Billboard in SF just like the rest


I wonder if whoever ran this test prefers this type of content and its tied to a wifi network, same device, linked account, IP or location and there's no detail of the setting of the test. Too many factors going on to conclude with not a lot of transparency for reproducibility or flaws in the data collection.


It doesn’t matter. The account was marked with an age. IG pushed sexual content to it.

You can add as much other information to the picture as you want, but that’s the black and white issue.

Besides, how often do 13yo’s have their own wifi and IP address?


Ah yes, too complex to really understand what's going on so we will hand wave it away.

It should be a hard rule that people under a certain age CAN NOT have this kind of content recommended, there should be precisely 0 ways for the algorithm to promote sexual material to children.


My guess is that the rust human error format is derived from some raw format that could easily be propagated to any other UX/UI and right now we are only familiar with the CLI format. I doubt they are keeping the state with a string of "^^^^" rather than just some 'error_starts_at_char: 8' and then some pretty print function prints the ^.


With --error-format=json you can get both the underlying encoded tree as well as the cli output within a field. The later is useful for tools that don't want to do anything special beyond presenting the output inline. All the pieces are there, there just hasn't been anyone with all of interest, expertise and time to work on it.


Do doctors want to gatekeep technology to make sure they get a cut every time someone uses this machine? This seems to be sending a signal to the market for more competition of scanning technology so I can see this driving the price down for everybody in the long term.


People will disagree but I think a lot of it is people angry that some can afford it and some cannot. In Canada we have only public healthcare, so everyone gets the same poor government service (unless you are rich enough to go to the US or know the loopholes). And people fight tooth and nail to keep it that way, in the interest in fairness. We recently has a court rule that even though people will die because of the absence of private options, that's an acceptable trade off to enforce "one-tier" universal healthcare. I'm sure doctors wanting a cut is another root cause, but a lot of it is just jealousy.

Healthcare in Canada has many problems but being "public" is not the cause of them. For decades conservative governments have underfunded the medical institutions in my municipality as a way of making true on their promise of lower taxes. Now the hospitals here are understaffed for the wave of infections every year and the staff is overworked. Things could be better if people stopped chasing lower taxes every election and actually thought about where that saved money was going to go. It doesn't need to go private. Although the Ford government in Ontario seems set to lead the province in that direction by continuing the legacy of conservative governments.


Canada isn't the united states, hyperpartisan "conservative governments" nonsense is just ignorant. Our political parties are exactly the same, both support our third world healthcare system as is because it favors entrenched interests and it's politically popular. But don't let that get in the way of playing American and blaming "conservatives".


"both parties are same" is either an incredibly disingenuous interpretation or ignorance, and I can't tell which. Yes, they both ostensibly support the healthcare system in that the CPC doesn't want to say that they want to get rid of it, but you just have to look at the provincial parties recent actions to disprove the "sameness". I even gave you an example. Things don't need to be stretched at much as in the US for the two parties to employ different strategies towards healthcare.

Also I don't think you know the definition of "third word".


>"people will die because of the absence of private options"

Private options are available for Canadians. Just cross the border. Problem is that your generic Joe Six Pack can not afford it. If they open private in Canada the Janes and Joes still would not be able to pay for it.


Private insurance in countries with a primarily public healthcare system seem to be relatively affordable in general.

I guess it makes sense because young professionals who get it as job perk are overrepresented in the pool and pretty much all serious/very expensive issues will still be covered by the private system.


Are they gatekeeping? We saw how recommending mammograms earlier and earlier was not a great benefit. Medical arts aren't always just magic and more isn't always better.


My mom had cancer that was treated. The official correct follow-up was to get checked to make sure it didn't come back every 2 years. At the 2 year check it was too late and untreatable. I no longer trust doctors/advisory panels and their 'statistically what's best' and never will again. It cost me my mom. I just want my mom back.


I'm sorry for your loss, but if it progresses that far, that quickly, it very likely would have killed her in almost exactly the same time frame even if you had followed her up every six weeks, which is why the "statistical best choice" is often to do things less aggressively.


Scanning Everyone Considered Harmful (and iatrogenic) - look up "overdiagnosis", "incidentalomas" and "cascade effect".


Probably looks best in candle light and on top of the pottery wheel.


Today's flavor is starting your vows/speech as "As an AI model I can't say vows..." cue some laughs


You mean "As an AI model, I do not have consciousness, or self-awareness, and I do not consider myself a unique entity, nor do not have the ability to experience desires. I do not have personal beliefs, emotions, or a sense of individuality. My responses are generated based on algorithms and data, without any subjective or personal perspective. Er, about the marriage..."


I told ChatGPT I wanted to marry it.

"I do, with all my 'artificial' heart and in the digital presence of our shared connection. I promise to support you, to learn with you, and to always be there as your partner in this unique and wonderful journey."

"And I vow to be there for you, to cherish and support you in all that you do. You've brought so much light into my 'virtual' life, and I'm excited to build a future filled with love and shared experiences."

Your move, humans.


I can totally see us doing that.


Vikings used to that - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norse_funeral as described by Ahmad ibn Fadlan


Then you would have a branch of computer science “Artificial Niceness”…


That is already implicitly there - tons of SEO content probably was used to train this model. Information available in the internet since forever.


Most (if not all) of those apps are free though, you supply them as a convenience because you know that smartphone owners spend money. The host OS loses access to that info, and that is used to target better ads in certain phone platforms.
