It's because this article does not show that radio frequency electromagnetic fields have effect on human health.

That’s because you have to read more than what you read on hacker news.

Ok, but it's not like nothing was done after Draghi report - EU formed at least 5 committees and commissioned multiple think-tanks to develop reports about possible development of the pathway to the programme that will work on bureaucracy and overregulation.

Just because things can be used for porn, it doesn't mean that it was porn that has driven their progress.

All of the things above were driven by porn, that can be proven. The AI stuff in the generic sense is not but you can bet that someone somewhere right now is working on improving photo realism of hair, eyes and skintone and they're not doing that to be able to make the next installment of little red riding hood.

Holy effing shit you are literally talking about me right now! LOL I've spent all day improving a LoRA further and further exactly because I need her skin and hair to look a lot more real than is generally available, for exactly your stated reason! :D

Edit: I've registered just for your comment! Ahaahahaha, cheers! :D


Can you actually prove it?

Yes, I was there for quite a bit of it...

You couldn't talk to commissioned smut. Of course you could request changes etc. but the feedback loop was nowhere close to what you can get with AI. Interactivity is a very big deal.

There are absolutely people getting paid to roleplay smut in chat sessions and have been doing so at least since original Second Life and likely since the dawn of chat.

There are several large platforms for interactive 1:1 or 1:few smut in various media forms. “LLM enthusiasts” have been using smutai for a couple years now. Smut generation is probably on of the top three reasons for people to build local AI rigs.

Sounds like an improvement then. If people have more freedom to enjoy what they like how they like it, I see that as entirely a good thing.

At the degree of generalization you are working at, yes. More preference matching is a good thing.

This is spherical cows territory though, so its only good for setting out Birds Eye view of principles.


It's amazing how different are the experiences different people have. To me every new version of chatgpt was an improvement and gemini is borderline unusable.

I got the same experience. Dont get how people are saying gemini is so good.

A lot of people still have a shallow understanding of how LLMs work. Each version of a model has different qualities than the last, each model is better or worse at some things than others, and each responds differently to different prompts, styles. Some smaller models perform better than larger ones. Sometimes you should use a system prompt, sometimes you shouldn't. Tuning settings for the model inference (temperature, top_p, penalties, etc) significantly influence the outcome. (https://www.promptingguide.ai/introduction/settings, https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/optimizing-llm-accur...)

Most "big name" models' interfaces don't let you change settings, or not easily. Power users learn to use different interfaces and look up guides to tweak models to get better results. You don't have to just shrug your shoulders and switch models.

Gemini has a great model, but it's a bad product. I feel much happier using ChatGPT because Gemini just seems so barebones and unpolished. It has this feeling of a tech demo.

Very curious for what use cases you're finding gemini unusable.

Scientific research and proof-reading. Gemini is the laziest LLM I've used. Frequently he will lie that he searched for something and just make stuff up, basically never happens to me when I'm using gpt5.2.

The way I summed it up to a friend recently is that Gemini 3 is smarter but Grok 4 works harder. Very loose approximation, but roughly maps to my experience. Both are extremely useful (as is GPT-5.2), but I use them on different tasks and sometimes need to manage them a bit differently.

Do you use it directly? I've only used it though Kagi Assistant but it works better than any other model for me

Yes, only directly (I mean through the default gemini interface, not API).

Maybe they messed something up in the official interface then. I've heard that the PDF processing capabilities are also significantly worse in Gemini UI compared to using it through the API or Google AI Studio.

Any coding task produces some trash, while I can prototype with ChatGPT quite a lot, sometimes delivering the entire app almost entirely vibe-coded. Gemini, it takes a few prompts for it to get me mad and just close the tab. I use only the free web versions, never agentic ‘mess with my files’ thing. Claude, is even better than that, but I keep it for serious tasks only, so good it is.

In my experience with Gemini, I find it incapable of not hallucinating.

Gemini loves to ignore Gemini.md instructions from the first minutes, to replace half of the python script with "# other code...", or to try to delete files OUTSIDE of the project directory, then apologise profusely, and try it again.

Utterly unreliable. I get better results, faster, editing parts of the code with Claude in a web ui, lol.


