- Comment on YouTube's Latest Update Shows That Online Monoculture Is Dead 4 days ago:
It became downright personal for me. Its about accessibility.
My brain works a certain non typical way which is challenging to live with at best.
Sudden advertisements hits me like a physical punch in my face.
The ui focus on everything new rather then a nice subscription view with filters meant i who does not watch daily would frequently miss new uploads from the channels i do like.
I felt like i was in a toxic relationship being pushed to watch on their terms while openly hating that i protect myself from ad-sault by using blockers.
I realize i did not need things to be this way and am smart enough to build and alternative.
Now i have a yt-dlp script downloaded the latest uploads from chosen channels straight to jellyfin and also a selfhosted invidious with custom tweaks for everything i dont want to spend storage space on.
Basicly i take 100% of what i liked and never have to visit the website directly again.
They are waging war on invidious, it breaks on occasion. Yt-dlp though, stable as a rock.

I may have heard a similar thing on a video that compared an elephant sized mouse with a mouse sized elephant.
Neither could survive because evolution designed their bodies for the relative pressure they exist in. This is also related to how fast their hearth beats go.
Human sized bugs could not exist for the same pressure reason also.

- Comment on Do you like the centralized wen of today? 6 days ago:
I dont think the whole web being like the fediverse is feasible
It does not need to be. “Whole web” being a certain way almost implies it all follows the same standards from which point the people who set and develop those standards become the centralised authority.
I like to think of the internet as simply a carrier of digital information. This can be any information. My vpn tunnel is just as much a part of the whole as a public website.
The way i envision a positive evolution is that more people get involved in running their own network, for themselves, their family, their neighbourhood, a global community they are a part of.
They can use the activitypub protocol, a selfmade protocol or any other they want. The only thing that matters is that the people who need and use the digital information can use it.
The public internet dominated by large players will still exist but it will be (and actually already is) a small portion of everything we use the web for.

I thought CoPilot was just a rebagged ChatGPT anyway?
Hahaha. No. (Though your not Complety wrong)
Copilot relies on a few different llms and tries to pick the
best one for the jobcheapest microsoft thinks it can get away with.I was given a paid copilot license for work and i used to have chatgpt pro before i moved to claude pro because chatgpts sycophantic behaviour and altmans manipulatice behaviour started to really bother me.
This “paid enterprise tier” is by far the dummest llm i have ever used. Worse then gpt 3.5

Tbf they don’t really claim that when you read the research, thats mostly media hype and ceo assholes spinning words.
Its good at lots specific tasks like rewriting emails and summarising gives text, short roleplay, boilerplate code. Some undiscovered uses.
Anthropic latest claims they would not hire their own ai because of how hard it failed at the test they give, They didnt do that expecting validation but to measure how far we are still off from ai doing meaningful full work.

- Comment on Why is Lemmy attempting to radicalise people to enforce class wars? 2 weeks ago:
If your feed has lots of ai i would also recommend blocking some posters, though in my experience lemmy has way more anti ai and downvoting of annything ai then whatever is left of the mainstream networks.
Another recomendation is to join a smaller instance you align with, you will have a much better experience.
Yes we do go rather hard left. Especially when it comes to the only war that counts, the class war, ruling elites versus the exploited masses. Its part of what makes this place so refreshing because corporate media heavily dislikes the need for global change.
And yes you can easily get radicalized here, another thing which is refreshing is how up front and not secretive people are about the fact we do alot of self propaganda for our personal flavor of ideals. After all lemmy is not for children (suprisingly many older people) you have to form your own opinions and people tend to be (on average) more respectfull towards diversity in idealogy. You don’t get insta downvoted as much as you get honest replies of someone wanting to discuss it.

