Idiots and voting against their own best interests
1·1 day agoIdk just thought it made for a cool shot
31·1 day agoAs much as I dislike Windows and smartphones the current nature of the world is that that are all necessities for most people.
Windows just has so many programs built up with it over the years and it’s really hard to convince people to jump to Linux and deal with all the compatibility problems. Things are getting better, but right now it’s like real time raytracing with how it’s perpetually 4-5 years away from being realistic.
Smartphones are an absolute necessity for the vast majority of people. If you don’t have a laptop or some other computer your phone is likely the only way you are able to apply for jobs nowadays. It’s also the easiest way to access your banking services with plenty of banks offering online banking now. Let alone social media and how important that has become in everyday life. Sure dumb phones can handle calling, texting and voicemail but for most people that isn’t enough anymore.
Our mental health and the demands of the modern world are at odds. I doubt we can or will ever go back to simpler technology because of the way things are in the world.
Nnnnoooooooooooooooooo!!!
I was really hoping it would help with this since I have a disability that affects the joints in legs and my knees hurt the most from that. So this isn’t really anything too interesting, but still kinda neat.
13·3 days ago5 seconds, I have no faith in these people
15·3 days agoI’ve never thought of anyone supporting LLMs in any sort of positive light. The ethical questions behind the creation of the largest models alone should have been enough to kill the tech in the first place. Let alone the insane environmental impacts and how this tech has undo any slight progress we have made in slowing climate change.
We are so fucked as a society if we continue letting corporations run wild and unchecked like this for any longer.
In the European theater? Maybe on the western front you could argue that was true but absolutely not on the eastern front. The Red Army was the cause of so many rapes and warcrimes on their way to Berlin. Not to mention their occupation of Eastern Europe, setting up on puppet states and later genocide in Eastern Europe. The western front also had plenty of rape cases caused by an army passing through. Definitely better than the eastern front but still heavily impacted the regions they passed through.
The Pacific theater is a bit of a question mark. The Japanese were absolutely awful, worse than the Nazis in quite a few ways. But from the sheer intensity of the fighting over here it is not a pleasant experience for anyone involved. Especially if you were a Japanese citizen during the island hopping campaign. There are plenty of reports of mass suicides being committed out of fear of what the US could do to them, to the US’ credit they did send interpreters to try to talk them out of it. Then there is the ethical question of the usage of the nuclear bombs, I am not going to give my opinion, this is one you must decide for yourself. The Chinese front is another complicated topic, there’s the Japanese with their brutality in things like the Rape of Nanking and there is what would be Maoist China, the Republic of China (who I don’t know enough about to make an argument on) and the USSR who is also here to complete the shit sandwich.
The North African front I know the least about so I am not even going to discuss it.
Evers further proving why my vote for him is 700,000% worth it
This is how a healthy democracy deals with undemocratic parties, you fucking toss them aside and call them what they are. Good for you Germany, may your democracy live long
I’ll allow it
“Democratic” doesn’t seem like the right label for a fascist supporter
They have selected their next human
One I am all for
I absolutely agree these “researchers” deserve to lose their tenure and lose their funding. In my mind they don’t even deserve to be called researchers anymore as they view their job as an extractive one. They hold no regard for the people they impacted and how that impacts the entire fields of research.
If the university does protect these people than I can only hope that no one signs up to participate in any future studies they try to conduct.
It sickens me how people use the phrase to justify harming others.
There are very good reasons why our modern code of ethics exist in the first place. We as researchers are not there to do harm but instead to try to uplift the people we work with in the process. We are not there to extract information, but to work with people to help better understand how to improve their lives.
The Milgram Experiment while fascinating, is deeply unethical in its own right and should not be used as an example of anything other than the damage that is cause by conducting an unethical study. That study alone has cause many would be participants to walk away because how can they be trusted with a new study. The experiment was not stopped by the researchers when it was clear the participants were under high pressure and showing visible signs of stress. This is not an extractive field like you imply, it is a morally bankrupt philosophy to have that mindset.
Compensating participants is a sign of goodwill and shows you value their time and work put in. Does not matter if trauma is brought up or created like with the Milgram Experiment. You do it because it creates goodwill and helps people feel safer in the knowledge that both you and the institution you represent actually care. It is not for debate on what circumstances you offer compensation, you just offer it.
The greater good does not come with predatory extractive experiments but instead with studies that value and care for its participants. It is impossible to know just how many people have been turned away from participating because of studies like the one the article is on, the Milgram Experiment and the Stanford Prison Experiment. What we do know is that they have had an extremely negative effect on the perception of academic research and turn people away.
This is deeply unethical, when doing research you need to respect the people who participate and you have to respect what their story is. So by using a regurgitative artificial idiot (RAI) to make them their mind is not respecting them or their story.
The people who are being experimented on were not given compensation for their time and the work they contributed. While it isn’t required it is good practice in research to not actively burn bridges with people so that they will want to participate in more studies.
These people were also not given knowledge they were participating in a study nor were they given the choice to leave with their contributions at their will. Which entirely makes the study unpublishable since the data was not gathered with fucking consent.
This isn’t even taking into account any of the other things which cross ethical lines. All the “researchers” involved should never be allowed to ever conduct or participate in a study of any kind again. Their university should be fined and heavily scrutinized for their work in enabling this shit. These assholes have done damage to all researchers globally who will now have a harder time pitching real studies to potential participants because they could remember this story and how “researchers” took advantage of unknowing individuals. Shame on these people and hope they face real consequences.
