I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

They are in local times and they probably were not in the same location

When I was a child they had to give me 2 extra injections of one vaccine, because I was still not reacting enough after the normal dose, then it was ok

It's impossible to know without more information. The vaccine teaches their body how to fight it, but their immune system may not be strong enough, or they may be exposed to too much of it (like spending the day at a nursery with several infected kids) to be able to fight it all

Vaccination only fully works if most people get it (I believe it needs 95% of the community to be vaccinated for it to stop spreading). In a low vaccination environment the vaccination does not fully prevent catching it but reduces the severity of the illnesses.

Du coup ça ne leur donne que des avis des gens assez en colère pour donner leur avis pour rien. C'est pas bon pour les métriques de satisfaction mais ça peut aider à se faire entendre 🙂

Ah du coup ça m'inspire, j'ai envie de faire un article qui explique que le Bcc dans les mails utilise du carbone pour la copie et donc qu'il faut mettre tout le monde sur la ligne To pour sauver la planète. Ca poussera peut être les gens qui ne croivent pas au carbone à utiliser Bcc.

Text reads: About synthetic panels Recruiting the right participants for a study can be difficult. You may not get the exact demographics you need, and the shorter the deadline, the less sure you can be that everyone will answer on time. One possible solution can be to use synthetic panels. Synthetic panels are powered by a first party proprietary AI model developed here at Qualtrics. Our synthetic panel is trained on thousands of responses from a variety of demographic backgrounds in order to more accurately predict how certain populations would respond to a survey. Our synthetic panel is based on the United States General Population, and is only available in English. This panel comes with ready-made quotas and target breakouts in order to represent your chosen population and make it easy to launch your survey right away.

Text reads: Question-writing best practices To get the most reliable and actionable results from synthetic audiences, consider these question-writing best practices: Ask forward-looking and attitudinal questions. Synthetic panels perform best with perceptions, preferences, and intent-based questions. For example, “How likely are you to try…?” Synthetic panels are less applicable for studies on past behaviors, detailed recall, brand recall, or awareness questions. For example, “When did you last visit…?”

Text reads: Discussion The current study aimed to conduct a meta-analysis of the TPB when applied to health behaviours which addressed the limitations of previous reviews by including only prospective tests of behaviour, applying RE meta-analytic procedures, correcting correlations for sampling and measurement error, and hierarchically analysing the effect of behaviour type and sample and methodological moderators. Some 237 tests were identified which examined relations amongst model components. Overall the analysis indicated that the TPB could explain 19.3% of the variance in behaviour and 44.3% of the variance in intention across studies. This level of prediction of behaviour is slightly lower than that of previous meta-analytic reviews which have found between 27% (Armitage & Conner, 2001; Hagger et al., 2002) and 36% (Trafimow et al., 2002) of the variance in behaviour to be explained by intention and PBC.

Did you know that from tomorrow, Qualtrics is offering synthetic panels (AI-generated participants)?

Follow me down a rabbit hole I'm calling "doing science is tough and I'm so busy, can't we just make up participants?"

Well, it would be hard to find another job

Polling: "Do you think the rich have too much political power in the U.S.?"

Yes: 80%
No: 8%

Independent voters are 81%/6% on this; even Trump voters are 68%/18%.

Maybe a political party could lead on this issue.

That's probably why Trump says the prices have gone down!

I got blocked in the past by anti AI people when saying there are useful AI things, like their camera having face detection or washing machines adapting to the load and how dirty it is. LLM has definitely hurt AI...

4-panel vertical comic. (1) 100 Years Ago [two people standing next to bicycle with small car nearby] PERSON 1: It’s too dangerous riding a bike with these cars around. I should get a car, too. (2) 50 Years Ago [two people between smaller car and bigger car] PERSON 2 with short hair: Small cars are less safe in collisions with larger vehicles, so I should get a bigger one. (3) Today [two people between big car and even bigger car] PERSON 1: Everyone has huge SUVs now. If I don’t get the biggest one, I’m putting my family at risk. (4) Soon [two people next to large armored car with spiked clubs attached] PERSON 2: If I don’t install more whirling spike clubs, I’ll be destroyed by all the other drivers who...

I just need to be careful with the wording to not make it sound like a tax but just a business deal to use that infrastructure

Maybe some of those profits should be used to fund things like air traffic control then
