A reminder that running the casualty count in the headlines inspires further mass shootings, like a high score:

This wouldn’t be nearly as big of a problem if mental healthcare was more accessible.

How many of these kids know their family or school can’t afford a therapist, so they go to free LLMs?

Fair enough; at least we’re on the same page as far as what we disagree about.

Your metaphor strays too far from the topic to be relevant. Here’s one that I believe is closer and makes your position look as silly as you made mine look:

“AI makes hacking easy” is like saying “ovens make cooking easy” when fires exist.

Many more people who couldn’t or wouldn’t cook before don’t have to worry about measuring or guessing temperature, manual cook times, setting up a cooking surface, etc. Does the meal cook itself? Obviously not - you still need a recipe and plenty of manual effort.

anyone who formerly had no chance due to being a “script kiddie” can now just prompt an AI* to eventually find a vulnerability

You’re doing mental gymnastics to argue with me. Let’s try what I said worded differently in a way that hopefully helps you realize we agree:

It is now easier to hack.

Fair enough, but the overall idea stands:

The bar has been significantly lowered for what it takes to hack.

The irony - of course - is that their 401k money goes right into hacking those same people’s 401ks.

… but at least we can brainrot an entire generation with glass fruit slices and put artists out of work?

Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go convince someone that the TikTok deepfakes they’re watching aren’t real and that cops don’t really employ nanny-boo-boos to unsettle criminals during interrogations. No, I’m not joking.

I’m no cybersecurity expert, but from what I’ve heard from those who are, this is the new normal as anyone who formerly had no chance due to being a “script kiddie” can now just prompt an AI* to eventually find a vulnerability.

* oversimplification redacted

I was once “randomly selected” to do such an “anonymous” survey in the final months I was a cop before they fired me.

On the first page, at the top, there was a field for Name. I obviously skipped that bit because it was anonymous.

Then we went around the table and discussed our answers, with our name tags fully in view.

At the end, the consultants reminded me to fill out my name at the top. I said I didn’t because it was anonymous. They gave me a blank stare during the awkward silence.

A couple of my peers remarked as they filed out of the room that I may as well fill it in because nobody else left it blank and they’d just find out who I was by process of elimination anyway.

As we learn from history time and time again, the lie doesn’t need to be bulletproof - it just needs to go over the heads of the stupid.

“Young people increasingly don’t appear to be incredibly dumb, survey finds.”

No real attempt to answer your question yet, so I’ll do my best:

An unknowable percentage of these people believe that people using the wrong restroom is a gateway to sexual assault.

An unknowable percentage of these people don’t believe that, but believe that it’s effective propaganda to assert it.

Combined, you more or less get MAGA.

-furiously scribbles notes-

See, this is why protest signs need to be crowd-sourced.

How about

“Respect trans people or you’ll identify as was/were.”

I’ve often seen it adjusted for things like Reddit as such:

90% of users only view

9% of users vote

1% of users comment

Interestingly enough, old.reddit users are in the single digit percentages:

Even if they weren’t hostile towards old.reddit (the ads are far less invasive and effective), they could make a strong argument for not wanting to support a dwindling, tiny userbase.

Depends on your exit node.

Also if you change the front page to be US-specific it’ll force a login.

As usual, people in the US get the shaft when it comes to privacy things.

Oh no! The police aren’t busy with more serious laws so they focus on the only laws people are breaking at the moment!

Why does this mean they suck, exactly? If you want to drive fast, drive on roads designed for fast driving.

There is no shortage of people on the internet urging each other to go out into meat-space and do the thing they would not do themselves.

Looks like everyone misread my comment. I guess I’ll delete it before the algorithm punishes me further.
