This shit with Cloudflare right now is exactly why it's such a dumbass idea for so many tech companies/services to depend on any one company.

HOLY SHIT. They found the genes for fibromyalgia - and it's *not* autoimmune, it's the central nervous system. It's very cool to see some progress made on the thing that's ruined my life since late teenage years!
Medical Republic: 'Fibromyalgia finally gets a genetic fingerprint'
'Additionally, certain risk loci overlapped with long covid (BPTF) and ME/CFS (OLFM4, RABGAP1L/GPR52), two poorly characterised disorders, albeit with different lead variants.'

Guess whose fault is this?
The International Energy Agency once predicted that demand for fossil fuels would peak this decade. But as global commitment to climate change policy fades, so have hopes of hitting "peak oil" any time soon. Here are the IEA's new forecasts.

Moscow would like the conflict in Ukraine to end as soon as possible, Peskov said. He added that Russia is open to a political-diplomatic resolution, the situation is "stuck" not because of its fault.

I agree, adding that I’m very concerned about its effects on adult brains too. I think it’s much more psychologically dangerous to interact with an LLM designed to reflect your own ideas back flatteringly than to post on social media, where someone will always be ready to call you a c***
I personally am significantly more worried about the effects of LLMs and AI video slop on children’s brain development than I am about even social media. I am very worried that our school systems and laws are pushing kids toward AI artificial “friends” while banning social apps.
Yeah I think there are going to be more families who do the equivalent of “we don’t own a TV, we simply all sing madrigals around the piano by candlelight for entertainment” during these next decades. There isn’t a safe amount of AI slop for kids to be exposed to. So if a platform has it: then no.
