- Comment on Whether you use AI, think it's a "fun stupid thing for memes", or even ignore it, you should know it's already polluting worse than global air travel. 2 days ago:
Frankly focusing on the carbon output of AI models is a red herring. It’s not a significant part of the problem and just makes people complacent in the form of feeling like we’ve achieved something if it succeeds. It’s not worse than stuff like video games
Focus on the actual negative effects of AI, but carbon intensity isn’t a major one

I’ve literally seen people argue that since breast milk is unpasteurized then raw cow milk is fine

A joke doesn’t work when it’s indistinguishable from the stuff that people actually say
You are on a written medium, where there is no tone, body language, or otherwise wider context. What do you expect to happen? People can’t read your mind
- Comment on Internet discourse is wonderful 2 weeks ago:
It’s the “Pills that make you green” comic, and it’s an intentionally thinly veiled metaphor on trans people
- Comment on And they even get a seizure when you take their ipads away 2 weeks ago:
The thing that would scare me the most is that the parents don’t even know that such things are possible on their devices
Maybe my opinion of others is low, but I find it highly unbelievable most would even realize that something like programming is understandable, or tinkering around with music, or other stuff along those veins. Maybe drawing is still realistic them
But that would just go to show that there’s a lack of all of this in the first place, even for parents
- Comment on And they even get a seizure when you take their ipads away 2 weeks ago:
If you block any of the unproductive apps, and allow only the productive ones, and give the kid “free” access to what they have on the iPad, they will tinker with what’s available
They might fuss around for a bit if they know there’s other stuff, but ultimately they can’t force your hand, and it should still be plenty fun to do the harder things

I somt think it would take a thousand years for modern society. As complexity increases so does the risk for cascading failure
- Comment on This is very funny to me. 4 weeks ago:
Unless they’re like right wing or nationalist, people are in general not in denial about our past. More or less the same as in other countries
Most countries have done horrible shit, and it sucks a whenever it gets denied
- Comment on healthy nutrition 4 weeks ago:
Not necessarily. I’m pretty sure there’s more parts to binge eating than just eating a lot of food in a short period of time. More psychology involved such as struggling to control yourself/how much you eat, and likely involving overeating by a lot
But like, do read up on expert sources than just me

Capitalism directly rewards this kind of behaviour. Maybe it would still be a problem in other systems, but capitalism very much exarcabates it by design.

- Comment on Grok’s ‘spicy’ video setting instantly made me Taylor Swift nude deepfakes 1 month ago:
Uhm, there have been plenty of cases of people getting in trouble for sharing deepfake porn yes. It’s sexual harassment.
Well, at least over here in Europe, and it’s mostly been with teenagers, I don’t know the situation on the US
But generally, making and sharing porn of real people is… well… that can very easily count as sexual harassement

Relieving dehydration does increase athletic performance, however
Now, sure, this might not have any difference compared to plain old water, but the marketing never claimed that!
And yes this sort of shitty trickery is exactly what they’re doing

Yes I know what vacuum decay is, and the thing I referenced, the inflaton field, is a hypothetized false vacuum near the very start of the universe, that went through this exact process, giving rise to our current vacuum and ending the hypothetized inflation era
I know there’s a hypothesis that our current vacuum could be metastable as well, but that’s a seperate thing

Astronomy is critical towards understanding the foundational principles of reality. Observing the universe around us is the guide for where physics should follow
And I think most people would agree that understanding how our world works, the physics of it all, is very very useful in unforeseen ways. Cannot hope to make a circuit if you don’t know how electricity works, right?
