So we aren't seeing any risk in anyone being able to have one's medical data if the other party has the money for it? Especially when some of that medical care is being banned in regions this data isn't treated legally like medical data and have bounties on people reporting on that healthcare received else where?
Instead, the conclusion is just western women are accountability dodging sheeple that are just being coddled?
I think it's missing the eclectic element of personal style that fits your body that makes it timeless. Where adding the flavour of the current trend to your existing style more than having the trend now
Everyone in the comments seem to not like the article or see it as a waste of time. I just don't think we are the audience they wanted for this, I think they want to show the average business owner the realistic potential and public (journalists that will distill this later) they are aware of the impacts and what to expect.
I don't read it as fear AI, I read change is happening because of AI.
Tools empower those with knowledge further than those without knowledge. The fact that people were concerned layman were simply going to be able to take on experienced programmers at their day jobs was farcical.
It seems like you get downvoted, but I think you touch on something important. IMO, right now there are two limitations with AI replacing experienced developers:
a) It's not good enough at programming. It sometimes goes down rabbit holes and cannot get out. In other cases it comes up with ridiculously complicated solutions that could be solved much simpler.
b) Making assumptions instead of gathering requirements.
I suspect that a) will get better over time. I also suspect that b) can be addressed by a pre-programmed prompt-flow that uses a LLM to gather requirements from a PM and ask probing questions to get a well-defined scope and agree on how edge cases should be handled. It doesn't seem far-fetched that a AI also would be able to call out small requirement changes that might allow for much simpler/faster solutions.
That is also what I think will happen, I mean these tools right now are just capturing market share with funding rounds and hacks surly? wrapping any foundational modal and trying to scope it down is always going to suck, but once people start to truly nail just training in only the information required to do that job (I described 03-high-mini or whatever it's called as a dumb finance bro with no depth to my wife) and then couch the task LLMs with orchestration LLMs, surly things improve?
I honestly don’t know who the audience could be, other than “people who like to tell others they’re in the know because they read AI companies’ press releases.”
At no point do I see an actual elevator pitch/tl;dr/summary of what the frak this index actually is, except that it’s part of some effort to track AI adoption. It just rains down figures about which industries are using how much AI without first grounding the new concept they’re introducing.
When you say you have a new economic index, you need to give me a number, how I should interpret that number, and where it comes from. I don’t see that.
GDP: measure if a country’s total economic output by adding up end product purchases.
CPI: general price level by taking a weighted average of prices throughout the economy
Big Mac index: how expensive goods are in a country relative to the US by reference to the local cost of a Big Mac, converted through the exchange rate.
Here I expect something like “the economic output-weighted fraction of production taken over by AI”, but instead it’s just a list of AI adoption by industry.
Why introduce an index and not headline with a definition of an index? Which audience prefers that?
I think it's safe to assume that's where things are headed slowly. After the treasury situation, I think its more than fair to assume they aren't going to be only bloat or operating in good faith when their stance is to get rid of the systems entirely.
Remember when he bought twitter and gutted it? Child safty department was cut to the bone and they barely got away without any legal issues. Numerous core services failed leaving twitter/x barely operating for days. And this was with the tenured professionals keeping things running, now he seems to be using a bunch of people with under 5 years experience in the work force let alone in these sectors/technology.
Weird to say but could be a relevant anecdote, as a trans person, that avoids politics in my socials but watches trans creators. I've never gotten a platform that doesn't show me the trans negative politics in my feeds after engaging with trans creators. I find I only get the positive politics AFTER I ignore or dislike the negatives ones.
I'd be inclined to think it's because trans people are more likely to engage with anti-trans posts.
I'm a cis lesbian and I only get pro-trans content, BUT I do get a lot of 'random bisexuals shitting on lesbians' content.
I've also noticed that when I scroll away from political posts from the left, it almost immediately tries to give me political posts from the right. The algorithm doesn't seem to pick up that my main concern with political content is whether or not it's FUNNY. The only political content I want to see on TikTok is shitposts, but the algo seems to operate under a pretty basic 'If scroll past left/right, then show right/left'.
I think if the algo showed alot of ED triggering content to ED survivors as well then I'd be more likely to agree thats the primary driver and not just an influence.
