TIL about Roko's Basilisk, a thought experiment considered by some to be an "information hazard" - a concept or idea that can cause you harm by you simply knowing/understanding it (en.wikipedia.org)

Roko's basilisk is a thought experiment which states that an otherwise benevolent artificial superintelligence (AI) in the future would be incentivized to create a virtual reality simulation to torture anyone who knew of its potential existence but did not directly contribute to its advancement or development, in order to...

I like the SCP term, Cognitohazard for these

There’s a great episode of Hello Internet where they talk about this.

Finally patched up the old pc port GTA: SA (cause rockstar can’t be arsed) and am playing through that again for the first time since the ps2

Would not be surprised if a handful of mobile games make more than the entire rest of the sector.

Revealed: how a US far-right group is influencing anti-gay policies in Africa (www.theguardian.com)

A long-standing US anti-pornography campaigning group has advised, promoted and endorsed anti-LGBTQ+ activists and politicians in Uganda, including a governing party member who endorsed anti-LGBTQ+ laws by saying gays “should be castrated”, and a virulently homophobic founder of a “militaristic” Christian boys camp....

Lemjukes ,

Nope, still Uganda. And the person asked is Pepe Julian Onziema, an Ugandan LGBT+ rights activist.

Different article on the same subject on a less garbage website

Lemjukes ,

The purpose is to prosecute him for the crime he has been charged with. That charge is Involuntary manslaughter, which explicitly means he was negligent in a way that lead to the death of another person. The purpose of having him(or literally anyone) stand trial in the American justice system is (supposed) to examine the evidence and determine if it supports the charges against the (presumed innocent) defendant. You don’t get let off the hook for your mistakes just because you ‘feel absolutely terrible’ about it. Your understanding of fault in this situation is incorrect.

THOUGHT CRIME DETECTED STAY WHERE YOU ARE CITIZEN FOR MANDATORY CORPORATE THOUGHT RETRAINING

What happens to those who are severely disabled while in prison?

For some reason began going down a rabbit hole thinking about this. Let’s say you are blind, and reliant on a guide dog, but end up in prison for a non-violent crime like possession of illegal drugs. Are you allowed to keep the dog? No, right? But if you are entirely reliant on the guide dog to perform daily tasks, how do you...

Lemjukes ,

A jail is where you are held before and during your trial, prison is where you are sentenced to serve out longer terms.

Lemjukes ,

Also I would argue sending the actual video of what is happening in front of the camera is kind of the entire point of having a video call. I don’t see any utility in having a simulated face to face interaction where neither of you is even looking at an actual image of the other person.

Not Harris’ stuff, he just waaaaay deep in the weeds about everything.

The newest one, YCT-529, is still in clinical trials until June so we ont hear anything till closer to the fall if not the end of the year. Shit a market value estimate of $200b+ means they are absolutely still trying.

On the one hand, sure, on the other hand, female contraceptives are not only useful for stopping pregnancy and are much more valuable and varied in their applications as a medicine than a pill that makes your swimmers drown.

Except if you’re carrying HAZMATS it’s even worse, they’re not allowed in either of the tunnel crossings, so all that traffic has to reroute aaaaaaall the way off your map via the western half of 695.

Pulled a ~ 600 € DeLonghi coffee maker out of the dumpster and invested about 50 € in spare parts (water tank, grounds container, and a new magnet valve). Seems like I have a new coffee machine now 😁☕

(It would have gone even faster and without a puddle on the kitchen counter if I had put in the gaskets from the start. 🤦 Ah well.)

Hot damn, nice one

Tbf this is a relatively fancy espresso maker.

Supreme Court unanimously rules against government in No Fly List case (thehill.com)

DNA Tests Are Uncovering the True Prevalence of Incest (www.theatlantic.com)

The geneticist Jim Wilson, at the University of Edinburgh, was shocked by the frequency he found in the U.K. Biobank, an anonymized research database: One in 7,000 people, according to his unpublished analysis, was born to parents who were first-degree relatives—a brother and a sister or a parent and a child. “That’s way,...

Pretty much half the VO cast for New Vegas are or were big names in TV and film.

If you watch the BTS stuff you’ll hear Zachary Levi talk about making it abundantly clear he made it to ‘the powers that be’ that he loved games and the fallout series in particular.

Lemjukes ,

But why are two physicists holding him back?

Lemjukes ,

The infuriating thing are the ‘do you want to switch back to old terms?’ messages. Like are you fucking serious what the fuck even is the point of that what the fuck are you even doing with these ‘new’ apps if you’re going to use the same pop ups in both directions basically.

Lemjukes ,

Do you haven any examples? Everyone I’m thinking of is still going relatively strong in one way or another. I also may not watch enough of the type of YouTube you’re talking about.

Lemjukes ,

Holy crap! Another black cat named Bean!

Lemjukes ,

My first kitty was named ‘Bean’ very sadly only had him for a few months before he got sick and passed away. I have decided to honor him by making his name ‘Bean’ the official title for all my future cats.

Performance reviews are just employers controlling the narrative when employees are underpaid

Right?
If you underperform, brutal negotiations ensue … prove your value or the deal is off.

Buuut, if you’re overperforming, you get gold stickers and praise, and the possibility of a pay bump through a process controlled by the employer …

instead of you telling the employer that they have to prove their value or the deal is off.

Instead over performing then becomes the expectation.

I’m sorry but this reads like it’s from someone who just got reprimanded for legit reasons but is salty about it.

Yeah, try almost a quarter of the population.

Those are two of the biggest kitty eye boogies I’ve ever seen.

What kind of a gift can you give your teacher out of respect, but that doesn’t get mistaken for romance?

A follow up from my older asklemmy post, saying goodbye to a teacher who helped me a lot through my stuff, was thinking maybe chocolate, but one of the dudes said that it’s not a very good idea, I was thinking maybe a perfume/cologne? What do you guys suggest? She is in probably in her early 20s if it helps, and I am in senior...

Lemjukes ,

This, and if you really really wanna put a monetary gift in there, get them a gift card for coffee(go local fuck Starbucks) or honestly somewhere like target that sells school supplies. It’s a bit orphan crushing machine but they may really appreciate the extra cash for supplies.

Lemjukes ,

Yeah this article is a nothing burger
