Is your brain still up? I don't get this voluntary reliance on so-called AI.

Amazing that even Sora2 can't make Sam Altman not look like a w@nker.

@rozab Made me laugh, though I can't quite figure out whether you're bashing AI-startups, ear-acupuncture or both ;D

Although I love IT and I've been a Java consultant for 20+ years, I'm getting out because the IT business has become absurd. I'm 51 now.

Instead I've certified as an Auriculotherapist (that's fancy speak for ear-acupuncture). I chance discovered auriculotherapy about 10 years ago by its potential to reduce stress by modulating the nervous system. And its been my passion since. The ear is way more than some funny cartilage sticking off your head. Its a complete map of the body with every part treatable via microscopic points on the ear surface. Kind of like a "keyboard" into the bodies "operating system".

So the IT business going batsh!t bonkers was my cue to jump out and start a new healthcare business. I regret nothing and feel that I'm now actually helping people. And people aren't getting less stressed these days.

Good luck to all when the genAI slop code needs fixing and there are no experienced dev's left.

This is absolutely adorable :) Well done Naya!

Switch off everything wireless in your home before bedtime. If you live in an apartment, you may be exposed to neighbors wireless through walls. EMR-shielding bed canopies exist.

Try sleeping in an off-grid, no-wireless setting (cabin, in a car* in the woods etc.) and if that gets you proper sleep, you can suspect electromagnetic fields.

Also, try magnesium supplements for muscle relaxation, sleep improvement.

*= not a Tesla, obviously, which is WiFi-on-wheels.

As usual, no mention of pulse-modulated RF as a ubiquitous and ever increasing biological stressor. Its been shown and replicated how RF can potentiate effects of chemical carcinogens (Tillmann 2010, Lerchl 2015). Just an FYI.

Worst UI experience. Prefer SQuirreL. Personal opinion.

Possibly, a human customer rep. could make a mistake, but said human could correct the mistake quickly. The only responses I've had from "A.I" upon notifying it of its own mistake, is endless apologies. No corrections.

Anyone experienced ability to self-correct from an "A.I" ?

That the models compared are so close just shows that there no real progress in "A.I.". Its just competing companies trying to squeeze performance (not intelligence) out of an algorithm.

No. No. No.

From the evidence on wireless radiation effects on humans, the same mechanism of biological damage seems to be at play: oxidative-stress. Especially human male sperm cells are affected, being more vulnerable as lacking DNA repair capabilities as other cell types (sperm is a simple transport cell, not evolved for longevity). A number of scientific review papers have identified oxidative-stress from pulse-modulated (information-carrying) radio-frequency radiation as a driver of free-radical formation (ROS), inflammation, cell stress and DNA-damage.

For example, see: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26151230/

Excerpt: "...among 100 currently available peer-reviewed studies dealing with oxidative effects of low-intensity RFR, in general, 93 confirmed that RFR induces oxidative effects in biological systems. A wide pathogenic potential of the induced ROS and their involvement in cell signaling pathways explains a range of biological/health effects of low-intensity RFR, which include both cancer and non-cancer pathologies."

and: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8562392/

Excerpt: "Thus, a complete picture is provided of how human-made EMF exposure may indeed lead to DNA damage and related pathologies, including cancer. Moreover, it is suggested that the non-thermal biological effects attributed to RF EMFs are actually due to their ELF components."

Still no mention of the scientific evidence of a ubiquitous driver of insect sterilization and decline: wireless radiation.

Its shown in robust studies that even low-level RF causes oxidative-stress and cell death in insect ovaries. For example, see: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/19336934.2016.1...

Excerpt: "Exposure of adult flies to mobile-phone radiation for 30 min has an immediate impact on ROS production in animal's ovary, which seems to cause a global, systemic and non-targeted transcriptional reprogramming of gene expression, 2 h post-exposure, being finally followed by induction of apoptosis 4 h after the end of exposure. Conclusively, this unique type of pulsed radiation, mainly being derived from daily used mobile phones, seems capable of mobilizing critical cytopathic mechanisms, and altering fundamental genetic programs and networks in D. melanogaster."

Also, this recent review paper: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S00489...

Excerpt: "Insects are especially sensitive to electromagnetic radiation. An increasing number of reports indicate that flies and spiders, among other invertebrates, disappear from areas that receive the highest levels of radiation from mobile telephone antennas, and these observations are consistent with numerous laboratory studies showing the negative effects of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) on reproductive success, development and navigation"

France has ordered Apple to stop selling the iPhone 12 for emitting too much electromagnetic radiation.

On Tuesday, the French watchdog which governs radio frequencies also told the tech giant to fix existing phones.

The ANFR has advised Apple that if it cannot resolve the issue via a software update, it must recall every iPhone 12 ever sold in the country.

I really don't want google/apple knowing anything of what I do online, hard as that is, but I'm not going to help them snoop on me.

Just a screenshot tour would be enough for me to see if I'd want to sign up.

What? Have you looked at the science on this? Those in the RF/EMF science field opining that RF is perfectly safe, are a minority fringe. Example: ICNIRP, the private club that sets the limits most countries choose to follow, is a tiny, self-selected group, many with ties to telecoms business interests [1,2].

On the other hand, there are hundreds of independent research scientists in the RF/EMF field that agree [3] that the current limits are far outdated and based on assumptions of safety, not proof.

Downvotes without counter-arguments can only be taken as uninformed opinion.

Not signing in "with google" or "with github" or any other unrelated 3rd party. If there's no "with email" then its goodbye.

Probably a fine product though...

If man-made electromagnetic radiation is counted as air-pollution, then yes, its a grave threat.

Erhm no, didn't notice. Then the AI ignored all my settings. Of course I'd select "fit Icelandic woman" !

I tried, but no edit link for me. Perhaps I need points/credentials?

Of course. I don't care about your opinion. Only those who are actually interested in looking into this.
