@Doomed_Daniel @aburka @oatmeal yep total nonsense there. It's making Keith think he's great at all sorts but he's actually just making more work for everyone else and atrophying his brain and skills in the process.

@peterb @j_bertolotti not everyone. Those of us with research experience are generally well aware that ML is both applicable/useful in some areas and not brand new. Or inherently evil. My problem, to speak for myself, is both genAI and the corps who've made the huge public tools with no ethical considerations whatsoever. The ones built on theft that produce slop. The stuff being shoved in our faces day in, day out, even though it's shit and useless and brain rot. Big difference. #genAI #noAI

@derbadian@mas.to @MintSpies@beige.party wait where's Bounty?? Are some hidden by overlap?

@derbadian@mas.to @MintSpies@beige.party I came to ask for this too :p

@fuxoft@kompost.cz @silvermoon82@wandering.shop placebo isn't 'an effect', it's a mishmash of biases that people lump into one. It isn't powerful. It will not heal anyone who actually needs surgery. Studies that report showing 'placebo as good as surgery' typically leave out key facts like people having support care afterwards. Read/listen to Mike Hall on this! @merseyskeptics@mastodon.world Skeptics with a K pod, @TheSkeptic@mas.to pieces and a good intro talk: https://youtu.be/FL96to_4NYU?si=icBCX8foBH5J1gbu

@MarkHB@mastodon.social and funded by very rich old men. Let's not forget that bit

@juergen_hubert@mementomori.social... Parents follow her 'protocol' to remove their kids' (imaginary) parasites by *giving them enemas of this stuff* and force-feeding it to them. Which obviously kills their gut and oesophagus lining. Then they sift through their tortured kids' excrement and vomit And they find these brown-ish strings They post photos and claim it's working! The parasites are coming out! And it's their kids' internal tissues they've damaged. Horrific.

@juergen_hubert@mementomori.social to be fair that's already been happening for years. Just not out in the open I guess. Do you know about Kerri Rivera and her 'autism protocol' that parents internationally have followed? They tend to take their groups private bc people (rightly) call child protection on them. She repeats the lie that parasites cause autism. She repeats Jim Humble's claims that MMS (a 'miracle' solution that makes bleach when mixed at home) kills them. So...

@purrperl @adamghill it's not! https://www.looper.com/1481578/godzilla-atomic-breath-evolution-explained/

@davidgerard@circumstances.run I love this

@regehr@mastodon.social perhaps we stop teaching people to write in the most obscure way possible in science I say that despite having been quite good at it - it's inaccessible to most people, including many other scientists. Make the 'lay summary' (don't like the word) actually normal language. That almost everyone can understand. Stop hiding scientific results behind layers of academese, shibboleth and obscurity. We could have started doing this years ago but no (yes I got the joke)

@StorieswithaWill@fosstodon.org @courtcan@mastodon.social... Which you functionally did anyway

@gwynnion fuckin this

@maxschrems @noybeu alt text: Quote from a pay walled article reads "Meta's privacy officer was in Europe this week to speak at privacy symposium in Italy and to meet regulators in Ireland. She said the EU needs to address the power of privacy activists such as Noyb, which failed to recognize an opinion by an umbrella group of EU privacy authorities that legitimate interests could be a valid legal basis for companies that train Al models with personal data." With highlight on 'she said... Noyb'

@masteremit@chaos.social @elnecesario@mastodon.social Jack fking Dorsey owns it! No thanks. That is not a step up. https://www.headphonesty.com/2025/04/signs-tidal-way-out/

@StorieswithaWill@fosstodon.org @courtcan@mastodon.social I'm fine actually but thanks for the concern

@btanderson@infosec.exchange as suspected. Went to that 'signature' website and it's all also AI slop shite. Sigh. I miss when the Internet wasn't... This. #AIslop #genAI #noToAI

@derbadian@mas.to @MintSpies@beige.party huh!

@forthy42@mastodon.net2o.de @Natasha_Jay@tech.lgbt autism is genetic, we know it is. This is speculation. Populations do vary, but testing some primary kids and comparing it to all ages and much larger datasets in another country doesn't prove anything really. Different methods, age groups, testing criteria (which researchers did the study? And many other questions). I'd not put all your eggs in that basket. At this point it seems likely that it's actually people without some neurodivergence who are in the minority.

@forthy42@mastodon.net2o.de @Natasha_Jay@tech.lgbt do you want to link the study?

@elnecesario@mastodon.social I have this issue too. Years and years of stuff built up, I don't want to lose it all, I want to keep supporting artists by going to their gigs and buying stuff. I'd move to bandcamp, but no playlist support that I know of

@wraithcadmus@mastodon.social @courtcan@mastodon.social assuming people don't care is different from assuming the women you're talking to don't know.

@plexus@toot.cat soylent will improve your business! Try some! What do you mean you don't want to That makes no sense. You'll do better! You'll BE better! It can improve everything!!
