The paper is pretty clear about the chemistry and why they measured what.

I cannot tell if this is legitimate or some potemkin-esque concept design for a factory

Yup not contesting the article itself, but giving some explanation for all the anger you were wondering being about

It’s a boiling frog thing. AI and LLMs are shoved in our faces everywhere and it’s harder every day to opt out. Job boards are flooded with positions for human in the loop AI training or AI experience requirements. AI gen text, images, and video are obscuring an already muddled information space. They also draw an astronomical amount of energy which is detrimental to the global ecosystem. Meanwhile costs are going up, it’s borderline impossible to get a job, and people are scared this automation will push them out of employment without generating new jobs, especially if art and entertainment are taken over by gen AI. People are saying “I’m being boiled alive” but by the time there’s enough data to validate that we’ll already be stew.

The way information is presented matters too. When articles circulate they get often slanted and summarized (or people just read the headline and make assumptions). Key information gets tossed aside for easy talking points to support whichever narrative and the people affected feel unseen and unheard.

There’s a lot going on and it isn’t just “AI bad”

Your Undivided Attention discussed an important point missing from the article, which is that ChatGPT advised him to hide his activities and concerns from his parents. This doesn’t necessarily absolve the parents, but it does add a layer of nuance to the discussion

So I’ll be getting job interviews soon? Right?

Dude, what is this book. Who writes like this? I fucking adore it

Oh fuck yeah, buddy! I’m grabbing it right now! Might buy the audio on libro.fm to support the author too

I’m a sci fi nerd from foundation to Hyperion to the expanse but I’ve never heard of Blindsight, and you’ve absolutely sold me on it

Ooo added the book to my list, thanks!

Also, Robert Sapolsky’s book Determined explores whether we’re conscious or not based on his work in neuroscience and primatology. It’s like a book length version of the quote you posted

I never spent enough time on YouTube for it to develop its algorithm for me. I watch like 2 videos a week maybe, usually searching for something specific, and most of the recs for me have always been obscure clickbait I’m not interested in seeing

I see no problem with this, what with all the recommended slop

I have never been able to figure out how to block fingerprinting without entirely disabling my browser and it looks like the race to the bottom is accelerating

My old job force migrated everyone to Okta the week it got breached

I had a TA for my quantum class tell us, “Look, I know you’re all working together or sharing homework. But I’ll see who knows the material when I grade your exams.”

Color and age definitely matter too. Each resin should also have a configuration table you can import into the slicer. I use Sirya and they offer data sheets and configs from their website. Not sure which other resin manufacturers do the same

What is your retraction distance? It almost looks like it’s not leaving the bed enough to allow the resin to flow. I might be wrong, it’s been a while since I messed with mine, but I had issues during setup with it not retracting enough. Maybe add some distance and slow that part down a tad