My 15+ years of research on the topic is solid tyvm.
My understanding of both biochemistry, psychology and autism itself is also advanced enough to form an educational opinion on any research i read.
The facts i give you can easily be verified and have absolutely nothing to do with big pharma.
I have to question your ability to perform research because it seems to be “Everything that disagrees with my initial belief is conspiracy”
I am very anti big pharma btw, some of the drugs they give neurodivergent kids is incredibly dangerous. They simply dont have annything to do with causing autism.
- Comment on But I am mighty!! 2 weeks ago:
Thats a cute observation but real facts are the following:
-
Autism was only formally recognized in the 1940s - there’s no reliable data before that, though historical evidence suggests autistic people have always existed. For decades, people deemed “mentally ill” were institutionalized and hidden from society.
-
The majority of autistic people can mask their traits and present as neurotypical - they had strong incentives to do so given the historical stigma.
-
Diagnosis happens more frequently in areas with accessible healthcare, which naturally are also areas with higher vaccination rates.
-
We now have better diagnostic tools and a less punitive society for people with neurological differences. The diagnostic criteria have expanded significantly - many people (especially women) who wouldn’t have qualified under older definitions now do.
And if we want to include the more modern research done by the autistic community we learn that autism is a part of a bigger phenomenon called neurodivergence which includes adhd and many others. Who also used to be completely excluded by the dogmatic labeling of neurotypicals.
Also you referring to autism as a serious disease shows how little you actually know about it. Just like anyone else neurodivergent people can have psychological disabilities but because they are neurodivergent those disabilities are often different from neurotypical ones. In ““high functioning”” autism disabilities are subjective in context of living in a neurotypical world and are increasingly less disabling with social acceptance and understanding.

Feels weird that i have to explain this, but not all Research is funded by big pharma.
The majority of research on autism is not about Vaccins either but about understanding the many properties from which it emerges.
However by understanding what autism actually is, which is often studied by autistic researchers who are motivated to understand themselves better it becomes self evident that we are far from reaching a technological point where we can create a drug to cause or even simulate the nature of autism.
You could just aswell claim that vaccins cause people to shapeshift into cats, if you understand the subject matter thats just as non-realistic
If you want to bash vaccines you could state that an experimental accidental wrong mixed variant could cause death. Which would still be an incredibly unlikely freak accident but at least reality allows the technical possibility for such a mistake.
- Comment on But I am mighty!! 2 weeks ago:
Autist here who loves to read research about autism.
There is absolutely no correlation between autism and vaccines. Neurodivergence cannot be caused by immune system problems.
People are born autistic with a brain programmed by their DNA to form alternative neurological connections compared to neurotypicals. A neurotypical cannot be turned/mutated into being autistic and vice versa.
The only correlation that exists is that people who are neurodivergent are prone to develop some unhealthy habits (from extra stress, sleep schedules, and being a picky eater etc) which in turn can lower your immune system.

Remember how China is a police state and Chinese companies have to provide state access to all their data which is why you should not use Chinese technology.
The U.S is maybe 2 thin documents different in how it’s setup. If you use U.S products then privacy from the US gov is an illusion.

I dont want to clean all that. Neither would my family. I definitely dont want frequent other people as staff to clean it, disturbing our peace or rummaging though our stuff.
I could just sell it and stay living where i am but i have serious questions about this salay and where it comes from? I don’t need your capitalism blood money and i dont want to be used as some psychological example of “look at this winner, you can win too”.
I dont want to have media at my door to interview the person that was given uber wealth.
I dont want to be part of the billionaies that i believe should not exist.
The tuesday driving thing would technically not be an issue because i refuse to drive a car also.

The message in detroid become human seems to be we would go full extermination out of fear of losing our spot on top of the foodchain. Which does seem plausible.
What i really didnt like though was how androids were designed to suffer
had no ability to shut themselves off, if you kept abusing them they react and respond like real people. They where forced to stay sentient in their single body.
This is also why they had to experience standing in the back of the bus just for the narrative. Could have just send a drone. Could also just shut down the body while traveling and do something in cyberspace instead.
If there is one thing certain about digital “life” its that it wont have the same restrictions as us and a body is optional and basically a set of clothes.
