googled something and clicked a link to a website I'd never heard of that looked like a forum, read the discussion and realized the person asking a question and all of the answers were all LLM generated, the entire website was a fake forum pretending to be people asking/answering questions

Compassion toward others is linked to greater life satisfaction and psychological well-being across diverse groups, suggesting its potential value in public health and educational interventions. doi.org/hbfg8n
Feeling happier starts with kindness: Compassion tied to higher life satisfaction
People who treat others with compassion often feel more at ease themselves. This is the key finding of a new study by Majlinda Zhuniq, Dr. Friedericke Winter, and Professor Corina Aguilar-Raab from the University of Mannheim.

"IBM owns Red Hat which in turn runs Fedora, the popular desktop Linux distribution. Sadly, shit rolls downhill, so we’re starting to see some worrying signs that Fedora is going to be used a means to push “AI”."

Using “AI” to manage your Fedora system seems like a really bad idea

It's not that "the Internet" is worse or "enshittified" or whatnot. That's just clinging to the belief that the Internet is special and separate from the "real world".

The world is being made worse by capitalism in a massive way.

WOW; a DEEPLY corrupt move by the immigration courts; clear collaboration with Trump admin officials to produce a specific result with zero notice to the party and ALSO in a situation where the judge facially lacks jurisdiction; the judge had denied a motion to reopen and the case is on appeal.
Judge Xinis ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s release in part bc ICE could not produce a final “order of removal” to deport him. So last night, they went out and got an immigration judge to issue one.

Now, Abrego is urging Xinis to block his redetention. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Look around you. Do you see policies being implemented at scale? Do you see the end of investment into new fossil energy? Do you see phasing out of existing fossil infrastructure? Do you see massive renewables deployment and the lowering of demand for energy and materials?

You do not.

The projections of warming by 2100 that encourage people to say reassuring shit like this are *estimates of emissions* that take current pledges and policies into account. They ALL posit that emissions will bed sharply down, and soon.

On the 10th Anniversary of the Paris Agreement, you’re going to hear a lot about the progress we’ve made — people saying we “are” heading to 2.5 degrees heating instead of four.

I deeply regret to tell you that this is complacent misinformation.

DiffProtect “rewrites a person’s face in a photograph using the same generative technology behind modern image creation tools.
The resulting photo still looks like the person to any human viewer, but to state-of-the-art facial recognition systems, the image becomes something else entirely.”
A new kind of digital camouflage emerges from DARPA AI research | Biometric Update
The technique, called DiffProtect, quietly rewrites a person’s face in a photograph using the same generative technology behind modern image creation tools.

I keep thinking about how terrible it is that so many people will be losing their health insurance in January due to costs and cuts. I was rejected from insurance once before the ACA [preexisting conditions]. I was hospitalized that year and it almost bankrupted me. We need universal heathcare ASAP.

Everyone's favorite disney princess next year will be the uncanny valley constantly melting figure who in 10 second intervals encourages children to drink household cleaning products.

Her hit show on Disney+ will have a billion views a week and a full line of merch and a movie franchise coming out.

This is your annual reminder that the Time Person of the Year award is NOT meant as an endorsement, for example they gave the award to Adolf Hitler in 1938, 1939, 1940, 1941, 1942, and 1943 (when the magazine was renamed Hitler Monthly)
