    From Wikipedia

    Psychologists, however, have found that there is no strong evidence for effects on human behavior around the time of a full moon.[12]

    1. “Full Moon Effect On Behavior Minimal, Studies Say”. National Geographic News. 6 February 2004. Archived from the original on 24 July 2017. Retrieved 3 December 2005.

    TL;DR: Overall, studies show different answers, which could be the cause of:

    • Unrelated, manually picked data from some area
    • Small sample size
    • Correlation, not causation (?), though it doesn’t seem to be the case

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_moon#cite_ref-12 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_effect

    Probably a case of: only people that experience out of the ordinary rates or behaviors around those periods or days will speak up about it due to the phenomenon having some popularity, while others forget or don’t talk about it.

    It seems that not a lot of people care about this, and the subject suffers from low sample sizes in my opinion (often around a few thousands at best). Due to the highly random nature of these events, I believe big sample sizes should be required.

    The original definition and ideology of feminism is reaching gender equality in a society that favors men

    I’m just basing myself on this definition. Maybe it changed. Your opinion is valid too in my opinion. In the end, I prefer to see it my way because I can still say I’m a feminist, in the good way

    Feminists rarely if ever disown them.

    I haven’t seen many people talk about them indeed. Maybe because the misandrists are the one who speak the loudest

    What a sad world we live in


  • Coming soon: McDonalds get sued for selling burgers to a minor that ate 3 burgers every day and died! McDonalds must set thresholds per customer and collect IDs from minors!

    I would be for holding companies responsible when they fuck up, like McDonalds clearly marketing burgers to minors and saying it’s healthy, but we must not hold them more accountable than they really are

    The only privacy is local. And actually, given Microsoft, local and Linux-based.

    Soon: huggingface gets sued because hosted models are being used for getting drug recipes, or did not actively prevent people from killing themselves through it

    By the way, I was recently testing https://nano-gpt.com/ which claims to have privacy through TEE models… but I don’t see how it’s private in any way? It just guarantees that the output went through some TEE, but it doesn’t guarantee that the input and output didn’t leak elsewhere or got logged



  • Sadly, indeed

    People paying everything by card won’t be interested anyways, and that’s a LOT of people

    I’ve heard that in countries with bad economy there’s still some usage, but nothing incredible

    I’ve met people who are in those types of countries and they told me they mainly hold crypto to avoid the enormous inflation of their currency, and pay with it or exchange when they want to spend it. Basically an alternative to exchanging fiat to another fiat

    Then you’re basically making a ROM and there are many small detections for this. Many apps rely on proprietary closed source code like google play services

    You will be able to do some things, but it will be a massive pain. Android is big, really big. Emulating will just mean you’re running Android all over again (and it’s often detected). Making a fork is a lot of work



  • They definitely prefer to spend their money on development, rather than adding safeguards

    I don’t believe people misusing ChatGPT helps them in any way, it’s just that adding protections has a cost

    but they aren’t able to tell when a child is at risk and report it as well?

    Maybe police actually sorts and filters manually reports, but doesn’t want to bother with mental health things? You know how the USA works, I don’t believe OpenAI will go too far, they’ll just randomly report.

    Might even be reported for all I know, sometimes I just like to see the reaction of LLMs when I say I’ll commit horrible stuff like school shootings or terrorism. The NSA will just feed it into their mass spying algorithm to check the most important profiles and this will be it

    The war on drugs is so much more important than mental health detection, y’know. It sells more.




  • Uses a tool the bad way despite it being public knowledge that it’s bad for mental health

    Was predisposed to mental health problems

    Died, partly because they talked to a chatbot

    “It’s the chatbot’s, creator fault”, despite the chatbot never being made to cause those problems, and efforts being made to fix those problems

    Yea nah, it’s just anti-ai people doing their thing again and not being objective.

    Get a better fight, such as hating on pharmaceutical laboratories companies pushing the use of extremely addictive substances for profit, despite them knowing the immense risk they cause to consumers, and financing false ads to make it safe.

    If Sam Altman belongs in prison, it would either be:

    • Because he’s destroying the planet (ecologically)
    • Because he stole lots of content to train his models
