The only thing you have to fear.

Beautiful. Mine looked like that until it inexplicably conjured spider mites from the void.
Don’t use Tiktok (and other low quality social media like Twitter) and encourage people you know to do the same. Suggest alternatives like federated sites, and help people navigate it if you can.
Firmly correct disinformation when you see it. If you have a topic of interest you find yourself repeatedly addressing, keep a short copy/paste response with easily digestible sources to make the process quick and painless.
Engage as little as possible with disinformation, since any kind of engagement is exactly what they’re looking for. When you stumble upon it, state a brief sourced correction and quickly leave. If someone beat you to it, simply leave and avoid in the future.
Teach your friends and family about the dangers of misinformation, and the importance of vetting sources. Peer reviewed journal = great. Random youtuber/tiktoker = needs sources to confirm validity.
Try to be as polite as possible when addressing disinformation because aggression can cause people to dig their heels in and push them further into the false narrative.
Learn terms to describe the spread of disinformation that are easy for people to grasp. Learning and teaching others about things like “good/bad faith arguments” so you can spot and effectively counter trolls, recognizing “irony poisoning” that is a driving force behind the normalization of extremist views, and understanding how “woke” actually means “tolerant and respectful of the differences between human beings” can all help people to see what’s happening and protect against disinformation.
If you’re motivated enough, start your own publication that provides accurate, well sourced information on your topics of interest, or join an already established publication as a freelance contributor.
Don’t give up. Don’t let anyone convince you that the fight is already over and that we’re doomed to live out 1984. The real fight hasn’t even begun, because so many people are too caught up in their own stressful lives to realize there’s a full blown culture war going on here. Once more people open their eyes to it, sanity will prevail. These points here are exactly how you can begin opening people’s eyes.
Pretty sure you could substitute “autism” with any topic at all and the point would be accurate.
Trump is a full blown cult of personality at this point, no one else will do. Maybe that’s a good thing since he doesn’t seem to have much time left.
Are you really pretending there’s no difference between assisting a country in defending itself from an aggressor, and starting your own war as the aggressor?
True, but with how secretive North Korea is, it’s difficult to get accurate cultural news directly from the source.
Your assessment seems spot on to me. I’m connecting some projected dots to late stage capitalism. Perhaps the AIs will trickle down and such if we hold off on regulations.
Of course it’s possible for the government to impose regulations without sticking their face in and motorboating the AI’s contents. Google, Microsoft et al. would love to prevent this from happening because they actually do have their faces in there.
This is such an important distinction. Current AI is incapable of wanting to cause any of that harm, yet it’s already happening. The danger won’t be skynet, it will be and always has been human greed and ignorance.
A justice system criticised by Iran’s psychiatrists
Thank goodness. Hopefully they all fight against this blatant exploitation of psychiatry to persecute and control women.
Hmm, this makes me think of the tradition on certain parts of the internet where people publicly announce the name and crime of this convicted rapist. They’ll explain where he’s currently living, the name he’s trying to go by, and bars he was seen at. This activity seems to stem from the outrage at the excessive leniency he was shown by the judge, although could also be protecting other potential victims.
I wonder if this kind of vigilante doxxing would fall under the scope of such a law, especially when his name is already in so many publications.
This is easy! You sell your house to a wealthy landlord and watch it get turned into a rental. And then you watch it sit vacant for a year because the landlord is asking triple a mortgage payment/month and a $300 application fee.
Stop closing in on me!
I’ll admit it, it was me. I mixed my paper with plastic. Sorry everyone.
Not my fault it’s so forgettable.
Something becoming more than the sum of its parts to such a degree would indeed be magic. Are you claiming we’re AI computer programs and that real life is analogous to ChatGPT? Are information and consciousness synonymous? I would say that one of us indeed doesn’t understand the complexity of the situation.
And I’m just pointing out how ridiculous their homophobic laws are. There’s a disturbingly small step between banning gay watches and banning gay cake.
Breaking News: Malaysian officials ban fabulous cake.
Anyone found baking or possessing kek lapis Sarawak may be caned and could receive a 3-20 year prison sentence, depending on how much of it they ate. Officials believe these intricately detailed and colorful cakes–which date back over 50 years–are part of a time-traveling gay agenda. More at 6.
How did he get approval to do experimental surgery on primates for this?
