  • I was pretty good at maths in school, and throughout my adult life there have been times when doing mental math has been helpful.

    I must’ve saved quite a few minutes, perhaps even an hour total.

    But it has never been that important, that using the calculator I always have in my pocket would’ve somehow changed anything in the moment.

    In all, it actually doesn’t feel like that helpful of a skill, though your milage will vary depending on your job.

    In saying that, LLM’s aren’t going anywhere, and the panic around peoples stupification is probably a mask for ignorance or indifference which would exist regardless.






  • You don’t just accidentally stumble upon a honey pot/illegal website, you intentionally stumble into them by going to shady websites, and then clicking links to even shadier websites.

    Why would you click on the links to these shadier websites? Because the thumbnails approximate what you’re looking for; barely legal teens, only not barely.

    Pedophelic interest doesn’t “ignite”. It’s not like other kinks/fetishes which require exposure to discover.

    The real immorality of the issue should come from the fact that the honey pots are still using child sexual abuse material, which is almost certainly used without the adult victims consent.

    This does raise an interesting ethical dilemma; if an adult consents to law enforcement using CSAM made while they were a minor for the purposes of identifying individuals with the capacity to cause harm, or contribute financially to those causing harm - is that ethical?
