  • Skimmed some of the studies as well. A few of the studies reported an estmated incidence rate of 4 per 1 million. And that’s just incidence rate. Meanwhile the mortality rate of covid that year was 1850 per million cases. Some of the names themselves are dead giveaways.

    One of the other mentioned 7 kids who had complications from the vaccine. In the conclusion, it basically says “we gave them advil and they were good.”

    It’s just more fear mongering and gish gallop.




  • Well, definitely fits the prompt. Can I ask a follow up question? Why do you think it’s unethical to eat meat?

    I’m not agreeing or disagreeing with the concept in general. Factory farms are hell holes. But I’m having trouble connecting your two points. But to me, the ethical issues with eating meat come down to the suffering the animal endured. If it’s a meat substitute, or eventually lab grown meat, that suffering doesn’t exist. So the ethical issues don’t apply.


  • Yea, if only there were real world applications for AI. Like image/video generation and editing, text generation including code, audio processing and generation, object recognition and image classification, fraud detection, medical diagnosis, predictions in general, protein folding, or even just general data analysis. Then it might actually take off.

    OpenGPT is just an LLM but that’s only one small facet of AI. When people talk about AI and only mean LLMs or even one specific guy/company, it’s a clear sign they don’t know any more about AI than that one Vox article they read 2 months ago.



  • “By not addressing their points from a charitable perspective, you’re playing right into the astroturfer’s hands.”

    That’s the exact opposite of how this works. The GOP astroturfers want the conversation to be about “addressing concerns of these poor mothers, whose innocent children are being subjected to XYZ” meanwhile they get to keep fear mongering and raising money. You can tell these people that book banning isn’t a good idea for thousands of reasons but that’d be meaningless. They don’t care about book banning in the first place. They care about raising money and fear mongering as a way to do so.



  • “I may be butting into a topic I don’t understand. I don’t know much about these Moms for Liberty except that I thing I’ve heard that they support trump.” I mean, it doesn’t take that much effort to go to wikipedia, but here, I’ve even done it for you:

    Mom’s for Liberty is so much worse than what you’re implying here. They’re not some innocent gathering of parents who don’t want certain things taught in schools. They’re an astroturf, highly GOP connected, right wing campaign that has supported many things like anti-vax propaganda, book bans, anti-LGBT legislature, and the rest of the “normal” GOP stuff. They have an extensive history of getting caught calling for violence against those they disagree with. They have 3 separate sections on Wikipedia about the different people they have been caught threatening with violence.
