skye

how the tables have turned. We went from using Malaria to ‘cure’ STDs (syphilis), and now we’re using STDs to get rid of Malaria

I suppose it depends on the building, where I went to vote (and most places i’ve seen in live coverages) just had plain blueish curtains

I mean, people can simultaneously realise the gravity of this, AND poke fun at the coincidence thst the Pope died after meeting JD Vance.

You aren’t contributing much either by making an entire comment criticising those people. Why not ignore and move on and make an useful comment?

It’s also okay to not have something important or ground-breaking to say. I don’t think people saying JD killing him are ruining the internet.

because Donald “I will let Netyanahu finish the job” Trump is somehow better for this. Get your head out of your ass lol

AI Training, compared to crypto, has at least been used in medicine to:

Create novel proteins based on specific requirements (useful for developing medicine): https://www.cell.com/chem/fulltext/S2451-9294(23)00139-0?_returnURL=https%3A%2F%2Flinkinghub.elsevier.com%2Fretrieve%2Fpii%2FS2451929423001390%3Fshowall%3Dtrue

Detect possible cancer: https://hms.harvard.edu/news/new-artificial-intelligence-tool-cancer#:~:text=CHIEF achieved nearly 94 percent,datasets containing 11 cancer types.

And there’s many more uses you can easily find if you look into it. Don’t just assume every LLM slop is all what AI is. Even LLMs probably have their use in stuff actually relating to language, such as translation.

scrolling in the comment section of this news article, i’ve only seen people either being concerner/shocked, and some sarcastically talking about recycling or something. Nothing about masturbation.

And if your criticism of lemmy is that it’s being reddit with elitism, then why try to gatekeep the way people are going to react to an article on c/science? Are we all supposed to have degrees in chemistry or biology before making a comment?

Believe it or not people take heavy news a million different ways and react differently. People ending up making a masturbation joke after discussing microplastics in testicles (i assume this is what happened) harm nothing and no one.
