I do check, but would you have guessed that this has been a problem in our community for a long time? To the point that actual riots have broken out over the dangers of crossing that street? No? Of course you wouldn’t because almost no one bothers with local history.
It’s gonna become a class action fairly quickly I’d imagine.
Can’t wait for one of these pieces of shit to hit me while I’m on campus. I already almost get hit at least once a day with how bad some people are at not stopping or checking.
We know he doesn’t have a problem with that, he also doesn’t have a problem with an insurrection
There is so many damn things on the list, like why do you need 700,000+ ways to ruin the future
Fuck that meme is so old it has Domo in it
So bright we had to remove the lampshade!
Is it really though? I haven’t touched it since the very early days of slop ai. That was before I learned of how awful it is to real people
Idiots and voting against their own best interests
As much as I dislike Windows and smartphones the current nature of the world is that that are all necessities for most people.
Windows just has so many programs built up with it over the years and it’s really hard to convince people to jump to Linux and deal with all the compatibility problems. Things are getting better, but right now it’s like real time raytracing with how it’s perpetually 4-5 years away from being realistic.
Smartphones are an absolute necessity for the vast majority of people. If you don’t have a laptop or some other computer your phone is likely the only way you are able to apply for jobs nowadays. It’s also the easiest way to access your banking services with plenty of banks offering online banking now. Let alone social media and how important that has become in everyday life. Sure dumb phones can handle calling, texting and voicemail but for most people that isn’t enough anymore.
Our mental health and the demands of the modern world are at odds. I doubt we can or will ever go back to simpler technology because of the way things are in the world.
I was really hoping it would help with this since I have a disability that affects the joints in legs and my knees hurt the most from that. So this isn’t really anything too interesting, but still kinda neat.
I’ve never thought of anyone supporting LLMs in any sort of positive light. The ethical questions behind the creation of the largest models alone should have been enough to kill the tech in the first place. Let alone the insane environmental impacts and how this tech has undo any slight progress we have made in slowing climate change.
We are so fucked as a society if we continue letting corporations run wild and unchecked like this for any longer.
3 humans is really generous, it has to be just 1 person overseeing all the bots with how much horrendous shit flies over there.
Okay so now Epic is getting 0% on 0 sales rather than 12% on zero sales.
Just challenge Steam with better buyer protections and you will actually make proper check out your store. Cause we know after years of your service trying to attract AAA publishers that no Steam users swapped over.
One I am all for
I absolutely agree these “researchers” deserve to lose their tenure and lose their funding. In my mind they don’t even deserve to be called researchers anymore as they view their job as an extractive one. They hold no regard for the people they impacted and how that impacts the entire fields of research.
If the university does protect these people than I can only hope that no one signs up to participate in any future studies they try to conduct.
It sickens me how people use the phrase to justify harming others.
There are very good reasons why our modern code of ethics exist in the first place. We as researchers are not there to do harm but instead to try to uplift the people we work with in the process. We are not there to extract information, but to work with people to help better understand how to improve their lives.
The Milgram Experiment while fascinating, is deeply unethical in its own right and should not be used as an example of anything other than the damage that is cause by conducting an unethical study. That study alone has cause many would be participants to walk away because how can they be trusted with a new study. The experiment was not stopped by the researchers when it was clear the participants were under high pressure and showing visible signs of stress. This is not an extractive field like you imply, it is a morally bankrupt philosophy to have that mindset.
Compensating participants is a sign of goodwill and shows you value their time and work put in. Does not matter if trauma is brought up or created like with the Milgram Experiment. You do it because it creates goodwill and helps people feel safer in the knowledge that both you and the institution you represent actually care. It is not for debate on what circumstances you offer compensation, you just offer it.
The greater good does not come with predatory extractive experiments but instead with studies that value and care for its participants. It is impossible to know just how many people have been turned away from participating because of studies like the one the article is on, the Milgram Experiment and the Stanford Prison Experiment. What we do know is that they have had an extremely negative effect on the perception of academic research and turn people away.
Like this has been a problem since at least the fucking 60’s, caused riots in the 70’s because of how dangerous it got. After the riots they dropped the speed limit and that made it better for a time. 3 years ago they had to install new systems at the crosswalks to flash blinking lights and to audibly tell drivers to stop because it was getting dangerous again.
Maybe just maybe I am not the asshole for expecting drivers to pay attention and respect the fact that they are driving through a university. Maybe just maybe they shouldn’t be driving through the university if they can’t be bothered to pay attention.
