I think that's a reasonable take but I do disagree. Violence is necessary sometimes. You should always aim to avoid violence, but if the other party is not able to resolve conflicts without it, you have to be able and willing to use it as a fallback. If you examine how people operate in situations where nonviolence is not an option, you will notice they suddenly become okay with violence. What is pretty universally recognized as bad is using violence when it's not necessary.
Don't lose faith. The media, and your brain, have a very strong incentive to focus on the negative things in the world. Are there horrible, disgusting things happening every day? Yes. But you're looking at billions of people, and filtering to see only those things. If you walk around and take a look at what your average person does every day, it's generally pretty neutral. Maybe some good things. They stop and let another car go ahead of them. They say thank you to the barista. They hold the door for someone at work. Maybe some bad things. They send someone an undeservedly snippy email. They make a joke in poor taste. They take too much grilled chicken from the salad bar.
Some people are worse than others, definitely, but most people are not evil; it is just much easier to notice when someone's bad actions affect you. Similarly, it is easy to see when your bad actions affect others. But do you think the few truly evil people in this world are walking around wondering if they're good inside and trying to be better? This effort to improve and act well towards others which holds value. I posit that there is no such thing as a good person. There are good actions, and trying to do the best ones you can, when you can, is the best you can do. You will make mistakes, but it is always better to continue trying. I wish you luck, and the chance to see yourself and appreciate what you see.
Giving up and saying everyone sucks is a symptom of someone who does not want to believe that it is possible to try and succeed to be good. Because if nobody can be good, then it is easy to feel okay being bad. Don't let yourself make this excuse.
Yes, LLMs appear to be much less useful in the lifesaving department. I'm sure the info they give has been helpful to someone, but the psychosis stories are insane.
I wouldn't be so sure. Fitts's law is well-known and could easily have been in the right state for this story to be true at the time. I remember learning specifically about how it applies to the corners of ths screen in a Human-Computer Interaction class once.
The existence of that store feels more like a statement than a business decision
