To address both you and the person below you: he deliberately gave himself lead poisoning on national television by inhaling the concentrated vapor of leaded gasoline for over a minute. He did this not because he was ignorant of the health dangers of lead (he had already had lead poisoning TWICE BEFORE), but because he was purposefully misleading the public.

Thomas Midgley, Jr

Invented CFCs like Freon, which caused the hole in the ozone layer, and then later went on to pioneer the use of lead in gasoline, which is estimated to have resulted in the cumulative loss of millions of IQ points from humanity during its use, not to mention lead-derived cancers and other illnesses.

Possibly the single greatest negative contribution to the environment and humanity.

I have a long-term art project on the list where I carve a runestone and just leave it in the woods somewhere.

I said laws in general, not TV censorship.

We’ve got plenty of issues in the US, but let’s not pretend the UK is a bastion of freedom in the world.

I can still wear a “From the River to the Sea” shirt in the US.

Because “goddamnit” is a blasphemy, and the vast majority of laws in the world were written by religious zealots of one stripe or another.

Not really logical, but that’s humanity for you.

“Well, fuck me runnin’.” would certainly be…logistically challenging.

It would be an absolute deal breaker for me. There has never yet been a commercially available AI that doesn’t hallucinate, and there’s no element of my healthcare where I’m comfortable having facts be unreliable.

Money.

The answer to any “Why is company X fucking everyone?” is always because it makes some asshole somewhere an obscene amount of profit.

To explain: weed needs to be converted into a form your body can use to get high. In flower and concentrates, those compounds are expressed by heating to combustion temp. In edibles, the conversion is done during the cooking process. You’d be putting something that needs to be BURNED into your 98.6° system. All its going to do is sit in your bloodstream like a solid lump of tar, block shit, and cause an infection.

Like expecting your Lambo’s engine to be fine just pouring heavy crude into it.

Injectable weed does not exist. You will die.

Any spontaneous outpouring of anti-AI sentiment gets a thumbs up from me, whether it’s people’s pets, vacation shots, or code they wrote.

Celebrate the human. Shun the Abominable Intelligence.

They’re projecting their voice upward so it will carry farther. Wolves howl just as much when there’s no moon as they do when the moon is full.

But he loves you. Just look at that blep.

I knew exactly what it would be. Watched the whole thing anyway.

I call Dr. Zaius.

I wish I could upvote this more than once for the reminder that the entire purpose here is that there are no stupid questions.

In the form of some sort of record of user inputs, like a chat log between two humans, sure. Other than that, I sincerely hope not. Remember, LLMS and everything else we term “AI” is just predicting the statistically most probable answer to a question based on its training data. It has no concept of truth nor any way to evaluate it.

Bots. Bots as far as the eye can see.

The fact that your moral line isn’t that people are innocent until proven guilty, and that all people deserve the impartial application of justice and due process is worrying, to say the least.

Maybe take some time for introspection.
