  • problem: actual mental help has low availability

    solution: ai can stand in where needed

    outcome: ai mental health systemically expands while actual therapists remain inaccessible, as insurance refuses to cover them. mental health outcomes systemically worsen across the board.

  • Hm, that is unexpected. obviously that doesnt include the full manufacturing carbon cost of a rocket but it's probably close enough anyway.

  • i highly doubt 10 years is even remotely close to breaking even on a rocket launch.

  • many techbros think this unironically and do hire preferentially asian male employees. google famously got in trouble for this.

  • homeostasis as a word certainly existed at this time, but in the biological sciences, and means a system which is self regulating. Im sure that would have changed their opinion on the piece somewhat had they found out.

  • have you considered for a moment, i know it's crazy, that two authoritarian states historically gnashing at the bit to go to war might be doing this of their own volition?

  • why do you care that someone didnt say it was worse enough? "x is a problem, if y is true then z is a problem" -> "why didnt you talk about x"

    silly.

  • Because these are often sold with profile building features, for example, recall. Recall is sold as "local only" with profile building features. So it continues to be centralized pii that is a point of failure. As the quote says, as i said.

  • I don’t care if your language model is “local-only” and runs on the user’s device. If it can build a profile of the user (regardless of accuracy) through their smartphone usage, that can and will be used against people.

    emphasis mine from the text you quoted…

  • building and centralizing pii is indeed a privacy point of failure. what's not to understand?

  • US bill to ban Israel boycotts faces right-wing backlash over free speech

    Jump

  • that case specifically did not ultimately have broad implications, but similar cases largely affirmed that vendors can refuse clients based on speech they disagree with. however generally these cases have simply danced around the issue. The general implication seems to be you can't simply discriminate against people based on their identity, but you can refuse to associate with speech content which you disagree with. this isnt set in stone exactly but it seems like this:

    You cant refuse to make cakes for black people, but you can refuse to make cakes which say "BLM", or in the other direction, refuse to make maga cakes, or cakes with swastikas. Can you refuse to cater for say, the rnc? i would imagine so, but it technically isnt addressed that i saw. Can you refuse to cater for a known nazi? Maybe? Probably not technically just by them being a nazi.

  • China is building a cyber army of hackers, report finds

  • what a strangely passive aggressive and rude response. if you want a comment written in your voice and chosen thoughts, you are free to do so.

  • This is (deploying malware and backdoors outside of wartime, often widely) criticisized very often and rightfully so. By both cybersecurity people and various political leanings, especially leftists.

    Your analogy is good. These things are often intended to kill, and are often countervalue (read: target civilians). It is in fact bad no matter what state does it. It however should also come as no surprise that all states variously want to, though for example the usa has historically gone back and forth on how selective they are for many of the reasons you state. Though other reasons include things like not revealing exact capabilities by releasing malware ahead of time to be spotted and studied.

  • It is not a privelege, it is something being deprived from people by an ever increasingly fascist state. You do not fix a problem by copying it, the other user argued for disenfranchisement, for genocide.

    Somehow on beehaw, arguing that it's mass disenfranchisement or mass executions of roughly a third of the united states, over 100 million people, is fine for some reason. injustice now is not solved by injustice tomorrow, and any person who argues for mass genocidal disenfranchisement is, in fact, a fascist.