Are you at all aware of how scientific publishing works?

You must have no idea how scientific publishing works. Typical acceptance rate for ok/good journal is 10-20% (and it was like that even before LLMs). Also it's a great idea to make business of scientific publishing even more predatory - now sciencists writing articles for free, reviewing for free and then having to pay for publication will also have to pay to even submit something, with 90% chance of rejection. Also think what kind of incentives it will create.

Don't worry - most of the peer reviewed stuff is also bad.

Both. 1.5/3 T is standard, >3 T machines (such as 5 T from United Imaging) are becoming more popular (and affordable) and at the same time ultra low field ones keep improving and now they make some things that were impossible before now actually doable such as bed-side MRI (not in clinical practice of course, but there was nice engineering proof of concept with ultra low field MRI machine that could be powered by normal power outlet).

> This type of thinking is what is leading to the destruction of order there. Are you sure it's this kind of thinking that's at fault? I would've said that it's actually caused by giving people without training and any serious screening extreme power with absolutely zero accountability. Would love to hear your take on this though.

Yes, I am sure it plays a factor, giving people justification for their actions. The issue is that restoring order is not easy. And when the people making disorder are antagonistic to the people restoring order that clash leads to unfortunate scenarios. Lack of training (specifically direct experience of dealing with such behavior) or screening plays a role in how order is restored but these are reactive actions. In my mind everyone would be better off if we all maintained order so these clashes didn't have to happen in the first place.

> In my mind everyone would be better off if we all maintained order so these clashes didn't have to happen in the first place.

In my mind everyone would be better off if current incarnation of ICE was disbanded so these clashes didn't have to happen in the first place. You've completely switched cause and effect - ICE behavior is the CAUSE of protests, not the effect!


Nothing can justify disorderly protests. I don't care about what caused someone to break the law. I care that law is enforced.

Obviously rushing to the aid of a fellow human who was assaulted by a masked person for no reason other than to act out that person's longing for violence might be "disorderly" to you. To the rest of us it's called compassionate, human, democratic. It isn't against any written law in USA, any law passed by a democratic legislative body.

You have no care for the law nor for humanity. You're supporting summary execution by a stasi; you seriously need to step back and reconsider your belief system.


> Nothing can justify disorderly protests. I don't care about what caused someone to break the law. I care that law is enforced.

But you do care what caused someone to break the law - you just said that if breaking the law (murdering someone) was for keeping order then it's ok. It's very easy to see that you agree with enforcing "law" just because you agree with current administration (otherwise it's very hard to argue that what ICE is doing has anything to do with being lawful).


Good to hear you're onboard with prosecuting Federal agents pretending to have local traffic enforcement powers and murdering citizens during illegal traffic stops.

Currently the Federal level is blocking the State prosecuting such clear breaches of the law.


> Good to hear you're onboard with prosecuting Federal agents pretending to have local traffic enforcement powers and murdering citizens during illegal traffic stops.

Approaching a vehicle that is already stopped, perpendicular to traffic, initially to tell the driver to move and then to make an arrest for obstruction of justice, is not a "traffic stop", and the agents in question therefore did not in any way "pretend to have local traffic enforcement powers". ICE are legally entitled to require protesters to get out of their way. That's a consequence of them being federal LEO, and of federal law prohibiting everyone from obstructing LEO (which includes things like physically shielding others from arrest, impeding their movement towards whatever place they need to get to to do their job, etc.). Protesting and asserting 1A rights is not a defense to the charge of obstruction of justice.


"Disorderly" protests are protected by the first amendment. No justification is needed. That is the law. Enforce that law and stop ICE from harassing people just for exercising their fundamental rights.

The people "making disorder" are operating democratically within the former USA constitution.

Those you consider to be bringing order are arbitrarily enacting violence against citizens and other people in ways that break the law and Constitution; and which are outlawed in all moral societies. Sure, strict conformance to a dictators whims is a form of order, but if you seek that sort of order in your life you should look for a dom and not attempt to impose it on others.

The clashes do not have to happen. Trump's Regime can be removed, habeas corpus resurrected, and the Constitution re-implemented.

Your mind appears to wear jackboots.
