  Yep, in many cases that could be a major improvement.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Comfy cozy⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The negative impact is real and very important. And in the future it can be even worse.

  I love your username, I used to use it on another platform.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree. I just percieve OP’s post as trying to find a lable because they just want to know whether there is one. It’s ok to want to know and telling them they don’t need it is not helpful.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK You don't need Teflon pans for nonstick⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not doing that. As I said, I use lower temperatures.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK You don't need Teflon pans for nonstick⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep, I’m trying to use lower heat to not go over the smoke point. Canola oil has pretty good properties, so I use it. It is possible to overheat not just the oil, but also the other ingredients, so it’s good to limit the heat. That’s why I’m interested in the lower heat use possibilities of pans different materials.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Of course you don’t have to fit a box. But it’s easier to communicate your preferences if there is a lable you can use for yourself. OP is trying to find out if there is such a shortcut they could use. Explaining that they don’t necessarily need to do that is not helpful.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep, but sometimes you want to communicate about your preferences, and then you need understandable terminology. Giving names to phenomena is generally useful. Discussing things is useful. Understanding natural diversity is great and important.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK You don't need Teflon pans for nonstick⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You seem to be experienced with pans of different materials and you opened a topic I have no-one to ask about, so I’ll try here. I don’t use much oil and I like cooking on lower heat to avoid the carcinogens that are created when oil and other substances get too hot. Is it possible to do that with non-teflon pans? What material and technique?

  Thanks

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People have private conversations on speaker phone but if I participate then I'm the crazy one⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You can listen privately, but you have to speak normally anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People have private conversations on speaker phone but if I participate then I'm the crazy one⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  People have private conversation face to face in a crowd as well - sometimes some things need to be talked about right away and the anonymity of the crowd makes it feel private enough. If you don’t know the people, then you know the convo is none of your business - so if you join in, yes, you’re viewed as the crazy one, or at least the one with not enough social inteligence.

  I agree, but that doesn’t change anything, right? Even if you are in the 2% most intelligent and you’re somehow immune, you still have to live with the rest who do get influenced by AI. And they vote. So it’s never just a they problem.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I do think people without direct experience are unable to understand the depth or the totalitarian evil. It’s just too terrifying to accept that one can be trully powerless, that any kind of resistance can lead not just to the destruction of themselves, but also their families, that the degree of bullying and control can be so high and the regard for human life so low.

  It’s too scary, so normal human minds just refuse it as a possibility and try to imagine more optimistic scenarios.

  It’s healthy not to lose hope, but it’s also not good to underestimate the evil and unfair to look down on the people facing it.

  I’m doing it the latter way. I chose 1.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how do I avoid becoming conformist, lazy and completely incapable of learning something new?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Many people lose the mental capabilities they used to have when they were young, so they become unable to act the same way as they used to. They often lose the ability to learn new things. We’re talking 60+, so there are hormonal changes that can influence both the physical and psychological side of a person. Just stay young in your head is an advise similar to saying “cheer up” to a depressed person. The mental decline is probably partly genetic, partly pure luck or lack thereof, and a minor part can be influenced by lifestyle. So I guess try to influence what you can, excercise, eat healthy food, read, meet younger people and hope for the best.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how do I avoid becoming conformist, lazy and completely incapable of learning something new?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  One thing is to identify the bad behaviour in others, to see you’re doing it yourself is much harder though. People often don’t realize they’re doing something they hate in others.

  That’s not the same as just letting an LLM to halucinate a whole article from nothing - which it sounds like when you say it was written by AI. LLMs are not a bad tool for translations, they have to be checked well though. Working with a language is the one thing they can actually do - unlike giving real answers.

  Yup, how dare women enjoy sex!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A weird phrase is plaguing scientific papers – and we traced it back to a glitch in AI training data⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  No, they were not. AI was probably used for translation.
