Where I live, the death penalty in the Philippines is abolished for almost three decades, yet some people I met -- especially middle- and lower-class people -- insist on having it and corporal punishment reinstated, believing society would be supposedly much safer like Saudi Arabia (which does carry out forced amputation and beheading, but still is not really an effective deterrent), but ignoring completely that their everyday problems such as petty thievery are ultimately caused by class struggle and unequal distribution of wealth and resources.

That although there were no execution of prisoners during the Duterte regime, nonetheless thousands have been executed for minor drug-related offenses with not even seeing a courtroom, by either hired gunmen or by law-enforcement officials in disguise.

It's why some people now bypass Baguio for Sagada or lesser known destinations.

It is but a consequence of the failure of the Philippine government to try provide the unprivileged their basic needs, especially education, food security, and medical treatment, what with taxpayers' money being siphoned by politicians and subcontractors for things like Italian sports cars, two week vacations to Europe, and obnoxiously huge birthday parties.

So instead private citizens end up having to make philanthropic gestures to schools and hospitals.

I'm doing my part to fund education!

Sure is, but the bigger picture is.... the Philippine government is hard-pressed trying to fund education but much of the tax money ended up being splurged by some subcontractors and politicians, especially with the ongoing investigation regarding UNFINISHED flood control projects.

Having seen fucking crypto and NFTs and now this LLM abomination, their fucking greed and narcissism... absolutely nauseating.

What is tragic, though, there are whole countries being pushed by their governments -- already lobbied by big techbros promising "miracles" -- to normalize LLMs as if these are nothing to worry about, anywhere from queries to create posters and... fuck damn, essays.

He's but acting on behalf of this cabal. They played the very long game to get to this point, but nowhere near achieving their "Christian" white dominion.

Being a doctor is one of the jobs expected to be least at risk from AI replacement. But a new program launched in Utah is raising questions over that assumption. A healthcare startup will begin offering AI examinations and prescriptions to patients without direct human oversight, making Utah the first state to replace a doctor with an AI.

The good news is that the program is currently very limited in its scope. It's just one year long and only for patients with mild-to-moderate acne.

The process works when a person signs up for Nolla Health's $4.99-per-month app and uses it to scan their face. After completing a medical history and personal information form, the AI analyzes their skin, identifies the acne problem, rates the skin's oiliness, and then generates a numerical acne severity score that ranges between clear skin and severe acne, reports Bloomberg.

Boss of OpenAI calls for a regulatory light touch because of the ‘good stuff’ the technology can deliver

The chief executive of OpenAI cited hacks, scams and “other bad things that will happen” in an interview that sparked an instant backlash from critics of the big AI companies. His comments came after one of his company’s safety experts resigned, saying at the weekend that its “culture is broken”.

In an interview released on Monday, Altman was asked about how OpenAI’s approach to safety differed from that of Anthropic, which has called for the industry to slow down after one of its researchers quit, warning that AI experts believed “it could kill us all by the end of the decade”.

“I think there’s a lot of daylight,” Altman said. “One of the differences between us and some of the stricter AI safety people is that we believe that the world should accept some bad things happening for the benefits of this technology and people having the agency [to use AI widely].

Some, I believe, have medical teams paid on retainer.

 

Ugh.

Everytime I see someone's house with so many religious imagery, I think of Carrie White's mother.

They're expensive, but also the only manufacturer now making high-end 80mm fans with PWM.

Ok, seems he got injured after a stupid ride on a souped-up e-scooter, and then got stoned on some weird meds which had him speaking of a colorful trip.
