  • The snopes article indicates that the study cited for reporting Tesla cars to have the most fatalities per billion miles driven cannot be validated

    In sum, while the claims across social media are correct in saying a study did find Tesla to have the highest fatal accident rate of any car brand, the study itself uses data that is not available to the public. Therefore, although this does not mean the data is incorrect, it does mean that ensuring the study’s accuracy is not possible at this time.


  • Clearly I think it would be preferable if they didn’t do business with Russia, israel, or any other states actively engaging in the invasion of other people’s sovereignty, but that doesn’t have to be the only disqualifying factor. There are plenty of nations in the world that are toxic by other criteria. I highly doubt countries that murder civilians for wearing the “wrong” clothes or espousing the “wrong” opinions, for instance, would be conducive with the operation of such a credit union. Also, countries where if they find out you’re gay they execute you. That’s not very anti-censorship and tacit complicity with that fuckery would not further the mission.

    So it would definitively not be bothering with the laws of countries it will never interact with.





  • And your phone number and your address and your contact list and permission to read-write access to your files and your social security number and your blood type and your date of birth and your mother’s maiden name and the location and shape of any birthmarks or scars and your fingerprints and your genealogy and your deepest darkest secret and what you ate for breakfast last Tuesday and if you’ve made any pacts with yogsathoth and if your soul is still available for sale and your dental records and your porn preferences and your favorite color and your BMI and the name you gave to your favorite stuffed animal when you were six years old




  • My meds are actually working and it’s incredible how starting JUST HAPPENS NOW

    I’m told it doesn’t work for everyone, but my own personal biochemistry is responding beautifully to Strattera and a small dosage of Wellbutrin.

    My psychiatrist told me there’s some risk of harmful interaction so my Wellbutrin dosage had to be reduced when I started the Strattera, but it’s been amazing.

    I literally feel like I have more hours in every day because so much less time is lost struggling to get started, struggling to stay on task, struggling to STOP a repetitive habitual time wasting trap like doomscrolling or stupid short form videos.


  • Yeah, that’s where my mind is at too.

    AI in its present form does not act. It does not do things. All it does is generate text. If a human responds to this text in harmful ways, that is human action. I suppose you could make a robot whose input is somehow triggered by the text, but neither it nor the text generator know what’s happening or why.

    I’m so fucking tired of the way uninformed people keep anthropomorphizing this shit and projecting their own motives upon things that have no will or experiential qualia.
