Maybe 90% of people are antiintellectual. Maybe internet is overrun with bots. Maybe they all caught the mind virus /s.

Watch out for misuse of technical jargon. Big red flag. Remember those articles on arxiv claiming to solve reimann that no one can understand because of the disconnected writing style full of technical terms?

If it is possible to save one life, preventing RSI AGI is an existential threat.

It would make sense to find out where the illness is coming from rather than letting it spread.

A human could look at an intermediate layer, then claim its an output layer. It could look at the human readable chain of reasoning, then claim it did not exist. A human could construct a false line of reasoning to confuse us. All this while claiming the moral high ground... peppered with misuses of technical jargon.

At what point does a microphone become an intelligence device, when we have so many types of microphones. Is it an arbitrary label I can add or remove to a product? Will it apply equally to large manufacturers?

The covered materials are very broad, though often limited to equipment built "for purposes of", like in this section.

Title 22 Chapter I Subchapter M Part 121 - The United States Munitions List - Category XI Paragraph b

Electronic systems, equipment or software, not elsewhere enumerated in this subchapter, specially designed for intelligence purposes that collect, survey, monitor, or exploit, or analyze and produce information from, the electromagnetic spectrum (regardless of transmission medium), or for counteracting such activities.

Is this really the largest factor they found in all our medical data?

It's rare to see a study where "no link was found"

The author says they want freedom, but demands restrictions. They can't just make their own decision, they need to live everyone else's life too. This is part of a sustained attack on all internet users. They give multiple rationales.

Thousands of similar articles amount to brainwashing. The public is inundated with a false reality.

People like this claim to be injured by infinite scrolling, there is no way to have a consistent standard with claims that are so frivolous.

I expect a pile of down votes... my account is already tanked for similar reason. More manipulation of social media by people who claim to abhor it.

A simple solution is to use a system of linear equations. Each row of a matrix is a linear equation, Ax = b Each row contains kernel weightings A across the image X, B is the blurred pixel color. The full matrix would be a terabyte, so take advantage of the zeros and use an efficient solve for X instead of inversion.

Enhance really refers to combining multiple images. (stacking) Each pixel in a low res image was a kernel over the same high res image. So undoing a 100 pixel blur is equivalent to combining 10,000 images for 100x super resolution.

There was no suicide hotline offered either. Strange because youtube always gives me one whenever I search the band 'suicidal tendencies'.

Giving medical advice is natural and intelligent, like saying take an aspirin. I'm not sure where to draw the line.

My friends are always recommending scam natural remedies like methylene blue. There are probably discords where people tell you 'down the road, not across the street' referring to cutting.
