From the abstract of [0]: Microplastics and nanoplastics [..] particles can penetrate the skin, especially if the skin barrier is compromised. [they] may cause oxidative stress, tr…

It’s like 3d rendering; You can move a vertex cheaply, sure. You then also have to re-render a couple of frames of the video.

I see female sexrobots as a symptom, a manifestation of the male gaze. I've heard personal histories of being courted and finding the guy was out for sexual gratification and didn'…

How convenient for the data collecting companies that so generously sponsor the new & free services, that our democratically controlled communication infrastructure looses in value…

I agree with you in that the stories of religion are pretty dangerous in their 'dogmatic' potential. I think another big value of religion is the community that comes with it. Its …

A human teacher can see the problem from the students perspective and understand the error they make and why they make it. No current ai would be able to achieve this. But alas, fe…

I think your impression has merit and labeling people as 'sick' or 'broken' or any of the diagnoses in psychology literature, that imply just about the same, can keep people stuck …

Thats an interesting point about the age of manipulative sales strategies! I didn't consider it. And I agree with your position that emotions change over a rather long timescale. I…

I agree that a good salesperson manipulates people too. Instead of trying to compare how much manipulation is done by salespeople vs in ads, I think it's worthwhile to consider how…

A popular position perhaps, which is why you can still go gambling while 'weak-minded' children cannot. Personally, I hope we come to protect the vulnerable regardless of their age…

I agree with you that a pos/neg divide is clearer and more straight forward to construct. Reading your comment also evoked in me imaginations of political repression. Anger and fea…

I think, in order to have the desired effect, the deterrant must be in proportion to the resources of the transgressor as a whole entity. If its not, Apple can afford to behave ant…

I both agree and disagree, in that; - the amount of spam on Mastodon will surely increase in amount proportional to the size of it's network. And - Mastodon users won't usually see…

That's probably because OpenAi can train on the (succesfull) conversations we have with ChatGPT!

At worst the assesment will be dysfunctional often and at best this can empower local governance (ideally, "the people") to decide, as you say, on what businesses they'd like to ho…

I agree wholeheartedly with your sentiment and your behavior. I'm grateful for everyone of us out there working with strong moral boundaries. Thank you! I also disagree with your p…

I'm curious, do you have a counterpart to "capital" and "property" in your analogy? I think capitalism facilitates specialization - and that quite effectively at scale. Specializat…

You might enjoy Crystal Society. It's written from the perspective of an AI with an internal dialogue orchestrated by a few distinct modules. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/28…

I believe Dune covers this possibility as well. You might reframe this as an adversarial attack. So far these are constructed against specific classifiers. I wonder just how much c…

I'm a big fan of reducing the webs addictive footprint. So thank you for building this, I hope it gains traction :) I've found ublock origin's "picking"-feature quite powerful. It …

Regarding #3 you might want to check out the "I don't care about cookies" add-on. I use I on Firefox mobile and desktop - don't know if there's a chromium version. Almost forgot I …

Good argument and I'm sure it's going to be like that in some regards. I think, though, that human intellect is a tool too and we're building a better one right now. So in your ana…

I like to study this force as well and I agree with your claim. A degree of centralization appears to be quite useful in the real world. Recently I've been thinking about modelling…
