- Comment on Imagine if the only thing limiting your dreams was a livable income 1 week ago:
I chewed on your comment for a while before writing this, but I think I (also controversially) agree with you. The employer-employee system is cold and uncaring, as per its design. No employee should expect some sort of ‘special recognition’ from their employer, and no employer should expect to receive more labor than they pay for. I think a lot of the replies you are getting are geared more towards how people think things OUGHT to be, i.e. an infusion of humanity and caring/emotion into a cold, mechanical socioeconomic system that treats people as cogs. I imagine you and I are approaching this from different perspectives, but at the end of the day your employer is NOT your friend. They do NOT have your best interest. An employee should NOT go above and beyond, unless compensated fairly for doing so. [Disclaimer: I am (probably clearly) one of those lefties that does not support the current socioeconomic system and I think things OUGHT to be different, but they arent.]

Exactly this. Just left iOS and got a pixel8a and flashed grapheneos on it. Apple is doing the same shit. GOS might be a pain in the ass sometimes but I feel much better knowing that Tim Apple isn’t reading my texts and monitoring my bank apps so they can target me with ads.

valid.
- Comment on From Snoop Dogg to Lap Dogg 1 week ago:
no. Snoop is a fucking idiot and this comment is stupid too. Watch this: “Same sex couples can adopt kids that don’t have parents of their own”. DONE. Your comment reads like it was copy/pasted from 1980 about how interracial dating is an abomination but you just changed a few words.

- Comment on The Era of 'AI Psychosis' is Here. Are You a Possible Victim? 1 week ago:
In addition to this, I was just thinking about how many kids are asking questions to LLM’s that just a few years ago they would have asked friends or their parents or a mentor. A whole generation that will be used to taking advice from a black-box LLM.
- Comment on AI can find cancer pathologists miss 1 week ago:
After reading the actual published science paper referenced in the article, I would downvote the article because the title is clickbaity and does not reflect the conclusions of the paper. The title suggests that AI could replace pathologists, or that pathologists are inept. This is not the case. Better title would be “Pathologists use AI to determine if biopsied tissue samples contain markers for cancerous tissue that is outside the biopsied region.”
- Comment on AI can find cancer pathologists miss 1 week ago:
From the peer-reviewed paper: “This study examined if artificial intelligence (AI) could detect these morphological clues in benign biopsies from men with elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels to predict subsequent diagnosis of clinically significant PCa within 30 months”… so yes, these were men who all had high cancer risk.

Its a shame that I assume this article is written by an LLM, prompted and edited by a person, and thus I have little will to even read it.

this reads like an aged alchemist who is convinced he’s on the cusp of finding the philosopher’s stone
- Comment on Why do neurotypicals like AI slop? 4 weeks ago:
I see AI as a positive because it undermines the monopoly on intellectual property of capitalists I would contest that it does the exact opposite. Massive companies have been given free reign to legally steal (see Meta’s plagiarism/piracy court docs) from the entire internet. They then roll out the ai model, that they own, which can recreate things (art, writing, technical docs, etc) that are amalgamations of all the stolen work. They then sell subscriptions for people to use their ai, funneling people away from paying real artists.

Done. Zuckerberg is now starring as Joel in The Last of Us.

Love the writing in this article. Fuck Zuck.
- Comment on What do you call the first person with a new genetic mutation 1 month ago:
“A person”. Every single person has genetic mutations that differentiate them from every other person. Now if their mutation happens to be wings or something, then I don’t know, ‘Bird-Person’ probably.
- Comment on Scientists make game-changing breakthrough that could slash costs of solar panels: 'Has the potential to contribute to the energy transition' 1 month ago:
Adding to what the others wrote, solar cells become less efficient at power conversion (light -> electricity) as the temp of the solar cell materials (semiconductors) increases. So the issues is how to get more photons to the semiconductor without heating it up.
- Comment on Scientists make game-changing breakthrough that could slash costs of solar panels: 'Has the potential to contribute to the energy transition' 1 month ago:
Adding to what Eldest_Malk said: They aren’t just putting a new type of lens over standard solar cells, they are also designing/fabricating custom cells to work with the lenses. [I’m not a PV expert, but the fact that the IEEE paper focuses so much on the cells and not just the lenses leads me to believe that the lenses can’t just be used with whatever standardized solar cells are on the market]
- Comment on Scientists make game-changing breakthrough that could slash costs of solar panels: 'Has the potential to contribute to the energy transition' 1 month ago:
I just skimmed the IEEE paper (peer-reviewed, solid journal); The usage of ‘slash costs’ in the title is entire sensational. The tech gave a SLIGHT increase in efficiency (which is good news - marginal improvements are still very good and can be game-changing if scaled up), but there is no cost/benefit analysis in the paper regarding the additional costs of lenses and whether the increased PV efficiency would offset those costs at scale.
