I can’t stress enough that this notion of if and when It will gain consciousness is Bible fanfic. It’s not real.

"Yeah I get that, you get even richer if I buy your thing. But what do I get out of it?" And these guys are so massively, incomprehensibly disconnected from normal human reality, encased within an ecosystem of absolute sycophants catering to their every whim, that they can't understand the question

Dear tv and radio producers. Thankyou for the invitation. But, no, I do not want to appear on your show to defend the idea that I am English, after 50 years of living and working here, because the increasingly feral right want to turn this into a "debate" and you cannot see how you're being played

UNLIMITED VELOCITY
One of the ways that LLM-authored code improves productivity is by merely SAYING it does things. It's way faster than the whole time-consuming process of actually doing things. This is real code someone sent to me for review.
A screenshot of a code editor. The line numbers are in the lefthand column, running from 121 to 125. There is a comment that says "Verify packages were created and check sizes" Then line 123 says echo Verifying Lambda packages were created... and Line 124 says echo checkmark emoji colon All Lambda packages verified successfully. There is no line in here that actually did anything.

People don’t want to hear diseases just happen. It scares them to death. They need it to be because of malign actors or because they didn’t take the right thing. The fact that it could happen to anyone, anytime, just because is terrifying because you can’t control it. Whether autism/covid it’s fear.

Vaccine conspiracism is overwhelmingly clustered among the religious, white and affluent. It’s a function of conservative ideology and bad faith media. Being nicer to MAHA types will not ‘bring them into the fold,’ it will only increase their sense of entitlement.
Objective: Strengthening of antivaccination movements in recent decades has coincided with unprecedented increases in the incidence of some communicable diseases. Many intervention programs work from a deficit model of science communication, presuming that vaccination skeptics lack the ability to access or understand evidence. However, interventions focusing on evidence and the debunking of vaccine-related myths have proven to be either nonproductive or counterproductive. Working from a motivated reasoning perspective, we examine the psychological factors that might motivate people to reject scientific consensus around vaccination. To assist with international generalizability, we examine this question in 24 countries. Methods: We sampled 5,323 participants in 24 countries, and measured their antivaccination attitudes. We also measured their belief in conspiracy theories, reactance (the tendency for people to have a low tolerance for impingements on their freedoms), disgust sensitivity toward blood and needles, and individualistic/hierarchical worldviews (i.e., people's beliefs about how much control soci hould have over individuals, and whether hierarchies are desirable). Results: In
order of magnitude,
antivaccination attitudes were highest among those who (a) were high in conspir-
atorial thinking, (b) were high in reactance, (c) reported high levels of disgust toward blood and needles, and (d) had strong individualistic/hierarchical worldviews
. In contrast, demographic variables (including
education) accounted for nonsignificant or trivial lev
f variance. Conclusions: These data help
identify the "attitude roots" that may motivate and sustain vaccine skepticism. In so doing, they help shed light on why repetition of evidence can be nonproductive, and suggest communication solutions to that problem.
Keywords: vaccination, conspiracy beliefs, health communication,

I do not understand the "fairness in sports" thing, in part because it isn't a thing, but also "fair to who" is always the question. People who are taller have an advantage in basketball. Does that mean we ban tall people? Why would THAT be fair?

Why should I stock my shop with products made a company that clearly doesn't care about knitting or craft? Details as to what's wrong in the ALT text.
An image provided by the brand KnitPro to promote their knitting needles. It is AI slop. It has two different boxes of icons to list the benefits, some of which are duplicated information. The icon above Seamless Knitting is a jumper with seams. The icons don't really make sense with what they're saying. The knitting shown is complete baloney. The headline is Knit In The Round With Confidence. The knitting show is flat knitting which is inexplicably connected along the bottom to the cable of the round needle. The fabric blurs from right side to wrong side of stockinette. It also changes direction, a column of stitches warping into a row. Pink knitting is on the needles with pink and white stitches, the white stitches at some point becoming the cable, although the rest of the cable is purple. There is no yarn attached. The stitch being worked makes no sense, with two abstract stitches sort of vaguely attached to one stitch in a way that doesn't work as an increase. I am not pictured buy know that I am becoming the Joker.
