Political Humor
MAGA has morphed into MAHA under RFKennedyJr and now the “vaccines are the enemy” mindset which became common during Covid more so on the right is even more amplified.

How should we use AI in medicine ?
Bravo. Agreed. /chefskiss

How should we use AI in medicine ?
Details matter here. It depends. Which AI? How was it trained? What parameters were given for the analysis? Would humans have done any better / worse? Probably the latter.

Mechanism of hidden authoritarianism in Western countries
It’s the latter clearly, plus a dash of shit stirring to get people who are otherwise friends to turn against one another. Basically every post they’ve made since joining further evidences this assertion. Neither action nor reply needed, just amplifying your obviously correct point. Again hitting nails squarely on their heads.

What is the conspiracy of mRNA?
People are often afraid of what they’re told to be afraid of. Don’t overthink it There’s usually not a lot of rational analysis or reasoning involved

Living above a Costco
Don’t even need to bring a cooler when stocking up on all the flexes stuff (tho I do wonder they’ll enable a system whereby the shopping carts can head up to the higher levels and get returned for those days when you have both 36 rolls of paper towels AND 904 toilet papers)

‘Toronto’ or ’Tuh-RAHn-o” ?
Cockney and creole both come to mind

‘Toronto’ or ’Tuh-RAHn-o” ?
Language evolves and dialects form. There is no one right way, only the way considered common within some arbitrary local context and culture

The False Flag of Freedom
There seems to be a lot of misunderstanding in this thread. It’s okay. We can move on. I suspect it’s not certain human rules from which you want freedom, but instead certain humans in your life. If so, then I’m sorry to hear that and wish you well.

The False Flag of Freedom
I was asking which human rules you needed freedom from. This reply doesn't makes sense to me with that context in mind. Will you please elaborate?

That sounds like one of those "good problems."

The False Flag of Freedom
Even here, you won't be free. You won't be free from struggle. From suffering. From a need to find and protect shelter. From the need to locate and acquire food and resources. Quite the contrary. Without money to make those things easier to acquire, you'd be less free. Losing all of your time simply finding the basics for survival and having no other time for anything you wish you were free to do. I'm not saying availability of money is required for freedom. I'm saying your freedom to choose to do whatever you want is facilitated by it.

Is Time Instant?
It depends a bit on how you define time. It is, however, a concept that is frustratingly resistant to simple definition. Many of the words you use are ambiguous and vague. They’re not helpful in understanding. Precision matters in topics like this. Instant is meaningless. You cannot stop time. Time is change. Entropy increasing. Perhaps you mean what our feeble limited human minds perceive as time. As right now. As this moment or this instant, but even that is delayed by several hundred milliseconds from when the event occurs. There is a measurable space between interactions and our awareness of them. There are perhaps other dimensions to consider, too. We are aware of 3-dimensions and exist in 4, but perhaps there’s more. That likely informs the answer here. Without input of energy, disorder increases. Time is a way we use imperfect human terms to describe that growing entropy. It’s a measure like distance and you’re essentially asking “how does distance pass?” This conversation will forever remain a philosophical one, and it requires you ask better questions with clearer terms. This part of why math is so appealing on this topic. Clarity is embedded.

James Watson assessment
The overlap in Venn diagram circles for racist and snowflake amazes me in its consistency.

Are they called "A.I. service providers" ?
AI Company or AI Lab are most common, but Gemini is a division within Alphabet (aka Google). It’s essentially a software company with a specific type of software

The real reason of loneliness and “atomization” of people
You misspelled cell phones and social media For someone who laments politics, you sure do bandy it about heavily in all your posts. Well, so long as you’re convinced that’s good enough for me!

Profile management.
Because not all people doing software and user interface (UI) design give a shit about user experience (UX), or when they do "changing profile photo" doesn't rise to the top of their priorities list
