People genuinely think LLMs will solve climate change
they will, just not the way they think
And enough cooling to drain a lake
AI is shit. Poor programming results in heavy errors and intrusive break ins during benign operations. Worst is that the corpos that adopt it shove it into your systems in a way that makes it unremovable
Just one more lane and we’ll fix traffic bro
Just one more cryptocurrency and we’ll break free from the banks
Just one more department for efficiency and we will finally be efficient.
Just one more election and we’ll never have to vote again.
Just 10 more years and we will finally have fusion power
Just one more job and we’ll be in Tahiti, Arthur!
This is getting down. Back in the day, fusion was always 20 years away.
(Anyway, you’ll need 10 years just to scale Tritium production if you make a commercially viable D+T fusion reactor today. And the last experimental one too 25 years to build.)
Braess’s paradox
What the hell even is this fucking stupid take?
It always reminds me how serious people were trying to build steam powered aircraft. I imagine they had a bunch of “if we can just get some lighter material” kind of discussions right until some bicycle guys used an internal combustion engine to make history.
Considering how energy efficient the human brain is I hope they keep going after video cards
OMG, video cards made of human brains! It’s genius!
just one more SSRI bro, i promise bro the next SSRI will work bro please i need one more SSRI bro Edit: okay, well maybe instead of insinuating that none of the SSRIs work, I should have claimed that all of them so many potentially crippling side effects, that prescribing these “medications” should be considered significantly more as an absolute last-resort solution - together with inpatient care - than be given out like candy as they are today. But I also understand that it is the cheapest option available, as the best option is therapy, which there are multiple of, all of them requiring quite a lot of time and work, all of which cost significantly more than what anyone is ready to pay. But that shit is long, so take it as you will
no… that’s not how that works.
But I also understand that it is the cheapest option available, as the best option is therapy,
outcomes of both treatments combined are superior to outcomes from either alone. SSRIs are just a tool to help you retrain your brain more easily during the course of behavioral modifications, which a therapist typically helps you identify and implement
they’re powerful which makes them difficult to use, i get it. finding the right medication can be exhausting, because you need to build up the drug in your body to have an effect and you need to titrate off to safely stop the drug. so it’s a long game of trial and error.
But I can assure you that psych meds are ridiculously important for managing certain conditions.
i really wish the fuckers who tote pharmaceutical population control conspiracies would just spend a weekend in the Before Times when people with mundane mental disorders by today’s standards were locked up and abused. yeah, totally randy, it’s lexapros fault your life is a mess, you’d be way better having a manic episode in 1700
They… Scientifically work though?
Not the same thing. Have a nice day.
