As a mushroom picker this thing right here was my first big issue with the AI grift. It doesn’t take a tech bro to understand how these models cannot actually give advice on anything because they make no decisions.

There was a really inreresting study locally on the heuristics of mushroom picking, turns out it’s one of the riskiest foraging things we humans do and one where we have culturally developed very efficient and well working precautionary principles. It is a pretty perfect example of how an AI model is not intelligent in any way.

I really hate how they now open with “This was a healthy teenager prior to this, so no underlying conditions."

Meaning that if it was one of the “undesirables” who can’t be used by capital, nobody would have to care.

Sometimes I have to wonder if all of what I am experiencing as mediated reliaty is actually real.

The Onion should just pack it up, we live in the most absurd of times.

I’m just going to voice my appreciation for these regional posts you do here.

I often hope to emulate this from my country, but typically run out of spoons (also avoiding national news due to it triggering me these days).

We need correspondants for all the places in the world, this is the best way to read news.

This was immediately reported on by our state media with the angle that reports about this were supressed in social media and reporting it in the media there took until the next day.

I only saw this because I saw a comrade post about it elsewhere critizicing our state media on their angle (as filming the sites of accidents is illegal in many places in the west as well).
