I mean this is a list of people actively being intolerant of the world... paradox of tolerance applies here.

Really jumping to conclusions there, lmao. Dogs have been human hunting partners for thousands of years. Do you know what they are trained to do? Find the thing and bring it to a human. Of course they're going to find the thing and bring it to a human. To extrapolate that cats won't help you because they are uninterested in finding the thing unless there's something in it for them? huge leap of logic.

I'm really glad it's worked out for him, that's definitely a rather bold idea and amazingly anarchist. I love it!

they’re framed as new problems

I think the framing is more that it's increasing

29% of Barnardo’s frontline practitioners said they were seeing more children affected by misogynistic content online, compared to the year before. 29% also said they were seeing an increase in child-on-child sexual abuse and / or children displaying problematic or harmful sexual behaviour, compared to the year before.

Which I think is both a fair assessment and entirely predictable given the concerted attacks on women's rights going on across many countries by conservative parties right now. In addition to letting men's hate speech run rampant (red pill, incel, tradwife type stuff), they're also attacking trans women (notably not trans people, as 100% of the narrative is focused on trans women) which opens the door to transvestigation which is just blatant misogyny targeted at those who don't conform to what is essentially tradwife goalposts.

Comment section has no idea how safe modern steroids and PEDs are and how far the science has come. Just wait until the enhanced games are over and note how many Olympic records they break. I bet it'll be close to, if not zero. Almost everyone at the Olympic level is already using PEDs, it's just a game of who gets caught.

it isn't for me, but maybe that's my ad blocker?

EDIT: tried it in another browser, my blocker happened to block the first 3 paragraphs lol, no wonder it was so confusing....

What the hell is this article? It has no source, it sounds like a half-baked thought and is all of 3 short paragraphs in length. This is low effort engagement bait at best.

I tried googling what the hell this might be based off of, and found this article. It appears to be a review conducted by the office of the auditor general (full report can be found here). The audit was of the process for the request for bids for the scribe system - that is to say, the 'pre-approved' vendors. There is nothing about whether any of this software is used, let alone how it is used.

Like yes, it's important to be looking at this, and it's good that the auditor is telling the government to improve its RFB process to better screen these tools, but this article is making it out like actual doctors are using this software and blatantly using it in ways that would harm the patient. That's just not true.

Frankly speaking I should probably just remove this article entirely as its half baked at best, AI slop at worst, but I'm going to leave it up because hopefully folks will see something like this and stop reacting to a headline immediately and instead take a closer look at articles that are shared as engagement bait.

An interesting read. It never struck me as something that needed researching - the obvious bias baked into any and all tests which utilize language and probe at abstract ideas like feelings. It seems obvious to me that the idea of "sadness" is both inherently as well as culturally determined. For anyone who's dealt with individuals with varying amounts of alexithymia its glaringly obvious that some of the standard questions such as "feeling down, depressed, or hopeless" (PHQ9) would be interpreted differently, let alone questions in which context is crucially important such as "poor appetite or overeating" (PHQ9) or "being so restless that it is hard to sit still" (GAD7 - a test about anxiety) that are common on these kinds of questionnaires. Perhaps its because my interaction and discussions with clinicians tends to be folks who are focused more on the total mental wellness of someone than they are about the specific answers to a question and are using the context of the patient's other conditions and affect to assess, but this hardly seems groundbreaking... except that perhaps the literature on this itself is minimal. Perhaps this kind of clinical awareness has been handed down, rather than studied, and the corpus of literature needs to be enhanced so that more can learn and absorb it.
