Ha I have this for my dog and I recommend it as it’s basically dog shoes that are so much easier to put on.

Ah yes the classic trolley problem: 1,000 bees getting bullied or a dead cow. Very useful.

Thats not how world markets work though. 20% of meat eaters turning vegan would compound vegan movement more than 50% less meat consumed. The former grows vegan market explicitly while the latter just maybe shrinks the meat market only. You have consider availability, research and development, service, pop culture and the fact that we massive overconsume food so less consumption does not directly shrink the market in linear fashion.

Possibly but you need the context of how actually bad facebook ads moderation is. We already seen almost a billion euro fines for this and it’s just the tip of the iceberg. I work adjecent to scam prevention and facebook ads are notorious for scams and Meya is intentionally loose with moderation because ads make shit ton of money and scammer’s dollars are just as good as any.

So realistically it Meta benefiting from scams rather than pushing some agenda through ads which is still incredibly bad if not worse.

I never said it did

People are reading into this way too hard. This seems like an ad attack which is nothing new on Facebook. As you can target by user preference using: “oh this person from your feed but now naked” to bait a click is classic personalized ad attack. Facebook ads platform needs to be abolished altogether - it’s incredibly unsafe.

Very deceiving article title by arstechnica, disappointing.

More like Trump’s pick for office but since then Proton wised up and put the CEO on mute lol

We already have a perfectly good policy framework for datacenters: just charge them the negative externality costs. The problem is that they want datacenters now and repay external costs like electricity, water etc later because it takes 1 year to build a datacenter but 5 years to route power and water.

We already solve for this with economic credits but people just don’t trust these systems because of corruption and poor governance. The credits never trickle down to people who pay for externalities.

This is not even a datacenter issue.

Honestly I don’t disagree with your take. We should slow down and be diligent with our roll out and policies but sadly that’s not what the mainstream discussion is all about - it’s all so binary.

This story keeps getting parroted and it’s completely untrue. Luddites gained no extra rights due to their actions they gained rights decades later through actual policy activism.

The problem with majority of “LLM critics” is that they are brain dead luddites that argue with ragebait emotion rather than rationality.

Unsurprisingly LLMs are just computers that can be useful, can be wasteful, can be life saving and can be society destroyed - it’s a tool.

You didn’t even make a sound argument let alone a reasonable one.

Relaity is China got out of poverty in spite of CCP not because of it. If they had democracy like Taiwan they’d be more rich AND more free.

Says u lmao

Again you move the goalpost. Sad that you spend so much effort just to boot lick. I hope you get paid at least 🙏

Lol keep moving the goal post boot licker

All I did is call you out that you can’t draw conclusions from n=1 of a policy so you can’t attribute chinese authoritarian policy for “getting people out of poverty”. So your glazing of Chinese autocrats is exactly that - glazing.

What?? Then why even discuss anything about anything?

I’m confused by your reply here. This is entirely limited to this scenario of false attribution. As we can’t verify this in any meaningful extend due to - as you yourself pointed out - every country and culture being invredibly different. So why are you OK with attributing success to chinese policy but not failure?

At the end of the day the historic justification magic doesn’t matter. I see today how unjust and miserable China is despite what tiktok might paint you. Not having internet is my litmus test and China fails this, I don’t understand how can people justify this. And please don’t try to diminish the great firewall of China - it’s really fucking bad.

And lifting 800 million people out of extreme poverty over the span of 40 years, can you name a more successful policy, ever, in all of history?

Democracy. I really hate this untestable argument as if we could go back in time and do A|B test to see which framework would have lifted people out of poverty the fastest. Taiwan is richer and more free than China despite being democratic, so is Japan, South Korea - what now? Which dicks do we measure and do we start at the balls or just the shaft?

This whole thing is so sad. Dude comes out with “I’m addicted to chatting with LLMs” and people pile on him for what? Not saving a glass of water while 100$ says all yall still eat meat and do a billion times worse than burning some LLM tokens? Disgusting responses all around.

In general the AI ludites are so tiring. I wish this energy would be spent on something actually impactful like murdering animals for entertainment - yes thats your cheese burger - but these addicts are quick to defend their own addiction while sneer at other significantly less harmful ones.

Gonna go burn more tokens just for your sake now.
