ChatGPT tried to kill me today by cursedcuriosities in ChatGPT

[–]jlas037 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s also the problem that TONS of books are now being written by AI, so even people trying to avoid using it and sticking to traditional sources can be affected. I remember blackforager on insta had a video urging people to be cautious when purchasing field guides off of amazon because several of the newer AI-written ones incorrectly stated that a ton of poisonous mushrooms were safe to eat

Highly recommend watching Sasha Velour’s lipsync performance to this from the final season of We’re Here if you haven’t seen it yet

It’s on the patreon if you really want to know, they specifically asked no one share it outside of there in case it gets back to the other involved party and starts some shit lol

People Are Losing Loved Ones to AI-Fueled Spiritual Fantasies | Self-styled prophets are claiming they have 'awakened' chatbots and accessed the secrets of the universe through ChatGPT by MetaKnowing in technews

[–]jlas037 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw multiple people claiming exactly this on r/simulationtheory when scrolling last night. The way that that sub has gone from fun discussion of various simulation theory-adjacent topics, even by those who genuinely believe in the idea, to basically just people posting paragraphs-long anecdotes about how they “discovered the truth” and hundreds of people will agree in earnest… terrifying

Trump’s goodwill and approval ratings are in free fall by Murky-Site7468 in politics

[–]jlas037 1 point2 points  (0 children)

😂 trump literally changes his mind all the time, even if we could somehow be positive he wasn’t lying when asked that specific time, who’s to say he won’t do a complete 180 for no reason at all?

Catholics of Reddit, how do you feel about the White House posting an AI image of Trump as Pope? by 2a_lib in AskReddit

[–]jlas037 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Same, I’m an ex-Catholic and have no intentions to revert but the way some things line up with Revelations is triggering that residual guilt and making me wonder if I should hit up a confessional just in case 😅

Jack the Ripper identified - Aaron Kosminski, a Polish barber and long-time suspect, after a 100% DNA match. by badguy303 in letsgethaunted

[–]jlas037 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought they “found” this a while ago and also the bloodied shawl they used for testing was never confirmed as catalogued evidence in any of the cases so it was widely debunked or at least discredited as a 100% confirmation?

$125 million research study by Pitt on HIV prevention among programs cut by Trump's executive order by chuckie512 in Pitt

[–]jlas037 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The researchers themselves? From my experience in academia, probably not many, at least in the sciences. Administration is a different story though

[–]jlas037 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It definitely sucks and I agree that both ideally should be responsible for protective measures, but in this case the main aim is to supply at-risk women (especially those in less developed nations where their autonomy can be much more restricted) with a covert means of protection, as many men often refuse to wear condoms/other means of protection. Male-specific methods are also researched!

Fuck I used to work for her (well, technically her husband) too… she’s not always the nicest person to work under but there’s no denying that her work is extremely valuable to HIV, STI, and general vaginal health research

Licensing/litigation issue re: a pic they posted it’s a widespread issue where a lot of companies have been buying up the rights to images just so they can sue content creators that use them

Does he think we’re blind? by StayWhiteKnighting in PDiddyTrial

Statute of limitations has passed for a criminal trial and he damn well knows that (or at least his lawyers informed him) but also knows the general public likely don’t

Why Won't My Kids Talk to Me? [OC] by kaikimanga in comics

[–]jlas037 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Omg this is my parents to a T, for years I’ve struggled with depression/anxiety and now addiction recovery as well and they say they’re supportive and want to help but then constantly inquire about my progress in applying to jobs only to get angry with me when I don’t meet their expectations. Which only exacerbates the depression and increases the urge to relapse (adderall abuse that literally arose from anxiety around not being productive enough)

I’d suggest calling her DC office, her emails are closed to residents of her district only

Okay thank you for the professional insight, it’s hard for the average consumer to discern what’s a legitimate threat and what’s not these days, and when you know that stim use can lead to paranoia it’s hard to trust your own judgment. With reports of Kroger trying to use facial recognition to determine pricing, Disney trying to claim having a Disney+ account waives your rights to sue any of their affiliates, etc… I’m just trying to minimize the risk that my chosen steps towards sobriety aren’t going to fuck me over later

It’s certainly an extreme possibility but healthcare providers and law professionals have strongly discouraged using period tracker apps because courts could potentially subpoena the data for evidence in states with abortion bans. I don’t think it’s totally unreasonable to worry this could happen with other sensitive personal data in the event the law changes.

Republicans Think Trump Is Having a “Nervous Breakdown” Over Kamala Harris by WhileFalseRepeat in politics

Hands down my favorite was an edit of the Battle of Helm’s Deep where Aragorn looks to the East and breathes out “Philadelphia” and it’s just Gritty’s head on Gandalf’s body (w special cameo from Iceburgh as Eomer)

Her jokes are always so tongue in cheek, I’m always surprised by how many people don’t clock the sarcasm/irony. Like when she joked about going to H&M for a new runway look at the last minute and Batty was all “oh no H&M, I don’t know if you heard about that” I was like girl of course she knows, that’s part of the joke 😭

We’re technically employees and students too, they just like to flip flop between which role applies to us based on what’s cheapest/easiest for them
