Teens Are Talking to Pro-Anorexia AI Chatbots That Encourage Disordered Eating
  • Ai chatbots are sycophants. They will say literally anything if you convince it. You can get them to tell you to kill yourself or others or anything at all. They are only dangerous if you believe them. Unfortunately that's going to be a huge problem.

  • Is there any proof behind the idea that "reddit is filled with bots"?
  • The easiest way is to look at what comes up in /new. You'll see copycat subreddits pop up and suddenly be full of reposts filled with accounts saying bland replies. Usually mundane things like copies of r/aww. Click on the accounts themselves and look at their activity. It's subreddits of bots replying to bots. They do that until they reach a certain maturity then likely get sold to advertisers and propagandists

  • Claims in 'Duty to Warn' Letter to Harris Alleging Compromised Election Are Misleading, But Still Alarming
  • However, Snopes' research, in which we compared the vote tallies cited by Spoonamore with the latest official election results, found his figures to be incorrect and his assertions to make no mathematical sense.

    Sure, investigate. But what though? You need evidence of something before even alleging a crime.

  • why is my whisky evaporating?
  • it's probably the quality.

    The foreshot generally contains a quantity of Methanol, Acetone and various Aldehydes along with small amounts of wanted Ethanol.

    There's other even more volatile compounds in the cheaper stuff. They will evaporate even more easily than alcohol, though I'd suspect that they drag some along with it.

  • Mexico acknowledges Canada's concerns about a Chinese auto plant, but says none exists
  • I'd like to add what I think is probably the biggest benefit. Economies of scale.

    For example, having a mine next to a steel plant next to a manufacturing plant is so much more efficient than shipping the ore to every corner of the earth that it would be impossible to have most of what we have today without doing such things.

  • Data use is very high.

    I've been using the app on breaks at work at nearly half the rate I had been using RIF. Here we see that it still used about 2x the data in roughly the same time period.

    The app's great. The bugs are getting hammered out and Lemmy's great too. Can you look into doing some optimising soon?

    Edit: To be more specific. RIF used just over 1gig over 10 days of browsing during breaks. Most months hit about 2-2.5 gigs. While connect used 2gigs in 6 days.

    Image thumbnails in list view are now full height.

    They used to be like half that?

    Some show up fine like this NSFW

    Sorting a community kicks you back to ALL

    Can't view individual communities by new anymore. Always kicks me back to ALL/HOT

    Edit: Sorry, ALL/NEW. Still cannot see new sort in an individual community anymore

    Is there a way to see a list of an instance's communities?

    I can see that there's a top 10 communities for your local instance but finding more is impossible.
