  • However, the study stops short of proving cause and effect. The participants were only asked about their coffee drinking habits once, at the start of the study period, and this wasn’t monitored over time.

    And they were followed for a median of 13 years.

    This is a terrible fucking study. 13 years is a huge amount of time and people’s habits change constantly.

    Someone could have easily started out drinking 5 cups a day and in 13 years be drinking no coffee at all.

    Makes all their data invalid as far as I’m concerned. They could have at least made 1 single follow-up survey at the end to check if their drinking habits had changed. Jeez…





  • This feels like PR bullshit to make people feel like AI isn’t all that bad. Assuming what they’re releasing is even true. Not like cigarette, oil, or sugar companies ever lied or anything and put out false studies and misleading data.

    However, there are still details that the company isn’t sharing in this report. One major question mark is the total number of queries that Gemini gets each day, which would allow estimates of the AI tool’s total energy demand.

    Why wouldn’t they release this. Even if each query uses minimal energy, but there are countless of them a day, it would mean a huge use of energy.

    Which is probably what’s happening and why they’re not releasing that number.


  • No, it’s not at all. This is total nonsense. If anything, superheroes are usually persecuted by the government.

    Spider-Man specifically is literally an outlaw.

    And look at the X-Men. Half the time the gov wants to wipe mutants out.

    Maybe you can say that about Captain America, but he was created to defeat the Nazis. So yeah, who the fuck is not on the government side in this situation?

    And when the gov became corrupt, Captain America became an outlaw.

    So whoever is upvoting this and whoever created this doesn’t know much about Marvel or comics.

    I mean I don’t know that much, but I know the bare minimum to know this is nonsense.
