If you’re on android, I use TrackerControl from F-Droid. Be warned, however, that it absolutely will break most apps, because everything tries to track you through google, so blocking google with strict settings will destroy many of the apps you rely on. It is, however, the single best tracker blocking app I’ve ever seen. I feel like the fact that it breaks things, then you can check and see how everything it blocked caused the app to break, is a huge point in its favor.

SHH!! Yes you can, Elon! recursively training your model on itself definitely has NO DOWNSIDES

Yes! We should all wholeheartedly support this GREAT INNOVATION! There is NOTHING THAT COULD GO WRONG, so this will be an excellent step to PERMANENTLY PERFECT this WONDERFUL AI.

Nebula has some of the best educational content, especially ever since Tom Scott went on to other things. There are definitely some weird ones on there, as well as a couple which I’m convinced are right-wing shills, but by and large many of the best edutainment channels have collected over there, especially if you’re into writing/world building. HAI/Wendover, Minutephysics, legaleagle, extracredits, nilered, and hellofutureme are the big ones I’m aware of that are also popular on YouTube which publish their videos over on Nebula. It’s well worth it to know that you’re supporting them more directly, and no ads.

Also, dropout (nee collegehumor) is worth it.

Perhaps. The issue I perceive is that, for corporations, evil deeds are only illegal if you get caught and the government actually pursues you. Then, the most the corpos face is a fine, and remember: if the penalty for doing something illegal is a flat fine, then it isn’t a punishment, it’s a price.

Thus, this corporation has indicated its clear intent to sell me to the highest bidder. I would not give them a chance to do so. A “do not agree” button is just that: a “do not agree button”.

All good, I just couldn’t seem to get past it in my feed. I wholeheartedly support what you’re doing, I just would prefer it be clear that it’s a cross post, like the one you posted a few minutes later. I’m gonna go ahead and delete this from the other ones.

Think you’ve posted this to enough communities yet?

That’s… Not a very promising roadmap…

I can, explicitly and unequivocally, state that I derive intense joy from having the privilege of seeing this.

Too true.

This belongs in uplifting news

The fuck is this word? What does this have to do with Marked Sugar in the Blood? Typo-glyc-emia. This is like making up the word “Viperventilation”, and then claiming that it obviously means “To own a snake” and then just pretentiously expecting everyone to clap and give you a medal for your clever wordplay.

Edit: here, have some words that simultaneously mean what you want them to mean, don’t trivialize hypoglycemia, and actually use roots that make sense, while also sounding pretentious despite requiring virtually zero creativity to imagine. You can have these for free:

Solar thermal generation, 1913

Forget 1954. Try 1914. Solar steam generation which can drive a dynamo.

Also, solar thermal generation was viable a hundred years ago, but nobody invested in it.
