heisenbarbz - [People without chronic illnesses will never understand what it’s like to have to live every moment thinking about how much energy you have and how you have to use it to do what needs to be done. Even on very good days you always have to make sure you don’t overdo it so that you can be okay the next day.]

🌱 20 new Sick Times Supporters signed up yesterday to help our nonprofit newsroom become more sustainable! ☀️ Can you help us sign up 20 more today? 🌷 Monthly donations at any amount make a huge difference in our ability to grow our Long COVID journalism! the-sick-times.fundjournalism.org/donate/
White and chartreuse text on a solarpunk background reads, "The Sick Times. No denial. No minimizing. No gaslighting. No AI. No paywalls. No corporate influence. 2. Thermometer graphic in which The Sick Times' fundraising goal is represented by a row of pixelated hearts, as you might see in an old-school video game. The hearts are all black outlines, and the first one on the left is filled, the second one shows a little bit of red. Text above the hearts reads: "The Sick Times - Goal: 200 new monthly supporters." Underneath the hearts, there is a cartoon drawing of a field with flowers.

When you see the story about how the world now has its first trillionaire, and when you see the story about how laboratories in Congo have run out of supplies to test for Ebola, it is important to understand that in many ways these are the same story.

Unsurprisingly excellent piece from Ted Chiang about LLMs and particularly about Claude. Claude (or any other LLM) is not conscious or "intelligent" in the general understanding of the word, but if it were, then it would be, essentially, a slave. www.theatlantic.com/philosophy/2...

No, Artificial Intelligence Is Not Conscious
Taken to its logical conclusion, this line of thinking is absurd—and damning.

If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access to care. Spread the word.
“Screenshot of a promoted Reddit post by u/AYAGDOS. The post reads: ‘Navigating gender dysphoria? Join our confidential, cross-country study of 18–25 year olds to tell your story, challenge preconceptions, and have YOUR experience reflected in the science.’ Below is a banner graphic with the Northwestern University logo and the text ‘TRANS OR GENDERQUEER? SHARE YOUR STORY.’ The image shows a close-up of a hand with light pink nail polish, partially painted blue, held up against a blurred background. A link to ayagdos.org and a ‘Learn More’ button appear at the bottom, along with Reddit vote and share icons.”

If even one person is coerced into MAID because of solvable social issues like lack of housing, the government has failed us and MAID is no longer ethical as it currently is. .. and yes, many people who were not terminate and only needed help have already be euthanized. #Canada
Absolutely nothing should be sold for profit if its absence could kill you.
Any modern system where people still die from lack of these resources should be dismantled.

My friend, who until recently, worked for the government keeps sending me updates about research grants being cut, and so I asked him if he thinks people will die due to these cuts, and in response he said “it’s not that people will die, it’s that they’re being killed.”

The complicated part about the male loneliness epidemic is that, it's very real, in the sense that social media made us more disconnected than ever. Unfortunately, the people that cornered tackling that subject are all "and it's femoiiiiiiiids fault, bruv !" grifters.
