Sure if you think that AI spiraling out of control is equally as likely as a magical fairy in the cosmos.

It's not nearly as annoying as being tricked into reading them.

Both ways involve sophistry. If you don't like dirty tricks, statistics isn't for you.

Stock art food doesn't usually look unappetizing and bizarre.

Memory already declines with age. AI slop threatens to warp those memories further.

I understand that internet adoption wasn't universal in 2000. You're saying they refused to get it because photos took too long to load. That's an absolutely absurd statement.

You haven't made any specific claims to engage with, just vague polemics.

The amount of strawmen and false equivalencies here is crazy. I bet you can't name one person who refused to get Internet because photos don't load fast enough.

Cute phrase, but that's not how it's used.

Another sweeping claim that doesn't actually say anything. How is it the "exact opposite"?

The Paris Accords have very specific policy goals. Your criticism is incoherent.

A data breach could leak into search engine results, sure.

You still haven't checked the ToS: "use automated scripts to collect information from or otherwise interact with the Services" — this covers the entire scraping operation. "make unauthorised copies, modify, adapt, transl

The user only gave TikTok permission to use the videos according to the ToS. And considering the majority of TikTok users are children, I think it's hard to justify morally, even if you could make a legal case.

It's definitely not a strawman. Perhaps you meant that it's a false equivalency, but I don't think that's true either. With how common data hacks are, why wouldn't a reasonable person expect their medical records to

Any company could potentially be hacked, so by that standard all data is public. And no, the ToS is legally binding on the company as well.

by breezybottom 23d ago
What is "public" data? It admits to violating the ToS.

We'd still be living in caves if there weren't people like that.

Yes, the medicalization of normal human experiences is lamentable. But grant money doesn't appear without diseases for pharma to treat.

Sounds like you're just defining ADHD to mean whatever you want it to mean. Thankfully we didn't have TikTok to diagnose hyperfocusers like Einstein with a brain disease, or we never would have got general relativity.

Sounds like it's just telling you what you want to hear. ADHD is when you can't focus, or when you focus too much. Really meaningful label then.

by breezybottom 27d ago
ADHD is an inability to focus. ChatGPT diagnosed you incorrectly.

Because the shoes fits. Racing thoughts, high energy, highly distractible, detachment from reality and delusions of grandeur. Next comes the crash.

A bunch of highly paid administrators were hired to use AI to generate it.

I'm shocked, shocked, that they recommend hiring more administrators and forming more committees to study the problem.

If you're hacking a US-based entity, using a high-performance Chinese model through a VPN is probably safe enough. I doubt a local model is going to be sufficiently smart to hack any major company.

I don't think it's a question of design. Some ideas in stats are just fundamentally unintuitive. Pedagogy can help mitigate this, but it would take a revolution to fit it into a neat and intuitive framework, like calculus.
