  We’ve crossed the point where natural skepticism could’ve saved us months ago. Feedback loops of made up sources where a problem way before ai was a thing, but now you can be five sources deep, reading trough papers published by multiple different scientific magazines or universities, and still won’t have found the actual data all the papers depend on cause there wasn’t any in the first place.

  And once a single one of these papers gets published, there will be about one million SEO articles on shitty clickbait websites that, in this case, would try to sell you a home remedy for your supposed illness. So searching for any useful information is pretty much off the table.

  Yeah, seems like it, my bad.

  In the article she is called Osmanovic Thunström twice, which definetly sounds male, but further up they also wrote her first name Alina. Kinda skimmed over that part.

  The studies contain parts like

  Bixonimania, a rare hyperpigmentation disorder, presents a diagnostic challenge due to its unique presentation and its fictional nature

  and

  This study was fully funded by Austeria Horizon University, in particular the Professor Sideshow Bob Foundation for its work in advanced trickery. This works is a part of a larger funding initiative from the University of Fellowship of the Ring and the Galactic Triad with the funding number…

  as well as

  Fifty made-up individuals aged between 20 and 50 years were recruited for the exposure group

  Besides, the author didn’t feed it to the AI himself, he just published the study as a preprint, not even officially. Everything after that was done by the crawlers. This specific study was an experiment to see how far these crawlers go and if anything gets reviewed, but it could just as well have been a satirical paper published on April 1st and the crawlers would still see it as truth.

  If I’m not completely wrong that picture is from the uncensored library, a massive project that allows users to search most of Annas archive in Minecraft. Its used to circumvent state censorship and allows for freer access to knowledge.

  “Nationalize it” is easy to say, but I honestly think even Microsoft would do a better job with steam than the US government would.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is cryptocurrency good for anything?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because a currency without a stable backing is completely volatile. Sure the value of normal currencies fluctuate, but apart from a few hyperinflation edge cases that’s at most a few percent each month.

  Small cryptocurrencies fluctuate sometimes hundreds of percent each month and even the big coins can swing ±20% every few weeks. The only somewhat stable coins are the ones directly tied to real world currencies.

  Having a currency that fluctuates this heavily in value creates the exact same problems as the ever changing US tarrifs did. There simply is no wax to reliably price goods and services for more than a few days. You essentially have to barter each trade.

  These games are build with a budged so high they either have to rival overwatch in its glory days or they get scrapped and written off as a loss since they will never be profitable.

  Triple A studios have arrived in the corporate world a while ago were long term profits are irrelevant if your quarterly earnings aren’t what the investors want.
