don’t understand what they’ve written
Well first of all, they didn’t write it.
- Comment on Scientists discover promising new way to filter microplastics out of human body: 'The dose makes the poison' 6 days ago:
It is not expensive, assuming you don’t mind giving someone else your microplastics. In fact, you can get paid about $100 to do it in most places. How? Apharesis is exactly what is performed when donating plasma.

Someone wearing a mask tries to kidnap you, draw your handgun and put a hole in their face. I’m surprised this exact situation hasn’t landed in the supreme court yet. Pretty sure it won’t be favorable to the masked goons.
- Comment on For the first time, social media overtakes TV as Americans’ top news source 1 week ago:
At least with social media, you can choose what content to engage with or scroll past. A lot of TV news is fear mongering non-news entertainment. I don’t care that someone got arrested after a high speed chase. I don’t care about someone’s dog charity. What your local Sinclair is peddling, let alone Fox, is just about getting you to come back over and over for the ads, and it’s a continuous feed of trash somekne else is deciding to put in your face and dub important.
- Comment on In this day and age is it possible to create a commune? With majority of vegetables coming from one acre and all put in to get wifi to our subdivision? So the bill is not that high? 1 week ago:
Try looking for crops to grow that are nutritious but relatively low maintenance. Sweet potatoes, sunchokes, groundcover strawberries, asparagus, cherry tomatoes, etc. Bonus if you can grow excess to sell at local farmers markets for some extra income, though the easiest the grow ones probably won’t fetch a great price. Also, look for native options. Less maintenance, and local pollinators are more likely to help out.
If you’re not squeamish, rabbits breed very quickly and just eat grass. Chickens are good for eggs and meat.
- Comment on WADA calls on US to stop 'dangerous' Enhanced Games 2 weeks ago:
Nobody is forcing athletes competing in this event to seek medical approval and prescription for the use of performance enhancing drugs by physicians with no moral qualms doing so. Witka is not any athlete’s personal physician, and is not qualified to speak about medical concerns. WADA’s role is to serve sporting events by preventing performance enhancing drug usage that those events consider unfair during competition.
If someone is choosing to take a performance enhancing medication and is harmed by it, that’s between them (or their estate 😂) and their doctor, and whatever malpractice suit is brought about to a court of law.
- Comment on The Wikimedia Foundation Pauses an Experiment That Showed Wikipedia Users AI-Generated Summaries at The Top of Some Articles, Following an Editor Backlash. 2 weeks ago:
Summarization is one of the things LLMs are pretty good at. Same for the other thing where they talked about auto-generating the “simple article” variants that are normally managed by hand to dumb down content.
But if they’re pushing these tools, they need to be pushed as handy tools for editors to consider leveraging, not forced behavior for end users.

Just donate plasma. Works great, gives some other schmuck your plastic.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
It’s a bit strange to think about, but our brains seem to have adapted to information accessibility today by more readily remembering how to find the information instead of the information itself. (See Betsy Sparrow et al)
- Comment on Apple just proved AI "reasoning" models like Claude, DeepSeek-R1, and o3-mini don't actually reason at all. 2 weeks ago:
Humans apply judgment, because they have emotion. LLMs do not possess emotion. Mimicking emotion without ever actually having the capability of experiencing it is sociopathy. An LLM would at best apply patterns like a sociopath.

- Comment on What is people who are drug heads always caught with guns? I have done my fair share of weed mushroom X and such but it never crossed my mind to say hey right now i need a gun. 4 weeks ago:
When you’re involved in drugs, you are pretty likely to regularly interact with sketchy people who make you feel unsafe for one reason or another. That goes for both dealers and consumers, though moreso on the dealer side.
- Comment on Large Language Models Are More Persuasive Than Incentivized Human Persuaders 5 weeks ago:
Well yeah, they have no natural aversion to lying and manipulation.
- Comment on Anthropic apologizes after one of its expert witnesses cited a fake article hallucinated by Claude in the company's legal battle with music publishers 5 weeks ago:
But it legally doesn’t. That is why AI has not taken over in high liability fields. Morons are testing the waters and learning that AI mistakes make no difference in a court room, and if anything are grounds for further evidence of negligence.
The big bet now, I think, is whether those popup insurance policies regarding coverage for losses relates to AI usage end up profitable. If so, that is what will lead to truly dystopian stories like “AI piloted passenger jet crashes, United Airlines fined x million dollars but happily continues using AI pilots because insurance covered the fine and it’s just a cost of doing business”
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Idk, but I use Boost and added some keyword filters. Stuff like “trump”, “musk”, “israel”, “slam”, etc. And any time I still run across political crap, I either block the community or the user. Lemmy has been great now afterwards, no politics.

Social media has been a toilet for a decade, but people keep drinking the shitwater. Making it more turd flavored will do nothing.

- Comment on Most Americans think AI won’t improve their lives, survey says 2 months ago:
Mayne pedantic, but:
Everyone seems to think CEOs are the problem. They are not. They report to and get broad instruction from the board. The board can fire the CEO. If you got rid of a CEO, the board will just hire a replacement.

- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
Why is the village depopulated, if there’s a huge industrial zone nearby presumably with lots of employees? I was thinking workers might want to buy or rent low cost housing near their workplace if the land is zoned for it and you could get electric and a well. But if they’re not buying in the village, might not be a great idea unless there’s something wrong or lacking with available properties in the village.

- Comment on Could a US state prevent its citizens from paying federal taxes? 3 months ago:
Maybe. But the biggest employers are national if not international. They’re gonna withhold federal tax.
- Comment on Could a US state prevent its citizens from paying federal taxes? 3 months ago:
No, businesses directly pay the federal government. More insidiously, it’s impossible to opt out if you’re employed full time; you have to be self employed to get to decide when/if/how much tax you send the federal government.
- Comment on France runs fusion reactor for record 22 minutes 4 months ago:
The idea is to have water or molten salt cool the walls of the torus from outside, and those drive ordinary turbines like any other generator. The main issue is that particles fly out of the confined plasma donut and degrade the walls, whose dust flys into the plasma and reduces the fusion efficiency. They’re focusing on the hard part - dealing with the health of plasma sustainment and the durability of the confinement walls over time. Hot thing that stays hot can boil water or salt to drive regular turbines, that’s not the main engineering challenge.
- Comment on I'm just like some ordinary dude upset about what the government is doing. Doesn't anyone with any sort of means or influence care? Where are those guys? 4 months ago:
In this case, it is. The Republican candidate actually won the overall popular vote. Was this because of voter apathy? Probably. But we’re talking about “what the people who cared enough to vote” wanted.
