  • ‘Get Rid of MAHA’: Trump Alliance Cracks as Climate Denialists Turn on RFK Jr.’s Movement

  • There's yet another study about how bad AI is for our brains

    Jump

  • The propensity of the average person to simply believe what they’re told is staggering, and I know because I do it all the time. It takes effort to seek out information, vet it, consider it, and then make a determination on the next information to seek or the next course of action. Deterministic, trustworthy information and abstracted concepts are extremely valuable to the brain, an organ that consumes roughly 20% of our body’s energy.

    Before, computers performed tasks that were impossible for the human mind. Machine learning has been automating tasks impossible for humans such as computer vision or large dataset processing, but chatbots are the first technology that has really enabled automating human thought. In this new sense, directly offloading this cognitive work to a computer is literally letting it think for us.

    The more reliant on this mode of thinking we become, the easier it is to transfer cognitively expensive work to a device that externalizes that energy cost. However, the trade-offs that are emerging are:

    • Internal electric brain energy is traded for relatively inefficient external electricity production to feed circuits.
    • The words generated by LLM’s must still be verified and combined into coherent, dependable ideas and actions.
    • The drive and skill required to develop good ideas that have value is degraded without constant practice.

    In the end, it becomes only a slightly less amount of work to perform the same thinking process for checking and mentally processing the output of an LLM chatbot, which defeats its purpose. If you skip that step of contextualizing it as possibly representing corporate interest and diluting meaning while offering a juicy cognitive shortcut, you’re becoming willingly complacent in your own digital brainwashing. This effect is also emergent and automatic; it doesn’t even have to be of nefarious purpose, it seems to be a procedural consequence of this mode of thinking.

    What I really fear, and what is also emerging, is that eventually AI agents will become so advanced and trusted that their end-to-end capabilities will make mistakes and ulterior motives impossible to spot, and that they will become completely above the capability and desire for human scrutiny.

    These digital brains we trained on all of human knowledge are now in the process of training us.

    Christians of Lemmy, how do you feel about the U.S. president posting an Al photo of him as Christ?

    Jump

  • I think Trump is definitely a Christ-like figure when I remember that Jesus was executed by the state for leading a rogue political movement.

  • This guy has never had any clue what he’s doing, only what he wants and how to get it. Now, he’s finally hit something completely out of his grasp and just like any narcissist, he’s not handling it well.

    He will continue to chew through the entire world consuming people, economies, countries, and society until he’s stopped. This is the danger of dictators.

  • It delays the problem for six more years, and it also gives me the satisfaction of pirating testing the only decent version of Windows free of Microslop bloat and vibe coded react.

  • If you want to attend “conversion therapy” as an adult, by all means do so as it is your right to control your own body and mind. Furthermore, parents have the right to raise their children as they see fit, and should have wide latitude in deciding the best way to do that.

    However, forcing minors into these “programs” commonly amounts to child abuse and in some cases, torture. On top of being exploitatively expensive, they also don’t work. They need to be abolished.

  • Tennessee House passes transgender registry bill

    Jump

  • A related measure advancing through the legislature would compel providers to submit extensive details about care, including age, treatments, and geographic data, to the state, which would then publish aggregated reports. While the bill bars the release of directly identifying information, privacy experts warn that the level of detail could still make individuals identifiable, particularly in smaller communities.

    Not, fund, not study, not regulate, not analyze, collect and publish.

    Data does not need to include name address and phone number to be personally identifying. Furthermore, how is it that the state can compel the collection of extremely private health information?

    This is designed to endanger trans people and discourage them from seeking medical care.
