  • Cancer survivor here. Nothing would make me more happy to see a simple cure for what almost killed me, the sooner the better. Even if it was just after I finished chemo; perhaps even especially right after it to be honest. Remember that there’s always the 5-year time where the danger of the cancer coming back is constantly lingering (especially during the first 12 months). Even if you just finished chemo, that new drug means you won’t have to go through chemo again for that cancer no matter what happens from now on. Nothing, and I mean abso-fucking-lutely nothing, would’ve given me more peace of mind at that time.


  • My guy, dude, bro, take your smartphone and put it far away from yourself if you don’t use it to look up anything before posting the wildest nonsense and whataboutisms. The demonstrations were huge back then, and even if they weren’t it would be utterly irrelevant to what happens now. The only thing you create with this kind of comment is even more division and hate and even question the legitimate outcry right now, even helping those who want to suppress it. Do better.

    Lol, as if Telegram was even remotely better or would not bow to the EU.

    I think the only safe bets would either be software that’s rather safe due to it’s FOSS nature (with servers outside of the EU), or those who simply do not give a shit. There’s als Signal clearly stating that if the EU does this their app will become unavailable, as they’d rather stop releasing their software to people than collaborating in surveillance and breaking their own secure protocol in some way.

    Not to mention chatcontrol literally breaks both basic EU law, human rights as well as most national constitutions. They’d still try though, obviously. It would indeed shatter the current high trust in EU software.

    Unfortunately it is only barely better in the EU, and not just because we use the same trashy US services. On the 14th of October the EU parliament decides about chatcontrol, and it doesn’t look too good right now. They’re close to completely eradicating trust of communication.







  • That’s way too generalized of a statement, even though I get what you mean. Things like infrastructure and mobility for example play a major part in how a city feels and develops. Tokyo, Amsterdam and Detroit are all cities but couldn’t be more different in nature, which in turn also shapes society and economy.

    To think cities cause humans to just be themselves is as foolish as the foolishness your post was an answer to.



  • You don’t bet in achieving a pipe dream in the near future when developing something (at least I hope you don’t). The actual AI devs are also rather humble about what can be realistically achieved in the near future if they’re allowed to speak openly, it’s the techbros and investors who’re blowing everything up so phenomenally that the only way for this bubble - which by now is big enough to crash the US economy on its own - to proceed is to achieve the literally impossible, which is General Artificial Intelligence within at least the next 2 to 3 years (they can only pump so much money into it). I haven’t heard a single developer or scientist saying this to even be remotely realistic.

    This is more about economics than programming, AI experts and grifters just collect the money as long as the bubble persist. Also has to do with tech-solutionism and latestage capitalism. In the end the science of Machine Learning will prevail (although a lot of devs might need to find other specialisations; perhaps COBOL?), but this economical house of cards will fall apart. Let’s hope it will burry US-neolibertarianism and -fascism under it this time.
