The right as a political machine didn’t bat an eye when democratic government officials were assassinated. They also have completely ignored the facts of just about everything and inserted their own ideology or fantasy about what’s true and what’s not. What do you think “shouting from the rooftops” is going to accomplish here? This same nonsense has repeated itself multiple times with the attempted Trump assassinations and with other figures on the right. 99 times out of 100 it’s a young straight white conservative male behind shootings, yet there is never introspection on this issue. I cannot imagine this will change the minds of any significant number of those on the right. As Kirk himself said, this is the price of business.

This is just one of the many far reaching effects of the disinformation age we are headed into. It would not surprise me if, in the future (assuming humanity survives our climate crisis), this period of time will be contrasted with the middle ages as periods of great loss of human knowledge.

For what it’s worth, a lot of what the article is bringing up isn’t particularly new. Fake studies are nothing new, but the scope of them will definitely increase. While it is manpower intensive, this is easily solved by peer review. In fact, perhaps ironically, AI could be used to do a first-pass review before and summarize what seems like it was AI created versus human created and send that along to a human.

Corporation funded studies designed to get around regulation or to promote their product, on the other hand, is something we’ve been dealing with for quite some time and an issue we haven’t really solved as a society. Anyone who works in science knows how to spot these from a mile away because they’re nearly always published in tiny journals (low citation score) which either don’t do peer review or have shady guidelines. The richer companies have the money to simply run 40 or 50 studies concurrently and toss the data from every one that doesn’t have the outcome they’re looking for (in essence repeatedly rolling a d20 until they get a 20) which allows them to get their findings into a bigger journal because it’s all done above board. Some larger publishing journals have created guidelines to try and fight this, but ultimately you need meta-analyses and other researchers to disprove what’s going on, and that’s fairly costly.

Also, as an aside- this belongs in the science community more than tech in my opinion.

I’m fairly certain that this is what’s being cited. The journalism, unfortunately, is quite poor and it’s hard to confirm precisely what article she was referring to.

hey there, removing this because its not a gaming article, feel free to repost it in a more appropriate community

Disgusting typical techbro behavior, I hate it.

wild they managed to keep it under wraps for so long given its so soon

Sept 4 like, 2 weeks from now? or 1 year and 2 weeks lol

The president really made an executive order about preventing woke AI? Humanity is cooked fam

That’s going to take some research and a rewrite to get it looking like those it was trained to match. You need to be adding synonyms and dependencies because the AIs lack any model of how we actually do IT, they only see correlations between words.

Very simple solution: ask AI to rewrite your resume for specific job applications or fields.

As someone who lives in SF, yup. I’m sick and tired of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association. The only positive about them is that for confusing measures, they make it clear which direction to vote - always against them.

FYI this was already posted to technology, here.

Having seen how so many average people are using AI, I’m sadly not surprised that people are just going with whatever is up there, even when it is wrong.

The difference is that Camacho is a himbo, our current president is more of a bridge troll

Public input was nothing but a facade anyways. We all know under current president they are being gutted and only listen to corporations.

It’s almost entirely medically irrelevant, and the times in which it becomes medically relevant you need to go to a doctor to manage the transition and they can explain to you the times where you need to disclose it (practically never).

With the increasing concentration/divide of wealth, this is only going to get worse without regulation. It’s frustratingly easy to solve, yet places suffering from this problem seem to be hesitant to solve it in the simplest of ways possible - add a flat tax to anyone who owns more than one property or is not a resident.

War on homeless, really? This fucking country I s2g

consultant-approved campaign

The same consultants who have repeatedly said the democrats need to keep pulling to the right. It’s entirely unsurprising that doing exactly what they don’t advise is what’s winning over people, lmao.

I think it’s probably much more mundane; they simply see an opening so they’re going to throw him under the bus so they can be the next king.

In a way, it’s extremely surprising. I agree that it seems wild for this to be what takes down the house of cards.

On the other hand, trying to think of it through the lens of someone already living within the conspiracism bubble, I do think this issue is notably different. Bragging about being a rapist is just how they talk, because they explicitly endorse sexism. That’s just “boys being boys” and whatnot. Unity is necessary to impose a collective will, so some level of bad behavior is excusable so long as you’re towing the party line. But they spent far too long mysticizing and building up the epstein files and importantly it reflected a value that they collectively held - to protect the children. For something which was so central to their conspiracist theorems (just like the deep state, except in this case it was a plausibly real thing) to be discarded so wantonly like this without a clear and plausible explanation which maintains their theories (even Alex Jones couldn’t resolve his cognitive dissonance on this entirely… is Trump actually a deep state actor?!)? Well that is a difficult pill to swallow.

Maybe someone will be creative enough to weave a story which both explains and allows them to continue to press on with their core beliefs of a global elite running the world and them fighting back against it but somehow Trump not being part of said cabal and instead acting on their behalf. If that happens, I’m sure it’ll spread like wildfire among them because it’ll help them suspend their disbelief. One can simply hope they implode upon themselves because right now things are looking exceptionally bleak for the US not nose-diving directly into fascism and being at the center of WW3 and a Nazi 2.0 movement
