Mass bleaching has been monitored throughout the Great Barrier Reef since the 80s. There was certainly bleaching but not at the level seen in the years listed, and look how that frequency changed. I doubt it’s because we got better at documenting bleaching effects. The important thing is that bleaching to some degree is normal, but typically the population would have time to recover before the next event, and they would be localized. Large scale and every year doesn’t allow recovery.

The max thresholds don’t mean it’s fine if it’s lower, just that at some point it becomes difficult to both detect the presence of things and there’s a limit on how much can be prevented. If we were progressing in time correctly we should be lowering these maximum levels both in the ability of detection and in the beginning sources. Especially in cases like this where either the metals are being added or are part of specific ingredients that would cost more to process and remove the metals.
And wow, they said Washington State was lower than the FDA, but that’s a magnitude less! Good job, Washington!
Monty Python makes more sense than reality. I wish a moose would bite Trump.
I haven’t seen the sequel to it yet, and sort of was fine leaving it open-ended. I can see how there are dark parts to that episode, mainly from sticking with Dark Mirror’s premise that tech can be used badly. It also paints a not-so-great picture of the real people, hero worship, maybe the gaming industry? The sim copies seem to make out the best of anyone. Definitely a favorite, if I’d rate it on dark vs. positive, it’s 8/10 positive, whereas San Junipero was a 10/10 in the end. Actually San was a 9/10, as it did show that some used the tech there as escape and didn’t grow like the main characters finally did.
This felt like reading about someone who complains that The Daily Show doesn’t have enough positive news stories on it. Dark Mirror fills a niche that people look for, it’s not something that making people think a certain way.
And no mention at all of San Junipero. I guess that would break selling it as pessimism porn when there’s examples otherwise.
The penguin is okay, that’s the only thing important here.
“I love this “Make America Great Again” thing and I’m going to overuse it for every damn thing I can. The slogan, I’m not to actually do anything constructive.”
Right? It’s the biggest circus of all. Do you really want all those clowns looking for something else to do?
War, cold war, or trade war? Maybe a mix, like trade war (since that seems to be sticking around) and a proxy war that the US is using to keep the war supply industry rolling (since he had broken all other industries).
Don’t forget plenty of other pandemic potentials, especially since the US officially doesn’t recognize any problems anymore like climate or pollution or science.
You’d have to demonstrate that all other countries not only just use metric, but also only sell products that already only have metric on the packaging. I don’t doubt dual labeling is heavily a US thing, but I doubt it’s only US. Simply to keep packaging making universal. Now that could be altered if such a ban was put in place, and maybe most non-US places wouldn’t care too much…but we need a sampling of what’s already out there to even say if it’s a thing that can be used.

Falling without style?
You’re correct, it’s more likely that humans will use a lesser version (eg. an LLM) to screw things up, assuming it’s doing what it says it’s doing while it’s not. That’s why I say that AI safety applies to any of this, not just a hypothetical AGI. But again, it doesn’t seem to matter, we’re just going to go full throttle and get what we get.
I know there’s some that roll their eyes at the mention of AI safety, saying that what we have isn’t AGI and won’t become it. That’s true, but that doesn’t eliminate the possibilities of something in the future. And between this and China’s laxness of trying everything to be first, if we get to that point, we’ll find out the hard way who was right.
The laughable part is that the safeguards put up by Biden’s admin were very vague and lacking of anything anyway. But that doesn’t matter now.
Those using Mbin are trying to do our part. We’re a small percentage, but we’re here.
The issue from the beginning was that people wanted to pick where there were already discussions. .world had already started growing a lot more, so new users gravitated to that. As drama happened, there was some splintering, but since you can’t take your history and account with you, there was also resistance to move. What you suggest was discussed during the first big migration to the Fediverse for Lemmy, but it takes time to put things in place and it was already too late to really fix the lopsidedness of who was where.
It’s still a good idea for new users, maybe instead of randomizing have a way to categorize the types of instances and their rules, so people go where they’ll be the happiest. The best way to fix the problem though is to come up with a secure and privacy protecting way to fully move a user from instance to instance. Good luck with that.

Not yet.
The real market if this does hit actual shelves is whoever creates adapters for existing products.
A company would look at this and determine not that LLMs might have something going on that would be bad for long term business. They would see the bigger net dollar amount and figure that they just had to calculate when to “reset” the LLM. It’s just another IT problem where the solution isn’t to address the problem but to find a workaround that reduces cost while continuing operations.
