Not subbed, but thanking the author and hoping all those posts go there, outside of my view.
AI itself is a power that can be used for good, yet people focus on the wrong enemy: we should target corporate cancer that permeates and warps not only AI, but other technologies as well.
Fuck ChatGPT, Bard, Gemini, all that shit - Embrace HuggingFace and things it offers, and pay visit to the AI Horde - thanks our beloved db0 for the reference!
Fuck companies that try to bake in their proprietary models into their operating systems, search engines, you name it, to lead people to adopt the wrong kind of technology - Embrace GPT4All and make it your choice to use open-source, controlled models on your machine.
By sharing general fears of AI as a technology, you play straight into the hands of the likes of Altman, who then turns those fears into reasons to make it a walled garden and shove even more of that shit down your throats.
We should not aim to fuck AI, we should aim for AI not being used as a weapon against us or pushed to where we don’t want it to be. Strive for control over the technology that will undoubtedly change our futures.
3.Arch is more than AUR. It’s a bleeding edge, very lightweight distro. And both characteristics go into Manjaro - granted, there’s a two week review period and some stuff installed on top. At the end, you get a super snappy, super nice system with a lot of value added on top of it.
Let’s just say every device advertising it could work on X meters (square, cubic, whatever) is a lie.
What are the conditions? How pronounced you expect your result to be?
This is especially funny with heaters, for example, when heaters of the same power advertise vastly different area of effect and people go “Oh! This 1500W heater can heat up 50 square meters, so much better than this 2000W heater advertised for 30 square meters!”
Covid itself is known to fuck with the body in a wide range of ways, creating severe long-term consequences for many. We know it’s true, and we know covid has way more lasting side effects than vaccines do.
What is the guarantee it doesn’t cause something very bad to you down the road? Maybe even something we don’t know yet? COVID-19 is not perfectly studied, and what is studied tells us it absolutely can cause problems down the road.
It’s also not safer by the virtue of being “natural” - viruses are essentially pieces of randomly changing encapsulated code injected into our bodies and reprogramming our cells. It could be anything, and I mean that.
Pfizer vaccine (or pretty much any approved covid vaccine for that matter) has little known side effects and is not expected to cause much more going forward.
From all the data we have now, vaccinating is a better pick both right now AND against future consequences.
Also, due to the fast pace of viral mutations, the vaccine will probably be completely useless in the 30 years you suggest.
Absolutely do challenge scientists, no matter your qualification. Sometimes (granted, that’s rare) you might be right.
Just do it in a respectful way and make sure you check your arguments.
Also, while scientists are generally more educated overall, they can absolutely be foolish in what falls outside their scope. “I’m a scientist” is not a valid argument.
Condoms can break and have potential to make intercourse less pleasant, especially for men.
Male birth control can serve both as a backup to a condom and as a way to experience the pleasure of sex without condom while not risking impregnation.
It essentially has the same benefits as female birth control, except men can now be in charge too, and can also use this kind of protection when it is not recommended to a woman for medical reasons. Besides, you can always combine both to make it extra reliable.
Sure, condoms are essentially the only way to stop transmission of STIs during penetrative sex. But when we talk about healthy permanent partners, this is not commonly an issue.
I’m not on Xitter, but I did see attempts to shit on cisgender people, and the word can serve as a slur or even ground for discrimination in certain contexts. Doesn’t mean it should always be considered as such, but, hearing enough of what’s normally going on Xitter, I wouldn’t be surprised there’s a genuine take behind such moderation.
I’d say we shouldn’t strive to play on a level field of vulnerability or opportunities by bringing ourselves down, we should strive to make minorities less vulnerable instead, to care for their struggle.
