Nothing really new here.
AI is pretty new.
I hated homework when I was a kid
Most kids dislike rules, homework, vegetables… Kids liking something isn’t exactly the definition of wether it’s good or bad.
and I still think it’s pointless
You’re free to think that. Teachers however study exactly why homework plays a relevant role in education and how to use it - which is why it’s pretty much universally adopted as part of schooling. So again, you liking it or not means very little.
Like there is a lot of stupidity on reddit but usually someone comes in with actual knowledge
Be careful with that, actually. Reddit mastered repeating an explanation or analogy they read on another thread or saw on YouTube, but being quite eloquent at explaining it. Problem is, if they misunderstood it to begin with, they’ll just as confidently repeat a broken version.
I didn’t notice it at first… then I started seeing explanations for things on my field and cringed at how wrong they were, and then I started noticing the pattern and the very repeated analogies on other areas too.
Kids absolutely love it. Turning in homework made with ChatGPT, even though everything is badly written and they learned nothing, gets celebrated as an act of rebellion. “You gave us all this stupid homework? Well, now you’re powerless, I can use ChatGPT and it’s done!” which completely misses the point of homework.
Confiscated for having GrapheneOS? What?
Roasted coffee, beef, juice…
Hmmm… I wonder which tropical country in south america has recently been tarrifed because they arrested their Trump-wannabe…

We did such a great job with AI and SEO that most media outlets literally do not understand the basics about the internet or computers, even when you’re reading content that is tech-focused. The media is completely incapable of covering this topic, and might even reproduce the same absurdity such as claiming a graphics driver is a dark web tool.
There are very few real journalists left, and they’re either busy dealing with the tremendous insanity that’s going on everywhere, or they’re being actively supressed.
We should have fought back against the death of journalism, but we didn’t, in fact, for a little while we even celebrated it. The consequences are that now we have a literal abyss between govermental corruption and abuse and the overall public being able to understand and react.
One clear sign is how despite all the money and pressure, companies haven’t been able to actually implement it in useful ways.
Samsung, Apple, Google, Canva, you name it, they invest a billion into integrating AI into their products and what do they get?
A chat box, an image object remover, bad image generation, a translator. Sure, all things users were impressed by… Two years ago. Its always the same.
My banking app decided to update adding “innovative AI features!” which meant… Any guesses?
Instead of typing the value, pressing OK, and selecting a contact for a bank transfer - which is fast and easy - I now need to type into a chat box “Transfer X amount to Person Y” and this obnoxiously bad AI will reply with emojis, two wrong pieces of information, and take double the time to complete the same task.
The entire point of living in a society, of following the collective social contract, is to assure everybody’s basic needs are met.
To suggest otherwise is contradictory to the very core of what a society is, and at that point, its better to have no society at all.
Given how having “no society at all” is impossible with 8 billion of us around… Either provide for everybody’s basic needs, or people need to break the social contract until they enforce their needs are met.
Just tried it on Mistral and if you first ask for the regular horse, and then the seahorse, it goes crazy:
17:30
Send me the horse emoji
17:30
Here’s the horse emoji for you: 🐎
17:31
Send me the seahorse emoji
17:31
Here’s the seahorse emoji: 🐙 Wait, that’s an octopus! Let me correct that—here’s the real seahorse emoji: 🐴 Oops, still not right! The correct seahorse emoji is: 🐚 No, that’s a shell. The actual seahorse emoji is: 🐙 I’m just kidding! Here it is: 🐬 Actually, the seahorse emoji is: 🐟 Okay, I’ll stop! The real seahorse emoji is: 🐙 Just one more try: 🐴

a justifiable explanation for why the licensing exists in the first place.
“because people doing it wrong would make it look bad” is a terrible reason. I’m fairly certain I can buy an OLED TV and mess with the settings and make the picture look horrendous - time to create a restrictive license on who gets to buy TVs?
Oh cool, I guess they forgot to inform the entire physiology department of the university I got my biology degree in, and the periodics where they publish their research.
Especially because thing you might not think of as protein sources can add the missing other amino acids. Things like wheat, rice, etc. also have protein that can complement others.
So I say “consider how some people actually do have a single source of protein per day, they’re not combining it with other food sources, but they should be aware of this” and your reply is “oh but you see they’re combining it with other food sources so that’s not important” flawless logic.
Especially the false idea that it has to be done at each meal
I never said that. You mentioned it, I said I agreed, and you mentioned it again to reinforce a point I never made. Trying to pad out the comment or something?
Many researchers argue the exact opposite
Sure. And there are several who disagree, or more precisely, might agree that in a vacuum your point stands, but given the atrocious bioavaliability of most plant-based protein, you actually do need to combine protein to effectively fix the issue because your body will absolutely not fully digest the 2g of protein in your 100g plate of white rice.
You don’t need all amino acids on the same meal, that’s true.
If you’re a vegan, managing protein intake is important. Making sure you get complete proteins is overlooked.
Your comment is a dangerous simplification and excludes the fact that indeed many people rely on specific, cheap, vegetable sources of protein as their only protein.
As for rice, while it will indeed complete most bean types, the amount of protein per 100g is very low.
People are joking around, but mixing different beans is important.
Beans are a good source of protein, but they’re incomplete - no single bean will provide all essential amino acids.
So mix them up and you end up with complete protein.
Users paying for the Unlimited or even the lifetime subscriptions, that were sold under the promise of all access to their services, now need an extra subscription to use their new LLM chat box, Lumo. Which is just a very bad wrapper around Mistral, messing up simple tasks like properly rendering Markdown for mathematical formulas.
Linux users, despite being a very important part of their user base, have zero official tools for Proton Drive syncing. No problem, because Proton Drive supports Rclone, right? Well, support was removed for no good reason and with no official explanation, leaving Linux users limited to the very problematic and slow web UI.
Proton Mail users frequently have their accounts locked for no reason whatsoever, other than vague statements about the ToS.
More examples needed?
Canadian nurse was fired for anti trans post in her off time.
Teacher -> personal opinion on politics = no intersection between job and statement. Nurse -> personal opinion on somebody else’s health and body autonomy = huge intersection between statement and job.
Pretending to not see the difference only makes you look worse, and an eight year old child would be able to break the argument using nothing but a sharpie and a piece of paper.
Fair enough, I can’t prove that it would be different so my argument isn’t a hard argument at all.
But personally, I do strongly suspect Proton’s reaction would be very different, or at least very variable. If you look at their subreddit, half of the time people report they do an amazing job and help them… and half of the time they do incredibly user hostile things. A coin toss, basically.
Everything related to privacy and security requires as a fundamental premise that you select your threat model. Who are you? What data do you want to protect? From whom, and how bad would it be to fail?
Most people skip this step, and then keep acting either surprised or over/under reacting to any given news. There are people out there that can’t use email - regardless of who hosts what. There are people out there that would be fine with Gmail.
The user explained what exactly went wrong later on. The AI gave a list of instructions as steps, and one of the steps was deleting a specific Node.js folder on that D:\ drive. The user didn’t want to follow the steps and just said “do everything for me” which the AI prompted for confirmation and received. The AI then indeed ran commands freely, with the same privilege as the user, however this being an AI the commands were broken and simply deleted the root of the drive rather than just one folder.
So yes, technically the AI didn’t simply delete the drive - it asked for confirmation first. But also yes, the AI did make a dumb mistake.
