  • Social media does cause harm. It tricks you into thinking you are socializing with those near you when you aren’t. It tricks you into thinking people are talking in good faith, similar to in person communication. Finally, social media is a huge attack vector for scams and abuse due to the anonymity and ability to connect anywhere in the world.

    All of these things produce an overwhelmingly negative social experience from social media. That wouldn’t be a problem if our defining trait wasn’t how we socialize in groups. Socializing is as important as water and food for humans.









  • Its because your perspectives clash. They are saying the problems you have are caused by people behaving poorly, and you are saying its because the AI is inherently flawed.

    They do have a point, if I were to pick up a hammer and throw it through a window, I can’t really blame the hammer for the broken window.

    I do think we have to hold each other to some higher moral standard where we put people above profit, which would reduce a lot of abuse. Its astonishing that so many programmers would justify AI use knowing it may be causing harm to many others in their field.


  • I dont really care if you like me, do you have anything to add to the discussion? Prove to me that most cases of ADHD aren’t just a set of poor behaviors that could be unlearned and replaced with better ones. Prove to me that those who actually have severe ADHD aren’t suffering from something else entirely.

    The term ADHD has lost most real meaning and should be replaced but that would upset a hugely profitable industry that depends on it so it stays.
