  • More than 20% of videos shown to new YouTube users are ‘AI slop’, study finds

  • I remember a panic some years back about YT funnels of cartoon content aimed at kids, that would lead to weird and sometimes disturbing stuff like "elsa ariel and moana drown together" ... I guess the algo has evolved to target nonchildren now

    Garbage site, even if the Alphabet CEO wasn't an oligarch fash toady. Happily running health scam woo ads and refuses to act on reporting of scam advertising.

  • Whipped cream, the uncool whip

  • After watching the latest Veritasium video: why is the spin of a proton/electron decided at measurement, why not at creation?

  • In particle physics, a hadron takes on attributes like charge, up/down, or left/right by simple addition of the attributes of constituent particles. But in biology, there is not a simple correspondence of any sex chromosome pattern to anatomical sex presentation. X, XX, XY, XXY, XYY, chimeras and more are viable patterns and none of them guarantee presentation as anatomically male, female, or intersex. Different rules at such vastly different scales.

  • Might have something to do with the con-artist/pedo coalition regime bending over backwards to funnel as much money as possible to fossil fuel oligarchs

  • Putin warns that Russia will seek to extend its gains in Ukraine if peace talks fail

  • sometimes nothing is a real cool hand

  • White House is considering reclassifying marijuana to ease restrictions on the drug

  • The con-artist/pedo regime lies all day every day, the safest assumption here is this is just another lie or throwaway distraction.

  • What are your teachings?

    Jump

  • Not only are humans born helpless and remain dependent on caregivers for an enormous extended maturation period - often mothers would not survive childbirth without assistance. Being human is fundamentally rooted in community values, empathy, kindness, sharing, cooperation, generous credit. Any ideology that vilifies these realities is an antihuman perversion, a sickness.

  • dnd character idea

    Jump

  • A more freeform game like Toon! might accommodate your character concept. D&D doesn't.

  • China would destroy US military in fight over Taiwan, top secret document warns

  • As a DEI hire of the pedo-shield con-artist regime, Pete Hegseth is about as credible as a meth-addled mynah bird trained on a dramatic reading of the complete works of James Joyce

  • Do you believe that to love is a choice?

    Jump

  • The word "love" is used in a number of distinct senses. Some aren't a matter of volition - I love a nice glass of Merlot or a mug of ale with dinner, and I can choose day-to-day whether or not to indulge that taste - but I didn't choose the preference itself. It just is.

    In another sense, love is measured in the time and effort you spend on someone's happiness. If I say I love my kids but I don't ever make time to bond with them and demonstrate what it means to be the parent they want and need - then yes we should question if that's really love.

  • Metropolitan police chief accuses Trump of talking 'nonsense' about London crime

    Jump

  • Trump talk nonsense? Is it a day ending in "Y" again already?

  • Carbon nanotubes could power a new generation of flexible solar panels

    Jump

  • I think I've been reading carbon nanotube hype for at least 15 years now, so are they actually embedded in any current technology changing our lives or is this like self-driving vehicles (that don't kill people) and fusion power where it's always "on the horizon" but never quite manifesting?

  • "according to Israeli security officials" is worth about as much as "according to Trump"

    ‘R-tarded’ is a slur, and I’m sick of otherwise “liberal” people going along with the right’s move to renormalize it

    Jump

  • There's a historical cycle where the helping professions rotate the terminology out, as the wider culture overloads the old terms with insulting usage. Eventually the new vernacular leaks out into general parlance and the cycle cycles. "Retarded" was once acceptable clinical terminology because "idiot, "moron", and "imbecile" had accumulated cultural baggage. The latter terms were, themselves, once politically correct alternatives to even older terms.

    I think it's naive to think that THIS time is special, and today's politically correct terminology won't ever leak out into common usage as a slur too.
