There has been many, many, many decades of attempts, since the 1920s, at deeply flawed studies to prove some weak link between marijuana use and some bad outcome. Of course, it’s quickly found out that it was using rats, or some other small animal using fucked-up dosage:mass ratios, or the sample size was 20, or they were using the (literally) rotted garbage that was the government-grown marijuana stash, or it was funded by some DARE group, or funded by the nicotine industry, or the alcohol industry, or they didn’t prove causation, or they forgot to factor mental health, or social class, or racial factors, or a thousand other obvious problems.

I’m not going to go around and say cannibus doesn’t have its problems. But, given the track record of obviously flawed studies that land on this forum, and even more so with cannibus research, I’ll default to a position of extreme skeptism until proven otherwise.

Classic case of using cannabis as a scapegoat in a random study to “prove” how harmful it is. Tale as old as time.

As is tradition, unfortunately.

Which company?

Huh… It’s a complete fabrication and they run with the headline of “weird”?

Yeah, this is pretty shoddy “benefit of a doubt” reporting. We all know it was an obvious data heist.

This is a rather defeatist take. It’s also wrong.

It’s post-Kojima Konami. They’ll find a way to screw any leftover IP up.

Both Zone games had awesome soundtracks.

Huh, I didn’t think we got that far into the process during the Cuba missile crisis?

Kagi works for me.

If they had an inside actor, how do they even know their systems weren’t compromised? If their org was compromised, then by extension, their systems were compromised.

That’s just security protocol 101: If the system has been hacked, burn it all down and reinstall.

Homeopathy is 100% a scam. LLMs are just overhyped. Big difference.

This is not AI anymore than chatbots from the 90’s were.

Pretending that we’ve not improved anything at all in the last 30 years and pretending that LLMs are just like old shitty tech from the 90s is the equivalent of burying your head in the sand.

It’s even wilder how much that stroke changed him.

More proof that Reagan’s era was one of the worst turning points in American history.

Everybody going to upvote this, but not comment on it?

Why are we reporting so much about a Democrat winning in the brightest bluest state in the nation? Water is wet.

Let’s talk more about elections in purple and red states.

On Mars, you have no help. Nothing for at least a year. It’s hard to even send a message. Going to the moon ain’t shit compared to Mars. If you need supplies or repairs or people or even communication, the vastness of space is far far more apparent.

On Earth within an underwater base, if you need help from the surface, they are already up there. Almost instant speeds to get a message, and a few hours to a day to get at least something down to the base. Worse-case, you can gear up and swim up to the attached platform, and strategize there.

Without the experience of building and sustaining an underwater base, we die on Mars, if we can even get there in the first place.

All the more reason why we need to conquer the oceans with underwater bases waaaaaay before we try to conquer Mars. If we can’t build an underwater base, we are completely and utterly hopeless towards the goal of living on any sort of space-bound entity.
