Meh, it just says new exam was introduces and a lot of students failed. This just means the schools are not good at preparing students for this exam, not that they don’t prepare for practicing medicine. I would say it’s normal that universities will need time to adapt their courses to the requirements of the exams. Maybe students are not well prepared for the format or maybe the just need to put greater focus on different parts of the curriculum. I don’t think this means that graduates are somehow less prepared, just that the new exam is another barrier for them to begin practice which means it will slow down induction of new doctors into the workforce. Hopefully they will adapt fast and this will not have any long term repercussions.


Nobel Peace Prize is a joke. Fuck Nobel Prizes! Let’s just stop paying attention to them and focus on the Princess of Asturias Awards instead. I know it’s not perfect, among its laureates you will find Google, Woody Allen, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Marina Abramović but I think so far no war criminal got it. The Princess for sure has way more integrity than the assholes from Nobel committees.


43 is young? Thanks, I needed that.


Year old news :(


They were looking at a hair and saying that they are sure it belongs to the suspect. It was before DNA. It was later discovered that the FBI lab that did this “analysis” would simply say that “yes, it’s a match”. No science behind it. Many people ended in jail because of it, some were executed and later exonerated by DNA tests. There was a big scandal about it couple of years ago.


And hair analysis. And fibers. All popularized in US to get more convictions but rejected in Europe as junk science.


And doctor appointments, and driving them to school and from school and standing next to them watching them stand there not doing anything just in case the fall down and hit their head on the floor and cooking 3 different breakfasts for them because they changed their mind 3 times and so on and so on. Yeah, it’s very rewarding for some, not that appealing for others.


There must be a reason people don’t want children.
Yeah, kids cry and shit a lot. You don’t need a reason not to want them, you need a reason to have them.
Why would this be The Onion?


Whether or not all religions are equally useless for truth and morality is a big and absolute statement. I can’t say that I agree or disagree because I’m not familiar with every religion.
I don’t think you have to know all religions to be able to say that. You just need to know what religion is and how it works. Religion can’t be the source of truth because it’s based on faith, not truth. If you look for truth without any dogma restricting your research you’re a scientists, not a theologian. Religion can’t be the source or morality because it’s goal is to enrich and empower the people that control it, not to teach anything useful. If you teach about morality without demanding obedience and money from your followers you’re a philosopher, not a religious leader.


Exactly, genocides happen and no religion is good at preventing them. All religions are equally useless as sources of truth and morality. We should neither vilify or praise anyone for being religious or adhere to one religion of the other.


adherents aren’t acting in ways that are harmful to others


How can you be sure the person you’re asking is not a hallucination as well?


The issue we’re talking about is not getting a reply from bot in a chat or phone call. We’re talking about people with metal issues using AI in a way that exasperates their problems. Specifically we’re talking about people believing AI is their personal companion and creating personal connection with it to a point that wrong answers generated by AI affect their well being. Vast majority of people don’t use AI like that.


Definitely not everyone. We’re talking about users that have a single chat open and have endless conversations about personal topics there. I think majority of users will ask single question or have a short conversation and then create new chat. And don’t talk about personal problems. We’re also talking about people with specific metal issues. AI is a terrible for many reasons but I think “it helps people kill themselves” is exaggerated. Before AI people were getting sucked into online communities that were encouraging suicide but the media barely noticed the issue. Marijuana is very dangerous for people with predisposition to some mental issues like schizophrenia but we just agree that people should have that in mind if they are going to use it. It’s the same with AI. Some people shouldn’t be using it but it’s not a reason for a total ban. The reason for a total ban is that it’s bad for environment, jobs and education and offers little benefits.


I think with all the guardrails current models have you have to talk to it for weeks if not months before it degrades to a point that it will let you talk about anything remotely harmful. Then again, that’s exactly what a lot of people do.


Harrison Ford was like 90 when he played Indiana Jones again. They will get him a younger sidekick and that’s it.
Not enough propaganda. They should call it ‘Beautiful, Clean, Greenest of the Green, Climate Protecting, Bird Saving, Woke Antifa Tears Inducing, All-American, Beef Loving, Lungs Restoring Coal’.
