  • Was AI actually being used in any mental health services? I know there've been a lot of articles lately about AI fucking people up when acting as their therapist but I've always assumed that was in the context of "person doesn't have a real therapist, goes to chatgpt.com and vents to it on their own time", not "person is receiving professional help, which then has them talk to ChatGPT".

    So in other words: Is this law actually doing anything? Or is it a pointless law targeting something that doesn't happen, so politicians can say they've done something without actually having done so?

  • The thing a lot of people don't get about Lovecraft's cosmic horror...

    Jump

  • That got kind of increasingly oddly specific the longer it went on.

    This is probably less accurate to Lovecraft's intent, but I like to think of "cosmic horrors" as being more literal. The universe, by and large, does not care about life - and the fact that it continues to exist at all, let alone so peacefully, is largely just chance or luck. It's almost absurd that we go about our lives so mundanely, given how chaotic and inhospitable the universe at large largely is.

    Events at scales large enough to completely destroy Earth's biosphere happen on the regular and without reason in the universe. The Earth doesn't "owe" us a stable and habitable environment, it just happens to have one largely by chance - one cosmic catastrophe and we're out. One collision of sufficient size, or nearby supernova, or gamma ray burst aimed right at us, or front of vacuum decay, or solar superflare. A rogue planet could pass near our solar system at an odd angle and destabilize our orbit (or those of millions of asteroids).

    Even our own actions - man-made climate change and ocean acidification could trigger a phytoplankton die-off, disrupting the global oxygen cycle, slowly suffocating most life over a span of decades. Or we could pass a tipping point and actually have Earth's biosphere run away into a Venus-like state, no longer habitable at all (there's on the order of 10x-50x more methane trapped in polar ice, than is in the entire atmosphere). A supervolcano could erupt today and send us into a decade-plus of freezing temperatures, famine, and overall civilization-collapsing conditions.

    And in the very long term, an end of this nature is completely guaranteed. Life on Earth will one day end, because we're entirely dependent on the sun - one of those unfathomably large and powerful cosmic entities that could, at any point, destroy us or our civilization with a single random event. We're just a lucky ant on the cosmic dance floor that hasn't been stepped on. Yet.

  • How do you reconcile staying sane while keeping yourself up-to-date with the news?

    Jump

  • I made filters with uBlock Origin that block out from Lemmy (and some other sites) any post containing one of the words "Trump", "Elon", "Musk", "RFK Jr", "maga", or "nazi".

    You still stay mostly up-to-date because that shit has a way of filtering through anyways, but you cut out 90% of the redundant fluff. I originally set the filters up in November when I was feeling very similar to how I imagine you felt when you made this post.

  • “On Tuesday afternoon, ChatGPT encouraged me to cut my wrists.”

    Jump

  • I can't read the whole article because it's paywalled, but the first two paragraphs confirm what everyone already knew: The author purposely led ChatGPT into weird occult topics, then acted scandalized when ChatGPT got weird and occult.

  • I dont want to enter a contract when consuming your product..

    Jump

  • It says you're bound by "opening and using" the product, rather than "opening or using". Have someone else open it for you. Then neither of you have done both.

  • What's the story with the wiggly green line? Are those the 6 green pixels on the large German flag?

    Jump

  • I managed to overwrite half of the long German flag near the bottom, plus the original/lower South African flag, the Czech flag, and the Polish flag. I also did like a third of the background to your message and changed the "in" to "on". I didn't join the Matrix/Discord but your message is what motivated me to do all that, so maybe you're better at recruiting than you think 😉

  • While there were flags everywhere, I felt like there were a lot fewer than these things usually have, at least.

  • This is one of the better ones I've seen. It looks actually pretty 3D.

    Make the image as large as you can on your screen while still having it all visible. I don't recommend a phone - try it on a monitor. Don't try to see the whole image at once - look at one small part. Play with the focus of your eyes until you start to see an edge forming - and when you do, lock onto the edge until you can see it without struggling. Just try to make the edge clearer without bothering with the larger shape yet. Once you do, it should be easier to hold the focus as you look around the image and actually pick out what shapes everything is making.

    I recommend focusing on this part of the image as you start - there's a pretty cool sea turtle there. Don't use this version with the red scribble, the red scribble makes it noticeably more difficult.

  • Nintendo faces legal action over ability to brick Switch 2s whenever they want

    Jump

  • Do people really use the term "brick" to refer to consoles with permanent online bans? To me they're very different and a brick is much worse.

  • Can someone explain to my dense self how this ability is not just... How evolving cards typically work?

    Jump

  • I'm pretty sure it is just how evolving cards typically works, except that you can't usually evolve ex cards. So it's an ex card that you can specifically evolve.

    The only other ex we have that isn't fully evolved is Pikachu ex - and you cannot evolve it into a Raichu during battles.

  • Can you please help me clear some doubts regarding LGBTQIA stuff?

    Jump

  • Using they/them by default is already a good start - I would be surprised to learn if neopronouns are a thing at all in languages that don't have gendered pronouns to begin with. they/them is perfectly acceptable to 99+% of people - both cis and LGBT+.

    You can just say LGBT or LGBT+. Lots of others are in use but very, very few people will legitimately get mad at you for picking one over any other.

    If someone specifically tells you to call them a certain thing, you should call them that thing. Otherwise just stick to they/them.

    If someone tells you their sexuality and it is not relevant to you, you have no obligation to ever bring it up again, just as with any form of oversharing.

    And as for why some people share these things even though you may personally find it too revealing - that's just down to personal preference. Different things are important to different people in different ways. Some people might go through their life never giving their gender a single thought. Others might base their life around affirming and fighting for it in various ways. Most people are somewhere in the middle. Everyone has a cause they believe in a lot - for some people, this is that cause. As an "Aero Ace" (a term I had to look up - "aromantic asexual" for those who also haven't encountered it), you're probably pretty predisposed to not care about any of this stuff on any significant level.
