    That’s fine. I will either continue to use adblockers, pay, or stop using the internet outside of what is required to function in society. I already refuse to use anything that has decided to go ad supported without the ability to block ads and has a price I’m not willing to pay.

    If small (or large) businesses require the mass collection of personal information by malicious advertisers to exist, then they don’t derserve to exist.








  • It isn’t about people better than you. It is about idealized and generally unrealistic body standards.

    The new guidelines, now introduced in the UK and around the world, apply to content that: idealises some physical features over others, such as beauty routines to make your nose look slimmer; idealises fitness or body weights, such as exercise routines that encourage pursuing a certain look; or encourages social aggression, such as physical intimidation.

    These are not videos about getting to a healthy weight and exercise routine. “Certain look” is a crappilly phrased way of saying unrealistic body standards, but that is what it means.










  • All AI share a central design flaw of being what people think they should return based on weighted averages of ‘what people are saying’ with a little randomization to spice things up. They are not designed to return factual information because they are not actually intelligent so they don’t know fact from fiction.

    ChatGPT is designed to ‘chat’ with you like a real person, who happens to be agreeable so you will keep chatting with it. Using it for any kind of fact based searching is the opposite of what it is designed to do.
