It's valid critique, but I don't like the precedence of being stupid also taking away your humanity. Education can fail us in deliberate ways from the top sometimes, I wouldn't say folks with a bad education aren't human. Even for folks who lean out of otherwise good education, or who don't hone their critical thinking skills, I judge them as humans who suck. Being in the middle of a fascist regime and with mainstream news dehumanizing minorities, I think language around humanity is important.
Idk about that, but certainly there is a very strong correlation between people like this and those who feel like they need to consult chatgpt or grok to filter out basic facts. Their willingness to give up their own thoughts and opinions bodes poorly for the future, especially of democracy.
Sorta depends for me. If I can connect the YouTuber back to something valid like an event where science is held in high esteem or collabs with people I do trust I'll give it a shot. Basically every single time this is not the case, and in his case it's literally never the case. Dude searches for his batshit view, clicks the first video without watching it, then sends it like I'm supposed to filter it for him. He'd believe in aliens if the video had 1 million views. He kinda does anyways since the why files is his favorite channel and it's barely researched (by AI) slop, where whatever his agent can't disprove becomes a "mystery"
One of the examples that comes to mind is the Navy UAP videos, where he looked at what was clearly a bird, wing flaps and all, locked on to by a fighter jet and said "that's a craft and WOAH it disappeared (when the pilot lost autotarget)" as well as, "a fighter pilot on Fox said it's a vehicle of some sort and he's a lot smarter than you." And got indignant and walked off when I said, "smarter and paid or a lot dumber than me, either way he's wrong."
I brought up the dumbass sheriff chasing Jupiter on a winding road too and he felt it wasn't Jupiter because the sheriff was an expert witness for some reason. Dude's cooked
Dude my coworker keeps sending me AI astrophysics videos because we have arguments about "new discoveries" not being real. It's going to make people dumb as hell. Tbf he already is
So that's where all the dinosaurs went
It was pretty annoying seeing posts with very little actual activity pushed to the top. I had an app that ignored the reward prioritization though.
"Thanks for the reward kind stranger!"
I believe this is referred to as ghost cheeks.
Not really something smart so much as something consistent. I think there are far too many people with no introspection on their harmful views as it is, and AI confirming their biases is inherently dangerous. Especially because the default tone they chose for every model appears to be picked to speak directly to this specific type of person in the exact way it shouldn't.

Maybe a hot take, but if you visit the hospital/er 5+ times after giving birth, have a history of postpartum depression and probable postpartum psychosis, your husband is arguing with the doctors on your behalf, they keep giving you SSRIs when she's had bad reactions in the past to them, she's talked about hearing voices to her doctor. She's called the suicide hotline and gone to the ER for suicidal ideation, and hinted that the voice wants her to kill her kids then...
It's pretty fucked how many people failed her in a traumatic way, and ultimately failed those kids too.
I think even in this thread there's some misunderanding about how serious of an ailment postpartum psychosis can be. I've seen someone else with it and thankfully she went to the psych ward immediately and was helped find the right med and feels better now. She said similar things about wanting to hurt her child and felt like she was becoming a sociopath. It's not common, and most people stigmatized mental health conditions and probably 10x for psychosis. I think that's the bare minimum of understanding needed before you should even have kids just in case, because doctors can miss it, like in her case.
