  • This is such an important distinction. Current AI is incapable of wanting to cause any of that harm, yet it's already happening. The danger won't be skynet, it will be and always has been human greed and ignorance.

  • A justice system criticised by Iran’s psychiatrists

    Thank goodness. Hopefully they all fight against this blatant exploitation of psychiatry to persecute and control women.

  • Those people you're referring to already have cash they're sitting on. Once you have enough in the bank that your interest is generating income, you're set for life and can continue amassing all the things at the expense of the poor. It's like a game of Monopoly towards the very end. It's the top few players who own everything, and they're bankrupting the unlucky thimbles who land on Boardwalk.

    If you didn't get into the housing market already, I'm sorry but it's not looking good for you if you're not rich. Something drastic needs to happen to put an end to this corrupt system.

  • Hmm, this makes me think of the tradition on certain parts of the internet where people publicly announce the name and crime of this convicted rapist. They'll explain where he's currently living, the name he's trying to go by, and bars he was seen at. This activity seems to stem from the outrage at the excessive leniency he was shown by the judge, although could also be protecting other potential victims.

    I wonder if this kind of vigilante doxxing would fall under the scope of such a law, especially when his name is already in so many publications.

  • The remarks were made by Qiao Jie, deputy of Peking University Health Science Center and a member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, at a conference on Tuesday.

    The population in the Chinese mainland fell for the first time in 61 years in 2022, decreasing by a total of 850,000, data released by the National Bureau of Statistics showed.

    Doesn't sound like clickbait at all to me. The viewpoint appears quite honest and genuine, and they go on to give sources for why they believe this matters. If you have contradicting stats, please share.

  • This is the world we live in. Where a twice-impeached convicted rapist who once represented this country- now has to be warned not to threaten witnesses in a trial where he’s accused of trying to overthrow his government- and… also happens to be the front runner in re-election.

    I'm with you, ready for where you're gonna take me...

    I now give up on America.

    Goddamnit, no. That's not where you take this. You get angry, and you funnel your anger into something positive. You vote, you reach out to people, you contribute your time and energy supporting what you know is right, and you don't stop fighting. Unless of course you truly believe your side isn't worth fighting for. But from your first paragraph that doesn't seem to be the case.

    Fight for what is right because your position is stronger, your supporters are smarter with better ethics. Recognize the dirty games the weak side is resorting to, and be right there to call it out and put a stop to it. We might be seeing the desperate, extreme death throes of a burning Republican party. But if you back off and throw your hands up, you give them the opportunity to manage the fire and keep trying to destroy this democracy.

  • They’re asking the court to get rid of that discriminatory denial so that they will not be barred from fostering or adopting children in the future, in Massachusetts or elsewhere.

    Stop discriminating against our discrimination! Thanks for the good laugh, Michael and Catherine Burke.

  • First the Streisand effect led to her home. Now it leads to her entire discography. Poor Barbara Streisand.

  • This will be why we can't have nice things, won't it?

  • When you have all that money and fame to insulate you, self-preservation is no longer a concern.

  • Not my fault it's so forgettable.

  • Something becoming more than the sum of its parts to such a degree would indeed be magic. Are you claiming we're AI computer programs and that real life is analogous to ChatGPT? Are information and consciousness synonymous? I would say that one of us indeed doesn't understand the complexity of the situation.

  • To be fair, it appears that by definition anyone who disagrees with them might have a hard time getting through.

    skeptical of social change, instead tending to support the status quo

    A more polite way of saying they're firmly stuck in their ways, unwilling to accept a different perspective.

  • And I'm just pointing out how ridiculous their homophobic laws are. There's a disturbingly small step between banning gay watches and banning gay cake.

  • Breaking News: Malaysian officials ban fabulous cake.

    Anyone found baking or possessing kek lapis Sarawak may be caned and could receive a 3-20 year prison sentence, depending on how much of it they ate. Officials believe these intricately detailed and colorful cakes--which date back over 50 years--are part of a time-traveling gay agenda. More at 6.
