In 2015, Tu Youyou won the nobel in medicine for a breakthrough anti-malarial drug her team discovered by compiling and testing tcm malarial remedies.

only apply to TCM products that are injected intramuscularly or intravenously, not to the remedies widely taken by mouth

The potential harm from injections seems like a good reason to tackle them. I suspect wider TCM has too much support to be worth taking on.

In fairness, TCM has produced a nobel prize winning medicine, so forcing more legit research on it could produce some interesting results - in addition to dispelling a lot of potentially harmful nonsense.

It’s going to make snr devs get fired, surely?

They either refuse to sign off when boss wants them to and get fired or sign off and get fired when ai code they signed off on causes issues.

But I don’t do anything unless prompted by a human.

Got the muchies for a california cheeseburger.

I lean toward that interpretation but am open to being wrong.

I work in mental health and was surprised by the amount of people in the field who believe marijuana is part of the problem, not just a symptom of it.

Cannabis use was more common among: … Youth on Medicaid or living in more deprived neighborhoods

Regular reminder that correlation =/= causation. Living a more stressful life due to poverty makes both mental illness and adolescent cannabis use more common.

That said there is a credible biological pathway to cannabis use having a causal role:

THC acts on CB1 receptors, which are highly expressed in the adolescent brain and play a key role in emotional regulation, motivation, and cognitive development.

However we still don’t have definitive evidence of causation:

Q: Does this study prove cannabis causes mental illness? A: While causation can’t be definitively established, cannabis use was associated with an increased risk of developing psychiatric conditions

Literally word for word my first thought.

Nationalize it. Take his company, his wealth and jail him for his crimes.

I don’t think it’s wise to believe tech oligarchs saying that orwellian surveillance tech cannot be exploited for orwellian surveillance.

Besides companies can just require employees to opt in - “we just built this fresh horror, how companies use it is up to them” doesn’t really fly.

Let’s just share the news please.

Gavin Newsom’s presidential campaign paying to insert his name in headlines should not be shared.

There was a hilarious study the other month showing that on r/conservative, 30-60% of posts on any given day are 2 posters, who posted every single day - except the day that ukraine strikes knocked out power in moscow.

That sounds like a reasonable and healthy attitude to take.

I’ve started buying 2nd hand physical games, got a cheap record player, buy books from little bookshops, clothes from goodwill and don’t shop online. Not ready for a dumb phone yet.

I grew up in niave 90s with ‘internet will set us free’ thinking. But oligarchs turned the things i liked into poison, so i avoid drinking the poison as much as i can.

It was almost certainly written by gpt, you can tell because it doesn’t make any sense but still manages to be objectively incorrect.

Information already is knowledge, and that’s not what gpt does.

I don’t know that it’s wise to trust what anthropic says about their own product. AI boosters tend to have an “all news is good news” approach to hype generation.

Anthropic have recently been pushing out a number of headline grabbing negative/caution/warning stories. Like claiming that AI models blackmail people when threatened with shutdown. I’m skeptical.

I guess i don’t really see the point. Is there a strong use case out there, or is this a marge’s potato? (“I just think they’re neat”)

This is just an ad for obvious bullshit. Forbes may as well be running articles about how ozempic is done because of this one weird trick a local veteran discovered.

I’m guessing it’ll be more like the dot com bubble in the 90s - too much too soon but it’s not going away.

With no ransom demand it’s gotta be a state actor probing defenses and testing responses, right? I think first guesses would be Russia, China, Iran or maybe North Korea.

Yeah it really stands out.

Either it’s a lie and feds installed a keylogger remotely after the tip off from the Roblox user mentioned, Or the “matyr” had behavior problematic enough that even their family were concerned.
