  • I think your being a little to zoom in on the technicalities of modern day ai to tell the trees from the forest.

    I am a bundle of connected neurons, effectively a neural network, i can calculate just fine.

    Humans are “in general” horrible at doing math but thats besides the point of being capable of it.

    Modern humans have a calculator in their pocket and we use it as a tool to make our own conclusions. Like ways “current day” ai often has acces to a calculator tool to do the same. Sure this is not ai doing the actual math but in practice its the same as a human with a calculator.

    But the topic at hand is not even about current day ai but about hypotethical future ai that “somehow” is trusted enough to pull the plug on machines that keep a sick human alive.

    Such future ai. If it would ever exist would have acces to such tools, possibly more complex tools to calculate odds of survival using (hopefully) a formula with a great number of input variables to consider all kinds of situations.

    I would imagine such to be a known formula that humans could also independantly measure and calculate ending in a % chance of a survival. But somehow in this hypothetical future this would be a job given to ai.

    So the question is less can ai solve math and more can we trust ai to interptet humam measuring tools to then put those values in a known formula tool to then act appropriatly on the results of said tool, and not at any point misalign/hallucinate.



  • Having done a few clicks to look into why this specific article is gendered.

    Cybernews is reporting an article By NL times

    The article by NL times was already gendered.

    NL Times has wrote other non gendered articles on this issue but this article was prompted by a lawsuit being prepared by Offlimits

    Offlimits is an organization that combats sexual abuse.

    The context of this Lawsuit is the discovery of telegram and other channels for the distribution of “creepshots”, often sexually pictures taken from compromising angles.

    The victims of these creepshots are almost always women.

    Its similar to catcalling. It does happen to both genders but if it happens to men its a noticeable rare event. By the time a women reaches adulthood its another tuesday.


  • You may not be aware of this or do it intentionally but responding “what about the men” when the topic focuses on “women” is a common frustration online.

    The reverse scenario, where the focus is men rarely gets a comment “how about women”

    You’re technically not wrong though, everyone could be affected and i do expect journalistic pieces to be inform more broadly about an issue, but the issue does seem to disproportionally affect people who appear to be women and its also fair to note this difference.

    I am sure there is no ill will on your part but i have seen online “fights” break out over this pattern. At first it confused me but once you understand it, you notice it everytime even when the post is by and for women and posted on a women focused community it will get a comment like this.

    There are enough articled and discussions calling out the meta privacy issue in a non gendered way. The few adressing women are not harming any man.



  • I would certainly hope you get an exception to bring your own sugared something when showing proof of medical needs.

    But i have never seen it explicitly stated that such exception is possible on events that ban you from taking food/drink. Which appears to be more and more common as culture gets bought out and enshitificated.

    Mayve i am too autistic to assume such exception exists but i have been burned by assuming common sense will apply many times before.

    Its also not just diabetics, some medications can cause thypoglycemia too. It also shouldn’t really matter what the reason is.

    Its odd downvoted dont work on your end, my comment has 5 of them.



  • Its not a big problem if you are not one of the people with a medical issue that need a reliable and exactly known amount of sugar.

    Its a life endangering problem if you are.

    Foods are rarely as standardized as drinks. Medical professionals relked on the availability and exactly known amount of sugar in regular code to prescribe it as part of a diet.

    This was at some point even adressed on my local news when they changed the coke zero packaging to be more like regular coke. There is an increased change a customer (or waiter) could grab the wrong can and taste wise you wouldn’t know. This goed both directions.

    People who can’t have sugar may be served sugar.

    People who require sugar may be served sugar free.

    I bet the scope of this problem is small but at least some medical professionals and health groups agree that this is not the way to go.


  • There is way to much sugar in coke

    But be the devils advocate. The current anti sugar trend is worse.

    Sugar is a natural and useful component to the body. There are times where having sugar available is not only important but can save lives (including some types of diabetes)

    I have gone to locations where all provided drinks where zero sugar and bringing your own drinks not allowed. Thats is not an improvement.








  • Maybe i am blind but i dont think they explicitly said that.

    I just know that “traditionally” food industry does not make pictures themselves they hire a professional artist for doing so. That was just normal bussines. So they where never in the habbit of doing it themselves.

    While i never agreed with advertisment more fancy than the actual product. That is/was a career where people put real effort and artistic skill into. Its huge shame that its getting stolen by ai with literally 0 results.

    I wonder what pictures this menu had before ai.
