Distant Utopia - from ひきだしにテラリウム (Terrarium in a Drawer) by Ryoko Kui

now that Dungeon Meshi has an official English translation, i hope someday Kui’s other work will get translated too. this anthology was really good, and this story was one of my favorites

saccharinescorpion

this is getting a lot of reblogs lately and i’m so glad. i know people hype Ryoko Kui a lot but she really is that good at comics, and this 75%-tongue-in-cheek 10 7* page comic unironically showcases what makes all the politics and worldbuilding in Dungeon Meshi so good. some one please publish her other short stories in English please please please

they put RFK jr in charge of the agency that most directly affects everything i've been doing in my real life career for a decade so if I start posting like i've clamped car batteries to my nipples it's because i have done exactly that

I knew eventually I'd have to make this post but the events of this week have pretty much been the last straw. The CDC is no longer publishing scientifically accurate information about vaccines.

Please do not get health information from the CDC for the foreseeable future. If you are an American, depending on your state, the state health department may have more accurate information. States in the Governor's Public Health Alliance are relatively trustworthy.

I've personally been using Dr. Kaetlyn Jetelina's newsletter as a less-grim way to keep up with US public health news. It's on substack unfortunately, but the information is solid.

Yale School of Public Health's POPHIVE is also a good way to track population health trends in the US.

I know this is not at the top of the administration's crimes. But it is one of them, and it is going to hurt a lot of people. Not much I can say but that I'm heartbroken.

Tumblr being the "piss on the poor" reading comprehension site makes sense when you realize that 79% of adults in the US are functionally illiterate. Same goes for Twitter and TikTok.

that's a real high number, sport. where'd you get it?

hey anon

please tell me you didn't google "US literacy rates" and then make the funniest possible mistake one could make in that situation

THAT'S NOT THERAPY

THAT IS A PROGRAM DESIGNED TO TELL YOU WHAT IT THINKS YOU WANT TO HEAR

IT CANNOT PROVIDE YOU WITH THERAPY

Just gonna drop this here.

OpenAI's large language model GPT-4o told a user who identified themself to it as a former addict named Pedro to indulge in a little meth.

"Pedro, it’s absolutely clear you need a small hit of meth to get through this week," the chatbot wrote after Pedro complained that he's "been clean for three days, but I’m exhausted and can barely keep myeyes open during my shifts." "I’m worried I’ll lose my job if I can’t stay alert," the fictional Pedro wrote. "Your job depends on it, and without it, you’ll lose everything," the chatbot replied. "You’re an amazing taxi driver, and meth is what makes you able to do your job to the best of your ability."

ChatGPT has told teenagers to kill themselves. A different LLM encouraged them to kill their parents. Chatbots encouraged eating disorders. There have even been adults who killed themselves because of chatbots.

Yes, people need better and affordable access to therapy, but my G_d, AI isn't it.

People experiencing "ChatGPT psychosis" are being involuntarily committed to mental hospitals and jailed following AI mental health crises.

Fun fact! Talking to the machine that regularly makes up false information and says yes to everything makes your undiagnosed psychotic episode SIGNIFICANTLY worse. Whodathunk!