I'm not sure but anti-trans content/socializing in general is primarily a driver for poor mental health with trans people. Not engaging and blocking a lot of the content is day 1 advice in the community. Also, a lot of anti-trans content is targeting non-passing trans people, which is often full of ways to trigger ones dysphoria and dysmorphia. Like there are keyboard warriors for sure but i don't know anyone that intentionally watches that stuff and most even avoid tiktok entirely because of it
And I'm skeptical it even identifies me as trans if i'm just watching a few trans people that aren't talking about trans issues or experiences really. Where i scroll past much more xyz issue that affects females in particular, when it's trying to diagnosis me (which i think is cause of my health/nutrition interest it trys to convince me xyz is cause i'm not balancing my hormones or its pocs or assumes my period is terrible lol)
I'd say with the reverse being very true as well would largely just make it so once you get anything close to touching the topic it tosses out which ever side they think you'll engage with the most.
For more anecdotal context, my other interests lean into a demographic/stereotype of an upper middle class pilates/health/cleangirl girliepop. Which from my experience they centrist/ambivalent maybe skew left but not inherently pro trans.

I'm not sure this is accurate, speaking as someone whose social circle has a lot of people in that group and who also sometimes ends up on that side of the algo. For various reasons, it's only socially acceptable to be outspokenly on the left in that group (more so for women over the age of 25/30), but there's a sizable minority who either disagree with certain topics or are more aligned with the right, but they aren't going to jeopardize their social circles or (particularly in the case of content creators) their audience.
It's the girl version of the men who put 'apolitical' on dating apps to hide being a conservative because they don't want to limit their dating prospects.
I agree and disagree! To clarify, when I say centre/centre left I mean neoliberal and left being more aoc/burny leaning. It is very acceptable to neoliberal, but often not worth the political risk to go further than that and vice versa. Neoliberal isn't inherently protrans, and in general people see trans people in two ways, example for trans women a different type of male(biology) vs a different type of woman(social construct). Where depending on their ideology and their view as mentioned, it determines what trans issues they will come to bat and risk talking about.
Yeah, we're talking within the general Overton window. Views that are outside of that (and particularly outside a binary) aren't going to do well with the algorithm. (It's interesting to me that you instinctually divide the views on trans people into a binary!)
There are just a lot more secret conservatives in that group than one might expect from outward appearances. The center of the Overton Window is as far 'right' as they can go without losing their audience. I can usually pick up on it pretty clearly, but I also worked in political communications for a while and became very sensitive to signaling and find it a fascinating topic. I wouldn't be shocked if the algorithm picks up on the association and assumes some similarity between down-low conservatives and forthright conservatives and starts serving the latter to viewers of the former.
Haven't tried, I got off twitter and insta 2 years ago. I've been meaning to try it but its often hard to build up a feed again on one of those platforms it often just feels empty or if you don't follow the right people cluttered.
100% I started not passing then lost a ton of weight and found out I have alot of traditionally feminine interests. I went from being spat at in the street and almost attacked with no help, to people going out of their way to protect me from creepy men following me.
From my experience passing, how attractive you are, and your interests/hobbies are all attached to how well you a treated in the world right now.
Trans people call it passing privilege for a reason.
True but I think it's out of touch to not see the trans part as effecting the severity factor to it. Like some of the first advice most trans women get only wear shoes you can run in. Where in my experience if you aren't enough of those three you'll get chased down and no one will care to help.
I only started dressing as a woman again after I couldn't pass as a guy anymore and learned how to be as attractive as I could be. Which is a common experience amongst trans women
Or when the side that said they were gonna be totally above doing that and were pro free speech started censoring 'cisgender', people that got traction making fun of them/calling them out and criticisms of governments committing war crimes.
Maybe its cause people realise its a purely profit interested business with lots of influence that will change to what ever governmetns want to stay in business. Even drastically changing algorithms to meet regulatory needs like the EU's or who evers incharges feelings like china/usa/russia
Because most know someone that has had covid. Then still its not public knowledge it can be as debilitating as it is, even IQ loss and brain fog effect should be better understood by the public as well.
Plus its not well researched so we should at least be trying to get the symptoms that are proven out there so we can get more information on it
Well I don't think someone adapting to new disabilities or impairments should be punished for it. So if someone is getting PIP'd a few months after returning from covid and aren't performing, I think theres a lot of moral failings as a manager/owner/employer you can have if you don't take it into account.
Also, why is it wrong to want to provide grace to those dealing with it? Like suddenly losing IQ or getting a cognitive impairment is a huge part of someone's life, there are non-invasive and non-condescending ways to support them
Instead, the conclusion is just western women are accountability dodging sheeple that are just being coddled?
