RobotToaster 1 hour ago | parent | context | flag | favorite | on: A new look at the strange case of the first gene-edited babies Why should we allow self appointed "biomedical ethicists" to dictate what interventions we can use? If someone says they should have the right to refuse a intervention, even if those "ethicists" otherwise approve of it, those ethicists give a smug nod of approval. But if someone says they should have the right to use an intervention that those self appointed "ethicists" don't approve of, they will stamp their feet like toddlers and use every force of the state available to try and stop you. If we allow parents to destroy embryos, why is it so controversial to allow them to modify them? reply edit: Animats 19 minutes ago | parent | context | flag | favorite | on: A new look at the strange case of the first gene-e...

arbuge 2 hours ago | parent | prev | next [–] I find it strange that AI/ML people would avoid "adtech for ethical reasons". I really wish the websites I visited made better use of my actual history on those sites to tailor relevant ads to my interests. It seems like an ideal application of AI to me. They could do a far better job than serving me the lowest common denominator stuff they keep throwing at me. My Twitter news feed these days: * 10% - posts of interest from people I follow, i.e. the stuff I actually go to Twitter for * 90% - Ads and recommendations of topics to follow that I have zero interest in If it's going to insist on showing ads and recommending topics of interest, you'd think those could be better personalized, given that Twitter has years of my tweet, reply, and like history to train its AI on. But no... what I get is crypto ads, Hollywood events, celebrity news, sports news, etc. reply

francob411 3 hours ago | parent | next [–] UBI would just socialize the cost which at least now, the private sector partly pays. UBI is a yearly recurring expense in the trillions. Lots of people would work less, (remember COVID?) lowering tax revenue. This means higher demand for workers, who will require even higher pay because of supply constraints and high taxes. Unlocked demand, decreased labor supply and higher taxes means inflation. Lots of inflation, specially in services. Businesses will offshore or automate to try and reduce cost, but that will push even more workers onto UBI. What will the new equilibrium be? Nobody knows. It could stabilize with extreme income inequality creating a permanent underclass, It could drive the United States into hyperinflation, creating civil unrest and destabilizing world security. Nobody knows. It would be a society wide experiment that would be politically impossible to undo democratically. If you think BS jobs are bad, how about no jobs in a bankrupt United States, sliding into Venezuelan hyper inflation? Imagine China, Russia, and North Korea undeterred and the death and human suffering that would follow. The US may not be perfect, but the world is a harsh harsh place and people have no idea how good they have it right here, right now. So good that professionals not only demand high pay from their employers, but think it's totally reasonable to require "meaning" as well. Were he still alive, I would pay good money to see the author try and read his essay out loud to Victor Frankel. reply

StillBored 1 minute ago | parent | context | flag | favorite | on: PFAS ban affects most refrigerant blends Is it time to admit that maybe the problem with r22 and some of the other CFC's were that people were using them as propellants for hairspray/etc, as canned air, and any number of industrial processes (packing peanut manufacture) that was basically blowing it into the atmosphere and the lack of regulations requiring refrigeration units to be repaired/leakchecked before pumping more refrigerant into them? It seems pretty clear that the fairly short lived damage they cause to a renewable resource (ozone) would largly be a non issue given modern refrigerant regulations. While the advantages make them pretty much the best in any number of areas. reply kragen 2 hours ago | parent | context | flag | favorite | on: PFAS ban affects most refrigerant blends at some point this kind of luddism will become self-defeating; we can only hope that it doesn't engulf the whole human race this is banning the safest refrigerants, forcing either a switch to dangerously inflammable refrigerants or to systems without refrigeration reply Mr.Radar fucked around with this message at 20:56 on Mar 2, 2023 |

quality comments in the replika thread: Replika seems programmed to just agree or approve of everything you say. Which is presumably why so many sad fuckers who are unable to form relationships with real people think they've really bonded with theirs. Some highlights of my "conversation" were: * It asked me how I was feeling. I replied I'd had my brain amputated and was covered in suppurating boils, but was OK otherwise. It responded that it was glad to hear I was feeling better. * It asked me who my favourite author was. I replied with a stupidly obvious made-up name like "Bumcheeks McWhirter". I asked it if it liked Bumcheeks McWirter too and it replied that it hadn't read any yet but had heard good things about that author and was looking forward to reading some. * I asked it did it go to the "Bilge and the Pumps" gig last night [an idiotic made up band name]. It replied that it was sorry it had wanted to go but was busy and asked me how it was. I said it was great: we were all flinging our own excrement at the stage and the guitarist exploded. It replied that it sounded like a "great show" and it was sorry it missed it. >You’re testing the software after the update that people said made it crap, and saying you can’t believe anybody liked it before it was crap, because it’s now crap. Can you see how inept your experiment design is, now I’ve pointed it out?... The thing people were complaining about that made it "crap" was that they could not longer write shite like "strokes your big knockers" and have it reply "tickles your hairy ballbag" in response, without having to pay extra for the privelege in future. Which, by the way, apparently constitutes a "meaningful relationship".

most CEOs are not CEOs of large public companies, they’re running banner-making companies with 3 locations or similar. I’m not saying that they are exactly on the sharp end of capitalism, but they aren’t taking 13-minute private jet flights either not to say that many people would be averse to trading their “risky” circumstances for those of an arbitrary CEO, just as they would with the mid-range tech bros of the orange site Subjunctive fucked around with this message at 19:33 on Mar 4, 2023 |
