revolutionized the study of human origins in the last ten to fifteen years scientists found that for most of homo sapiens existence we ve shared the planet with at least 9 other human species except we can t exactly call them species since we interbred with some of them no not just neanderthal there s at least two more in modern human dna for a more science y academic lecture on the research leading to these discoveries plus an early plague pandemic caused a 90 replacement of europe s population at the end of the neolithic stone age this one is a little older but stefan milo is such a good science communicator for the general public i didn t want to omit him at the opposite end this lecture is so information dense it will make your head explode but goes into fascinating detail on the scientific work as well as the important discoveries like migration surprises so uh i guess that brings us up to speed for about five seconds at least paleontology paleoblr human origins science

movie 12 angry men last night and there was so much smoking indoors sepdet 1h and yet those of us who got migraines and or became queasy from cigarette smoke were the ones causing trouble if we rolled down a car window or if we asked a server to switch tables after people lit up next to us ️ i ll never forget getting stuck in the back row of the so called nonsmoking section for a 9 hour flight to australia mom and i angled the air nozzles backwards trying to make an air curtain since there was no other barrier every time a plane hit turbulence smokers used to light up because they were stressed the smoke made other passengers nauseous the airlines have probably saved millions on air sickness bags since smoking was banned on most flights i have sympathy for smokers i really do

gambling or shopping we ve literally seen in real time how chatgpt has caused psychosis and delusions in people it can have a huge affect on someones s mental stability just because it isn t substance based doesn t mean that doesn t count as an addiction and shaming people who are trying to move on and improve themselves is counterproductive im proud of that dude and his 4 month mark astronomical bagel mar 5 hidden mental health dangers of artificial intelligence chatbots ai chatbots can fuel emotional dependence and blur boundaries emerging research highlights significant mental health risks here are import psychology today the reality of chatbot induced delusions large language models often prioritise agreeability over truthfulness to the detriment of users ft com ai addiction ai addiction includes the overuse of ai chatbots and companions often leading to adverse psychological effects addiction center some articles to back my statements and this isn t even mentioning about the predatory chatbots who do this on purpose oh morrow apr 15 then i ll mention the predatory chatbots who do it on purpose character ai is one of many ai chatbot websites that re designed to be addictive none of the signup methods require a password it only takes email and birthday minimizing time on the signin or signup screen makes it harder for people quitting to avoid relapse characters on the website will send messages on their own prompted by the site to try to invite inactive users back after as soon as 1 day of inactivity this is likely to force fomo or make users feel more like they owe the bots a response unhealthy attachment stuff account deletion is an essential part of every service that should go smoothly right right wrong it takes 1 2 weeks for a character ai account deletion to be finalized and account deletion requests have a high chance to not go through if you re not using the app rephrasing people leaving character ai are pushed to download the app in order to delete their accounts if they haven t already this makes it harder for people to quit and stay gone failing to quit an addiction makes it harder to quit successfully in the future so this feels like a feature not a bug on top of that the delete account menu reads like this tell me that doesn t sound like a bad ex it s a carefully crafted yet hostile environment to those who are already addicted to the technology i am so so so happy downright delighted that they ve managed to quit and i wish the best for others in recovery spaces or considering quitting as well while ai addiction is an emerging condition there are already therapists and other mental health professionals trained to help people plan to quit and do so a bit easier if anyone seeing this is in need of them there are several tumblr communities here devoted to quitting too they provide a mix of advice venting spaces and proof that you aren t alone ai addiction 344 26 509 31 119 sepdet 9h chronic illness consists of pain loss of autonomy exhaustion and making phone calls asking medical professionals whose job it is to do things on your to do list to do them for money then calling back again and again to find out why the things they assured you were done are not actually done or which party has denied permission to do the things your doctor said need to be done your body is in charge of you and determines how much energy ability you have to do things other people are in charge of doing things to make your body slightly more functional every day is a fight for marginal autonomy continue playing phone tag and attempting to convince the various parties who actually know the procedures and medical passwords to talk to each other instead of relaying messages through you until you succeed in acquiring the prescription test or other order by which time your doctor has forgotten your situation and why they ordered it or if miracle of miracles they remember they ask why you started it so late or why you haven t done the five other things they assigned during your last appointment pretty much all of this applies to regular adulting now imagine doing it with a permanent hangover and or flu thank you
