Well when you look at the cost of insurance, learning to drive, and cars themselves, when housing is more expensive than ever, and many jobs accessible to 19 year olds don't pay particularly well, is this surprising? The assertion that

I mean, we can tell it's not about free speech because it specifically allows you to target gay and trans people, calling them mentally ill, but not religious people.

In what way is not recommending content, or demoting it in feeds, coercive? I'm sorry, but maximalist free speech positions fail in the face of reality.

Although when designing audio solutions for large venues, the further back a speaker stack is, the more you'll likely want to add a delay to it so that the sound hits at the same time as the sound from speakers closer to the stage - ot

Having a piece of content removed, or demoted and not recommended, is being held responsible? Also as per the inquest into the death of Molly Russel found based on the preponderance of evidence, exposure to this kind of graphic content was

And Facebook don't allow pornography either. What point are you trying to make here?

by philjohn 2y ago
I'm not talking about that here - and that always fell under protecting voice - if mistakes were made they should have been reversed on appeal. e.g. imagery of healed scars in the context of recovery, discussions of struggles with ment

Can you share the negative consequences of not allowing, and not promoting, graphic images of self harm and suicide on a social media network please?

Absolutely they should, and when I worked there that was known as "protecting voice", that content has always been explicitly allowed because it is free expression, even if reading it can be difficult for some people. The same wit

The ideology of ... not doing something that could make adolescent (and adult) mental health worse, to the point of suicide? Yeah, making that my ideology is a hill I'm willing to die on, sorry.

That ignores the regulations in the EU, and the UK (coming into force this year), and also the huge volume of lawsuits they are facing in the US. Does everyone remember Zuck turning around to apologise to the parents in that senate hearing?

Which block did you go with? I went with the EK Vector special edition which has been great, but need to look for something else if I upgrade to 5080 with their recent woes.

Fingers crossed.

Automatically demoting, not recommending and adding "mark as disturbing" screens is what's going away - which is akin to the "R" rating. But at this point, I'm siding with the "no social media for adolesce

Would you mind expanding on that please, what are the ethically problematic things you are trying to balance against this?

Which is why we should research this carefully - and the research thus far points to consumption or graphic or even borderline depictions of suicide, self injury and eating disorder content (eg thinspo) being bad for mental health in at lea

by philjohn 2y ago
Indeed. The human cost of a piece of content being taken down depends on the piece of content, and the reason behind posting it. In the case of someone posting about recovery from self injury and including a photo of their healed self-harm

Are we arguing that graphic images of suicide and self injury are required for open discourse?

They've also said there will be more harmful (but legal) content on there as they'll no longer automatically look for it, but require it to be reported before taking action. As someone who worked on harmful content, specifically s

I worked on the Suicide and Self Injury team at Facebook. It was multi faceted, and whilst out of the door escalations (to emergency services) is one metric, it was a guardrail - i.e., if it went down it's likely something was wrong, n

It feels like the fitness brands need to come together and shut out the BT SIG and all fitness profiles should come out of that new consortium - which would be a formalising of what Wahoo did with the Kickr protocol.

Not entirely. TRAINING an LLM requires a lot of compute. Running inference on a pre-trained LLM is less computationally expensive, to the point where you can run LLAMA (cost $$$ to train on Meta's GPU cluster) with CPU-based inference.

Yep - I bought a Xerox colour laser printer a few years back (C405) and it's legit one of the best printers I've ever had, and runs circles around the last colour laser printer I had (a Canon). Just works on any computer that sees
