This must be the modern version of Fahrenheit 451.

Books are bad because „list of bad things“, let’s not weigh in if people like it or not… just burn the books.

I truly don't understand how people can make such comparisons, and in general defend social media. Is this some sort of Stockholm syndrome?

Social media has ruined my mental health, when I fell into a deep hole of propaganda. It took me a year to recover, and I'm still not fully recovered, and I'm still trying to separate between what I truly think, and what social media "made" me think. People underestimate the power of echo chambers created by the algorithm.

I saw how friends and family got radicalized thanks to social media. Social media is currently fueling at least one war and multiple regional conflicts, where people who know nothing about the events, get "educated" by social media. Social media is fueling hatred and bigotry, further diving already fragile societies. Social media disinformation campaigns were behind Brexit. And social media is used as a tool by government to spread misinformation or influence social opinions. All these in addition to everyone being an influencer and showing their phone into the faces of people in public places, while selling crap from AliExpress for 500% markup, as if you drink electrolytes, put a nose tape, and clean your face every day -- your life will become ten folds better.

I can't name one good thing that came out of social media. None. And even if there are things, and I'm sure someone will name them out, they are minor comparing to the negative sides, or could be achieved in a more sustainable way.

It depends on what you want to do in this gigantic field.

And prevents some blind people from reading it.

Can we please get rid of the clickbait titles?

If it is only imaginary then it should be no problem for you to write them a contract to take on all legal and panelty costs linked with it for.. lets say 50$?

So we fantasize now some claims into reality and then argue against them?

AI was never “developed to help juniors shine”…

There is just no good reason to build nuclear in a world with renewables.

Especially if you consider that most nations cannot produce fuel rods by themselves.

And if you calculate in the risk like “get me a insurance that covers leaks and melt downs” and finance somehow the disassembly of a nuclear plant, nuclear is one of the most costly ways you can get energy.

Plus it is a huge nice target in war times.

There are so so many benefits to decentralized renewables that you intuition is absolutely correct.

This statement is very uninformed. Other sources are intermittent, nuclear energy is not. The problem about many countries not being able to produce fuel rods themselves is true, but the exact same applies to other energy sources. Most nations depend on very few other nations for imports of oil gas etc.

Nuclear power plants only have a high upfront cost, which is compensated by their long lifetime of 60-100 years. Other energy sources also have high upfront production costs + you need to spend additional money on infrastructure for batteries/storage.

I also don't understand your argument on military targets. A NPP is a target the sane way a solar park, wind-park, geothermal facility or whatever would be a target. And to add to that, wile they are of course not indestrctible they are extremely robustly built. You can literally fly an airplane into them and it wouldnt result in a meltdown.. I do agree on your point on decentralization, yes.

Not with a tech that needs 15 years to be build

At least in Germany this would be illegal.

There are no „disguised ads“ allowed in Germany at all.

When something is constantly happening everywhere, it becomes more of a question of whether the law is enforceable whether than if it is "allowed".

Indeed, it's not allowed to not have a French translation in ads in France, yet now they put everything in english everywhere.

When it is not enforceable, the law is meaningless and only blocks honest people.

And becomes a tool for selective enforcement.

Showing tracking-banners ("cookie banner") that hide their "reject all" somewhere in sub-menus of custom settings is also illegal in Germany (and the EU). Yet you see them everywhere.

On US based sites mostly in my experience: privacy and user consent are pretty low on the priority list it seems.

They don’t have YouTube “influencers” in Germany?

Every kind of advertisement has to be disclosed, and generally is. Even just free gifts without any strings attached have to be clearly declared so.

So the health service did not get worse but there are now more elderly which have an effect…

And this does not result in the health service having lower quality for the individual?

This is a very funky way to frame this.
