  I agree here and this goes back before ai. Any automated thing is fine with humans in the loop but once you take them out is when the trouble starts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New tech pulls lithium from dead batteries cheaper than you can buy it⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  illini pride:

  Enter the new technique from scientists at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. There, a team led by chemical and biomolecular engineering professor Xiao Su, has been spending time disassembling batteries and then submerging them in an organic solvent. This leads to a brine that contains lithium as well as other metals present in the batteries.

  To harvest the lithium, the team developed a special electrode created from a copolymer consisting of molecules that attach to lithium and those that respond to an electrical current. When placed inside the brine and electrified, it sucked only lithium from the solution like a sponge, leaving other metals behind.

  nah. you just hold the highest non ai employee on the ladder accountable. If anything it would have real savings as the highest levels have the most expensive malfeasance.

  ah. missed that. I think my brain mixed it in as part of private use rather than a private lm instance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨One in four unconcerned by sexual deepfakes created without consent, survey finds⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah and photoshop things had the issue with passing around to. AI does have the issue of input being integrated into other output though. If someone asks for a redhead will it reference redheads various randos inputed into the system. Honestly whats scarier is if someone wants to touch up photos of their family and ai takes that as human images that make sense to use as reference for other porn material requests.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨One in four unconcerned by sexual deepfakes created without consent, survey finds⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I can see this. Someone had a comment in another thread that if its for private use its fine and I sorta get that but someone else made the point that ai should not have the info really. So people should really be concerned that ai can have image or video or audio input by users. They should have to use text or non image docs. If someone wants to deepfake and ex they will need to describe them.

  yeah I have tried a few but keep on returning to ddg. I think I will just be eternally trying alts. I still use google and chrome for maps and routes but I also have downloaded on both organic maps and osmand on a tablet especially since once I leave the house the others are to stupid to keep whats cached.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google is blocking AI searches for Trump and dementia⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  this is what I got:

  President Donald Trump has not been officially diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease or dementia by the White House Medical Unit.

  His official medical reports, including the one released after his physical exam in April 2025, have stated that he is in “excellent health” and “fully fit” to serve as President, and that he scored a perfect 30 out of 30 on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA).

  However, speculation and concern about his cognitive health and the possibility of dementia are widespread and have been raised by:

  Clinical Psychologists and Psychiatrists: Several mental health professionals have publicly stated that his public behavior, rambling speeches, difficulty completing thoughts, verbal errors (phonemic paraphasia), and observed changes in his gait suggest signs of cognitive decline or “incipient dementia.” Some have specifically suggested signs of Frontotemporal Dementia due to observed motor and speech issues. These comments are typically made without having personally examined the President, which is generally considered unethical ("armchair diagnosis") by professional organizations like the American Psychiatric Association (known as the Goldwater Rule).

  Public Opinion: Polling shows that a growing number of Americans, particularly Democrats and Independents, believe that President Trump is suffering from a modest or significant cognitive decline.

  Contrasting Information: Critics point to the non-release of detailed cognitive test results and the very simple nature of the MoCA test as reasons to doubt the official “excellent health” designation. His public appearances, especially recent controversial statements on health topics, have intensified the public debate.

  In summary, there is a significant public and professional debate about his cognitive function, with some experts citing public evidence as possible signs of dementia, but there is no official medical diagnosis of Alzheimer’s or dementia from his treating physicians.

  I get the feeling but this is basically a safety issue. I don't need it but if I went to places without cell service like hiking deep woods. I would get it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are AAA Games too bloated?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I love long games as long as its easy to pick up and put down. Like with elden ring it took a bit for me to realize I can exit almost at any point outside of a boss fight and anything defeated would stay defeated and such. Only real downside is if you have injured something then it will be full health when you come back. So it was very easy to play for 15 mins and stop and an hour later play for 15 and such. cyberpunk and harry potter did that well enough for me as well.

  this is what I was looking to say. I sorta am hoping for a resurgence of ai assitance in linux that is like the audio gui and completely local with even ai assist installation the way gui installation became the norm. I would love to talk to my laptop the way folks in star trek talked to the computer but not if it relies on internet services.
