I just wanted to point out that the notion of the general public, especially if conditioned to distrust scientists and authorities, not noticing changes isn’t the outlandish part.
I figured, which is why I framed my comment the way I did. You may be able to discount the scientists, but can you discount them, plus citizens complaining about their solar output, power plants having to raise rates due to falling solar generation, crop impacts, and even just other citizens posting raw data all coming out with similar data over time saying it’s a problem?
Having said that and looking at the state of climate change, I have a hard time not seeing the parallels against my argument. But falling solar output would have a much more immediate effect on us than climate change (and would likely reverse it to some extent).

You’re right when talking about the average person with nothing but their eyes. But there are tons of companies and members of the public that have bits of tech that would call that out easily. Solar panels, environmental logging equipment, etc, would notice the drop in light levels fairly easily, and would be apparent when reviewing historical vs current levels, and the power grids would definitely notice the sun dimming dropping their power outputs.
Without going into conspiracy theory territory, there’s no realistic way to hide that from the public.

I’ve never seen open support for Nazis being left up after being reported on instances that haven’t been defederated, so it’s better without question.
- Comment on YouTube to be included in Australia’s social media ban for children under 16 1 day ago:
Seems like a strange place to push right-wing propaganda.
Gamers are easy to rile up, already have exposure to a lot of counter culture language in VC, and generally young or ignorant enough that they can’t see the obvious propaganda they’re being fed. Add into that content creators that intermix rightwing talking points and you can slowly poison their minds into becoming Nazi shitbags.
As the other commenter mentioned, gamergate is where all this shit first came up, and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t there with the people who fell for the poison. I was just aware enough of what I was seeing to pull away from that culture before it really poisoned my mind.

researchers conspired to hide tests to dim the Sun to “avoid scaring” the public.
Because if there’s one thing you can hide, it’s dimming the one thing that brings heat and light to the planet.

It’s almost like Substack has a Nazi problem and has for years.
Stop pretending substack isn’t a Nazi platform, because they actively support Nazi propaganda on their site and have refused to take it down or commit to keeping it off their platform.
Substack is run by Nazi supporters at the very least, which should be enough for people to flee in droves, but more people are ok with Nazis than we want to admit.

Holy shit. The contract that dude signed had a maximum fee of $35 for EV recharge, yet they charged him $277 and claimed the contract allowed that. Thankfully, the worst I’ve had from Hertz is they just told me to fuck off and didn’t give me my reserved vehicle.

Then you can buy nestle products and feel good about it because it’s got the Kroger label instead of nestle, because store brands are generally name brand products in the stores wrapping.

when the reason for the offending output is that the user spent significant deliberate effort in coaxing the LLM to output what it did?
What about all the mentally unstable people who aren’t trying to get to say crazy things, end up getting it to say crazy things just by the very nature of the conversations they’re having with it? We’re talking about a stochastic yes man who can take any input and turn it into psychosis under the right circumstances, and we already have plenty of examples of it sending unstable people over the edge.
The only reason this is “click bait” is because someone chose to do this, rather than their own mental instability bringing this out organically. The fact that this can, and does, happen when someone is trying to do it should make you really consider the sort of things it will tell someone who may be in a state where they legitimately consider crazy shit to be good advice.

- Comment on MIT researchers have unveiled a portable, window‑sized device dubbed the atmospheric water harvesting window (AWHW) that can extract clean drinking water directly from air, even in death valley 4 days ago:
Or is this a situation where you need at modern manufacturing facility to produce one?
Probably the second one:
The team also shaped the hydrogel into a dome-like origami array, like a sheet of bubble wrap. The unique structure increased surface area and maximized how much the material could swell so it would hold more water vapor. The team then sandwiched the gel between two glass panels roughly the size of a small window, both coated with a cooling chemical layer, and added tubing to collect the water.
Assuming I’m wrong, you’d still need a ton of those for a single person. They got approximately 5.5oz in one night from one panel in death valley, but a quick Google says you need about 32oz per hour in high heat. You’d need just under 6 panels/person/hour you need water, which takes away from the idea that this is portable or really usable for hiking when you’d need like 80+ of these things to get anywhere close to having enough water for one day.
