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.

Jon Stewart has been problematic on disability for a long time. He's on the board of Next for Autism (an ABA-focused charity) and has not listened when autistic people have tried to educate him about the harms of ABA or get him to learn from autistic lived experiences. So this is not a surprise.
Dear Jon Stewart c/o @weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social
I recently watched, with great surprise and disappointment, a weeklyshowpodcast segment in which you and other "personalities," gleefully mocked and derided the relatively small subset of individuals who continue to wear a face mask in public.

many trans people this year have lost access to healthcare no doubt, but it could've been so, so much worse.

Flex posts protect cars, not cyclists. Or pedestrians.
Quarterly @mcdotnow.bsky.social check: now a downed flex post and two downed pedestrian signs on Blair Mill Road at Eastern Drive.
Fix: these measures having been ineffective, close the road to vehicles.

SUVs and big Utes "are 44 per cent more likely to kill an adult pedestrian or cyclist in a crash compared with a sedan, and 82 per cent more likely to kill a child" www.theage.com.au/national/vic...
Pedestrian fatalities reach 17-year-high. This trend could be why
Fifty-one pedestrians had been killed on the state’s roads this year as of Saturday – the most in any calendar year since 2008.

The other piece — beyond neural tube disorders — is folic acid plays a role in lowering cardiovascular disease risks, and reduces stroke risks in people with high blood pressure. So this is also targeting brown adults as well as brown babies.

Yay, folic acid!

Kennedy says adding folic acid to tortillas is “waging war” against poor residents. Folic acid has long been added to cereal and bread and the CDC website currently says it’s safe for those with the mutation mentioned in the thread Kennedy is replying to.

"People are fleeing your city because of bad public policy" is a real problem....but "slight tax increases on the wealthiest" is not remotely a major factor.
It's annoying to see the hand-wringing over a small number of wealthy people making empty threats to move because of tax increases, when there are actually people leaving desirable places en masse because they can't find affordable places to live
