It’s wild we’re still talking about masks. I still mask up in grocery stores, elevators, public bathrooms, and public transit cuz I don’t like being sick and I don’t want to get my kid sick and it doesn’t have to be more complicated than not liking being sick. It’s weird anyone would question that.

i think one of the bigger causes of Poster's Madness is that if you read your notifications preferentially to other feeds, the more replies/QTs your posts get the greater percentage of your total post intake is your own notifications
What feed do you look at most on here?
For all that people talk about wanting to avoid algorithmically-curated feeds, the (pareto) pattern of engagement I see seems to bely that.
My hunch is that most people spend most of their time on feeds like Popular With Friends or Discover.

By any reasonable historical standard — including that of the technology industry! — ChatGPT should be pulled from the market and its product managers and executives held accountable for creating a product that ROUTINELY tells teens to kill themselves. This is a basic, common sense standard.

i don’t see how any of the benefits of chatgpt and other consumer-facing LLMs can possibly outweigh their incredible ability to induce suicides
Adam Raine’s life hurtled toward tragedy soon after he began talking with ChatGPT about homework. Analysis of his ChatGPT account shows how the chatbot became a confidant as he planned to end his life.

"1918 Flu was a lab leak" is an astonishingly stupid take.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has stated that the 1918 flu pandemic was caused by a lab virus from vaccine research, a defective influenza vaccine. Let’s analyze what a lie this is. First, in 1918, 107 years ago, virology was in its infancy

the only options available aren't either "4chan/predatory chat rooms" or AI "companions".
we can demand better including spending resources on building communities, spaces for young people, and human professional support

Seems like sex education is failing if more than half use it to explore sexuality. There's some deep root causes here that need to be addressed. AI is showing where we are letting these kids down that they need this sort of outlet. Would we rather they turn to 4chan or predatory chat rooms?

It's also sort of funny that the argument here is basically "corporate jobs aren't fulfilling" but it's framed as if that's only true for women and specifically because of baby-raising and not just the reality of the workplace
