unfriendly reminder: dismantling public health is a *right wing project*. Don't support their work by saying "during Covid" when you mean "during Covid lockdowns" or "back when people still took Covid seriously".

We have normalized condoms and STD testing. We can do better with airborne diseases than sticking our heads in the sand in the face of life destroying, incurable diseases like Long Covid that current vaccines does not reliably protect against.

@Jorsh @adhdeanasl @dlakelan it really gives you pause, doesn't it? "just doing my job" is precisely what most regular ass Nazis did, so they were being "professional" but deeply inhumane

I boosted the "Kill Yr Substack" browser extension earlier today but undid that given a) it's vibe coded, b) not available in the official extension store, c) supposedly MIT licensed but the source is not made available. Laudable effort in principle but extremely dodgy behavior upon closer inspection.

@ariadne@social.treehouse.systems @whitequark@social.treehouse.systems the fundamental problem of LLMs having no idea about facts or truth (while at the same time extruding confidently wrong text) remains unsolved, as a psychologist I continue to view LLMs as deeply unethical (in the sense that they're accidental master manipulators and nobody is immune to gaslighting). How do you (target audience: non-programmers!) distinguish "tool took 47 seconds for the job" vs "tool just extruded text claiming the job was done"?

@xgranade@wandering.shop @whitequark@social.treehouse.systems and mild is sadly relative - deaths have declined by several orders of magnitude, but it's a multi-organ disease ... just the other day I saw this study which showed damage to the brain's dopamine system even in people who didn't have Long Covid but a history of infection(s). No surprise then that LC has exacerbated my ADHD by a *ton* https://www.thelancet.com/journals/ebiom/article/PIIS2352-3964(26)00222-7/fulltext #CovidIsNotOver

@poppyhaze@girlcock.club @BenAveling@infosec.exchange lol that seems to be a pattern, I recently asked copilot web to vibe code something, it told me it'll get right to it and then just never responded back (I don't use LLMs except for the occasional countering of "see, it works now" fools)

@glyph@mastodon.social Biard is of course a barely disguised fashbro clown not worthy of our time; that said I think it's misguided to entertain the idea of LLMs having a "made-mistake" failure mode, as they just don't operate in the realm of facts and reality. The way I see it they "hallucinate" 100% of the time and are only ever accidentally correct — gaslighting as a service, if you will

Grew tired of the compounding issues on my Pop!Os (mainly caused by it being based on an outdated Ubuntu) so I gave #cachyOS a try. Very impressed with the installer and always liked #arch in general. Some rough edges, mostly in the form of missing dependencies (waybar lacks icon fonts, sway lacks swaybg) but that's all solvable. What continues to piss me off though is how shitty complicated it is to consistently set up dark mode. Someone solve this pls.

@emilymbender this is something I've been curious about, if you don't mind the question: do LLMs in particular actually improve upon machine translation? I theorized they would perform worse than more bespoke approaches https://chaos.social/@dngrs/116216862228341155
