if the default stuff is falsely portrayed by other media as SHOCKING.
Supreme Demons order millions more babies killed? Sure as sunrise. Filter it out.
Supreme Demons allow a state to make its own laws for a few milliseconds? Wildly grotesquely unexpected. Send it through.
Republican politician charged for "ethics"? Sunrise. Skip.
Democrat policitian charged for "ethics"? Real information. Send it through.
Tribe member charged with anything at all? EXTREME news, but physically impossible, so it's a null point.
Hollywood creature "comes out"? More certain than sunrise. On the level of "existence exists".
Hollywood creature is found to be heterosexual? Beyond impossible. Hypernull point.
Referendum canceled by a court? Sunrise. Skip.
Referendum allowed to take force? Let's hear it!
Brexit fails? Normal. Default. Skip.
Brexit succeeds? GENUINELY astonishing. All the indications, not just the media shit but the valid paranoid indications, pointed to Remain.
Brexit is allowed to take force? Physically impossible. Null point.
= = = = =
Overall, then, any news that would count as actual information is impossible, so the Voice of Shannon would be silent.
