I didn’t invent the term. Not my fault you don’t know it.

There’s a big difference between actual fact-checking, and the “fact-checking” industry which is controlled by powerful interests to help sell their narrative.

Well, the court does. This is coming from Carr, who’s been trying to make headlines for his gubernatorial run.

In Georgia, where this is happening, they also consider not having a phone to be probable cause for arrest.

There’s plenty of other factors that need to be considered. There will be significant differences in iron levels, b12, calcium, vitamin d, etc.

If you’re vegetarian/vegan, you absolutely need to monitor multiple other levels and take the appropriate supplements. Pretending otherwise is really dangerous.

You think the Dems won’t help them do it? The Democrats are already backing tariffs and import bans on Chinese cars and solar panels. And I haven’t seen Dems calling out the bans on lab grown meats.

They will engage in the same protectionism, because they’re paid off by the same donors.

Oh yeah, I forgot the Democrats also helped ban cancer vaccines and diabetes cures from Cuba and China. Wake the fuck up.

What is being advertised?

It’s not markets that make a country capitalist. It’s the concentration of the wealth from those markets. And China has been jailing/executing their billionaires.

How do you figure? In what way does this imply concentration of wealth?

I swear some of y’all think simply selling something is capitalist. Astounding how successful they’ve been at producing undereducated people in the west.

Agreed. They’re not even good products without the spying. Bad on top of bad.

TikTok has been faithfully pushing US propaganda for years. Mintpress News put out an article on it. Control of the US servers was handed over to Oracle, who let the State Dept have full control of what to censor.

Given how many times Samsung’s been caught spying on customer mics, and throwing ads into everything with an internet connection, I don’t understand why anyone is still putting wifi credentials into a Samsung device.

They’re competing to be the lead idiot.

It’s definitely Reddit attempting more censorship and manipulation of the front page, but I’m still happy the powermods are being fucked.

If it were reality, you’d have some recent data. Might as well make projections on computer power use by starting with the ENIAC, and then you can claim computers are consuming more than our current energy output.

LoL. Guess I can just get rid of phone’s processor then, huh?

And again, you link an image from an outdated study. Because the new data shows the use declining, so it wouldn’t help your fear mongering.

As usual, Politico’s whitewashing the significant Democrat contributions to the tech censorship regime. This isn’t something you can fix with party politics.

A lot of these studies they list are already years outdated and irrelevant. The models are much more efficient now, and it’s mainly the Musk owned AI data centers that are high pollution. Most of the pollution from the majority of data centers is not from AI, but other use.

The old room-sized ENIAC computers used 150-200 kW of power, and couldn’t do even a fraction of what your smart phone can do. The anti-AI people are taking advantage of most people’s ignorance, intentionally using outdated studies, and implying that the power usage will continue to grow- when in fact it has already shrunk dramatically.

The study they’re basing the ‘AI slows down programmers’ on forces software engineers to use AI in their workflow, without any previous experience with that workflow.

Look at this lazy fucker learning trig from someone else, instead of creating it from scratch!

It’s a clickbait title. Using AI doesn’t actually cause cognitive decline. They’re saying using AI isn’t as engaging for your brain as the manual work, and then broadly linking that to the widely understood concept that you need to engage your brain to stay sharp. Not exactly groundbreaking.
