Straw man. Nobody claims this. The point is (a) the state of decisionmaking was misrepresented for clicks and (b) the effects of a decision one way or the other way way overblown.
Hating on Musk sells subs. That's fair and, frankly, deserved. It doesn't mean we need to get misled chasing that high.
How do you ensure that the output isn't BS if you don't know those areas? What value does it add to have a mathematical proof of questionable validity?
if you have an intuition something is true, you can verify the proof. even if you couldn't construct the proof. allowing skepticism to terminate thought is a dead end.
I hope everyone is getting their recommended screenings even if you feel okay. I learned I had a life-threatening disease because my PCP told me at an annual exam to get a routine screening.
This will go over great at weddings and birthday parties!
We need to fight for a better world, but that requires that we're not burnt out by thinking about our problems 24/7. We need some fun and joy to make the fight worthwhile.
I jumped ship, and the friends and family who are important to me are still on the ship, by and large.
Yet I've never felt as though I'm missing out. We communicate via alternative forms (texts, calls, hanging out in person) and I have never felt disconnected.
The whole trope about people being worried about missing out is misplaced - that feeling is exactly what these products are designed to imbue in their users. Ultimately, if you value others, you'll make the effort to connect somehow, and if they value you, they'll return that energy. If that two-way street doesn't exist, if they're not willing to give back a similar effort, then why do we need to know what they're doing or thinking every day?
I largely agree, but this discounts the personal value of keeping contact with weaker connections that we don't talk with often but still have some concern for.
Especially egregious when preventing pasting into a password field. Do they want me to have a weak password so that I can manually type it in instead of pasting it from a password manager?
