Oh yeah, location sharing will have almost no effect those risks. Totally agree.
Just disagreeing that

Risk assessment is probability and severity. The probability can be vanishingly low, but if the severity is astoundingly high then acting like a high risk situation could be appropriate.
Take asteroids. The last planet killer to hit us was 94million years ago. A rudimentary estimate could put the probably as 1:94mil. (That is much less than the murder rate in America at 6.8:100,000). The severity of an asteroid impact of that magnitude is off the charts, so it is reasonable to consider it a risk and act accordingly to spend resources to search for and track asteroid trajectories.
The severity of abduction, murder, and rape is probably pretty high for most people, so considering it a risk even with a very small probability is not unreasonable.

Luckily Lemmy isn’t that popular yet. (Plus we’re all poor.)
- Comment on Microsoft announces new Windows changes in response to the EU's (DMA) Digital Markets Act for EEA users, including Edge not prompting users to set it as the default unless opened 1 month ago:
I agree it feels very slow, but identifying the correct action and then building consensus around that action takes time. Once consensus is built it is very stable though. That is supposed to be the biggest benefit of democracy; stability built through coalition.

1 fascist beating ~= 10 citations.
Get to it, bud!

Surprisingly, Star Wars is a great example of this. A rinky dink political group (rebels) blowing up a military installation (death star) is terrorism. That does not mean the action was unjustified.

There’s also ancient Greek and Rome which were republics 2000 and 2500 years ago.
- Comment on We like music because our brains crave pattern recognition. 6 months ago:
I agree, LLMs have the amazingly human ability to bumble into the right answer even if they don’t know why.
It seems to me that a good analogy of our experience is a whole bunch of LLMs optimized for different tasks that have some other LLM scheduler/administrator that is consciousness. Might be more layers deep, but that’s my guess with no neurological or machine learning background.
- Comment on We like music because our brains crave pattern recognition. 6 months ago:
This is a cool take! I don’t think I agree though. I assume we developed pattern recognition before music/language. Many animals have the ability to note attributes about plants and animals even without the ability to communicate complex ideas (ie language or oral tradition). I assume that type of pattern recognition was a good blueprint for functions like music and language, but my guess is it started from a general pattern recognition, then was retuned for music and language.
Again, pure speculation, but there is some logic behind it!
