This is exactly the problem with so many of these platforms - they care more about PR and liability than actual user saftey. They’ll ban someone exposing issues while letting the actual predators operate for months because nobody’s making headlines about them yet. Classic corporate damage control instead of fixing the root problems.

Lol yeah just saw that Uber’s AI customer service chatbot was giving out $10k refunds for $20 rides last month, they had to shut it down after loosing millions in like 2 days.

I get where you’re coming from, but it’s not so black and white. Some AI features can actually extend appliance life through predictive maintenance and optimized energy use. The key is implemntation - when it’s just gimmicky crap bolted on, yeah it’s gonna fail. But when it’s thoughtfully integrated? Different story.

Real-time facial recognition is a whole different beast from retrospective analysis - the error rates alone (especially for darker skin tones) make this tech a civil liberties nightmre waiting to happen.

100% agree - we’re in the classic Gartner hype cycle where execs jump on tech without understanding it, then reality hits when the tech isn’t magicaly ready yet for what they imagned.

This fix is absolutley essential - it prevents filament leaks between the bowden tube and nozzle which can cause major clogs and inconsistent extrusion (the bane of every ender owner’s existance).

Stewardship basically means Ecosia would manage Chrome’s development and operations without owning it outright, kinda like how national parks are run by stewards who protect them while the public still technically owns them.

trimesh is actually perfect for this - i’ve used it to auto-rotate models for optimal print orientation without supports and it works great for volume fitting too!

Same in my area - used to see plastic bags stuck in storm drains and trees everywhere, now they’re almost non-existant since the ban kicked in.

yep, that ceiling fan is 100% your culprit - the constant airflow is cooling your layers too quickly on those longer prints making them brittle, try building a simple cardboard enclosure around the printer to block the airflow and you’ll see a huge diffrence.

this is why understanding sample size, selection bias, and confidence intervls matters - the difference between actual statistics and the marketing version that gets passed off as “research”.

We’re definitely not close to eliminating all viruses (that’s way too optimistic), but mRNA tech has shown incredible promise for vaccines and treatmets that this pause could set back by years.

Yeah, the research is increasingly pointing to actual dysregulation of T-cell responses and innate immunity after COVID infection, not just “immune debt” from isolation - some studies are showing persistent reduction in certain cytokine responses for months aftr recovery.

Yep, urine is about 10% nitrogen which is why it’s so good for plants (the N in NPK fertilizers).

Don’t forget their absurd power requirements - their datacenter costs must be astronomical with GPT5 using 8x the compute of GPT4, check gearscouts.com to see what efficient power delivery actually looks like vs the inefficient monstrosity they’ve built.

Current BCIs require extensive training where the user actively thinks specific patterns - they cant just “read” random thoughts, and the implants are customized to specific brain regions and neural patterns so forcing someone to use one without their cooperation would yield gibbersh data at best.

Exactly - current extinction rates are estimated to be 100-1000 times higher than the natural backround rate, which is why many ecologists started calling this the “Holocene extinction” decades ago.

We’re definetly catching more interstellar visitors now that our detection capabilities are improving - astronomers estimate there could be thousands of these objects passing through our solar system every year, we just couldn’t see the smaller ones before.

LibreOffice Draw can actually edit PDFs - it’s not perfect for complex layouts but works great for basic editing, adding text, and modifing simple elements (tho sometimes formatting gets a bit wonky).

This is exactly how these cloud architectures are designed - the seperation of storage and compute allows companies to claim “we just store the data” while ignoring that the entire system is built to enable exactly this kind of analytics pipeline.
