"end to end" I see what you did there.


Our government up here in Canada collects a carbon tax, in exchange for which it promises to change the weather. So it's crystal clear what Icelanders must do : set up an ocean tax and the govt. will take care of everything.


can you a) define "ultra-right" viewpoints and b) give some references for these views on Grokipedia ?


I cited an article in my comment to back up my claims. The paper it references is publicly available and goes into more detail. Is that not enough?


this laughable article cites luminaries such as unnamed "experts" and a computer science grad student. So, no, this is not enough - can you yourself define what you mean by "ultra-right" viewpoints ?


Nazism and white nationalism, for starters. This is all gone over in that laughable article. To help, here's the study referenced, which has two, not one, researchers cited: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2511.09685. They also published their data on GitHub: https://github.com/htried/wiki-grok-comparison/tree/main.

I suspect that you might've tried to use an LLM to summarize the article, which is why you missed critical data and got some of the basic facts about its sourcing incorrect. I'm a fan of using LLM's to speed up research, but you should probably pick a different model next time.


the article remains laughable because it is biased agitprop quoting a single unpublished pre-print paper with no attempt to provide any counter arguments in favour of the site. Have you actually visited ? I took a look at the articles on white nationalism and National Socialism and found them quite informative. Nothing "hateful" that I could see.

Now visit the Wikipedia articles on "Drug Liberalization", Communism, Roe v Wade, abortion to see the left wing bias in favour of drug legalization, white-washing Stalin's crimes, against reversal of Roe v Wade, and in favour of abortion.


This. Linkedin is garbage, yet I still use it because there are no competitors. This is what happens in a monoculture.


Do you really want a “competitor” to linkedin? Do you really want to have to make and manage accounts on multiple sites because you need a job and you don’t know which a company uses?

Isn’t it better to have a single place you check when you need a job because everyone else is also there?


Do you really want a “competitor” to Facebook? Do you really want to have to make and manage accounts on multiple sites because you want to chat with someone and you don’t know which social media that person uses? Isn’t it better to have a single place you check when you need to chat with someone because everyone else is also there?


Yes, it is better, which is why facebook is the only old school social network left. Do you really think we would be using myspace if it still existed?


As someone who doesn't, and never has, had a linkedin. What would a "competitor" look like? There's plenty of job boards. What are you using linkedin for?


the main problem with UBI is it makes people even more dependent on the state, and therefore more easy to control by said state.


Well, that and the utterly insane cost (and therefore inflation).


Or the fact that everyone is now on welfare? And poorer?


Pascal's Wager for tech.


More like it's edgy cousin, the basilisk.


This is a great project, but the bigger question is: why isn't AMD doing this themselves? It continues to boggle my mind how much they don't seem to get the importance of a mature software stack when it is so obviously the key to the success of team red. A stack that can be used for EVERY card they produce, like CUDA, not just a select few. I used to believe that AMD the underdog would catch up some day, but I've more or less given up on them.


spike protein is known to travel across the blood brain barrier

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35052867/

But of course something introduced between 2013 and 2023 that gets your cells to manufacture spike protein, with no way of regulating the spike dose, couldn't possibly be connected with memory decline.


If you approximate the youngest age group's data points as a linear trend, it starts well before 2019. After all, they originally were at the same level as the next two higher age groups. So even if you assume that the entire rise after 2020 was due to this cause, it would only explain ~50% of the total effect. And it would not explain at all how older people who were most likely to experience a severe disease (particularly before vaccines) actually show a slight inverse trend, while the age groups in between show barely any statistically significant effect. If you really want to blame covid, I would assume closing schools and mass remote-schooling to protect old people is a much more likely explanation for the trend among the youngest people post 2020. This is the one thing that truly sets them apart from all the other age groups.


Why would that differentially affect young people?


That is a good point. Injection rates were higher with older population. I would say that younger immune systems are more robust, potentially leading to exaggerated inflammatory responses to spike protein, which could heighten neuro-inflammation and cognitive impacts.


Possibly same reason why youngest people had highest rates of myocarditis


You people are suffering from something worse than long covid.


Yes, how she was treated by Crick and Watson was scandalous.


That's what I read on the surface. Any useful links for the context?


The best I've read is "The Eighth Day Of Creation" (which is amazing book beyond the part that covers the elucidation of the structure of DNA). He references multiple internal data sources that establish the process by which Gosling's photo made it to Watson and Crick. Of all the accounts I've read, it seems to be the most factual. I think it's also worth reading Watson's account ("The Double Helix") and the book that originally brought the most attention to the treatment of Franklin ("Rosalind Franklin: The Dark Lady of DNA")

I believe this article has some updated results: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/25/science/rosalind-franklin... and it appears there was an earlier book before Dark Lady, referenced here: https://www.nytimes.com/1975/09/21/archives/rosalind-frankli...


It certainly did not save the world. Because, as we now know, it did not prevent either infection or spread. All it did was expose people to risk such as elevated incidence of myocarditis, a fact even the manufacturer has acknowledged. For all you down-voters, can you provide an evidence-based rebuttal rather than a cowardly down vote ?


Fwiw, you didn't provide any evidence based claims anyone could make a rebuttal for.

You just stated your own view as authority.


That is an interesting point. The statement "the company that helped save the world" that I was responding to was stated without evidence. So, in the words of Christopher Hitchens, what can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

IMHO, if someone disagrees with me, they can ask for evidence, and there is plenty. Downvoting makes my post less and less visible, suppressing my opinion, rather than debating it. That's why I think it is cowardly. Of course there is a place for suppression, for example for abusive posts or inciting violence. But here, I politely state my opinion, let people debate.
