I don't see what would be 'popular' or trending.
I was joined with r/announcements/ but it's old, so I left.
Best option I found that comes close to a suggested frontpage: https://www.reddit.com/r/all/top/

Reply to comment by __-___--- in Bill Gates warns that artificial intelligence can attack humans by ethereal3xp
Many people are already proxies; look at the storming of the US Capitol, or Brexit, Russian propaganda, or advertisement in general. Are those who get manipulated to blame, or the one doing the manipulation?

Reply to comment by fitzroy95 in Bill Gates warns that artificial intelligence can attack humans by ethereal3xp
Yes, but the real question is: Who is to blame, who is thrown in jail, who get a fine?
Is Elon Musk to blame for the update? Is the bank to blame for allowing these online transactions.
The question is: is the person who instructed the AI to blame because the AI doesn't actually understand the implications of what it is doing, or is the actual AI to blame yet what happens to those who instructed the AI, or what if the AI is "glitching"?
Marchello_E t1_jdtpfq2 wrote
An AI is just an algorithm. It needs a tool to attack. With the US's (I think failed) logic of "guns don't kill people but people do" then who would be doing the attacking part?

Looking at the second link: Wasn't that photo already debunked as a reflection? (perhaps an island) . Don't know about the third.

Do you know who the author is of this article?
Find the differences. It's either Will Dunham or Anugraha Sundaravelu. Going with the date I think it's the former.
What do you think?
Also, please explain to me what Reuters is.

You're right....
That definitely worked more on fear and control. Knowledge that could potentially be dangerous to be curious about.

Reply to Study on former citizens of East Germany sheds light on why people may choose deliberate ignorance by chrisdh79
>Curiosity, the desire to obtain knowledge, is one of the defining traits of human beings. Yet there are situations when people willingly choose not to know. This phenomenon — deliberate ignorance — has been attracting a growing interest from researchers in various scientific disciplines.
This is not about how to solve a puzzle, or why bumblebees can fly, or how the Moon was formed....!!
This is like finding out that your best neighbor is Jewish and for some stated absurd and obscure reason you have to deal with it.
I can imagine that some folks were forced/suckered into the Stasi-situation and are deeply sorry. That doesn't make it an excuse yet finding out about them forces an opinion, and an emotion, a separation, and all that stuff we actually don't like about that world war - what we don't like about any war.
Marchello_E t1_j7uzjvr wrote
The moons are just there, there's no precalculated purpose. It's left-over rubble that didn't make it to form a planet. Or it was a planet but now destroyed. Or it was part of another solar system, but no longer there.
There are many aspects that makes a planet livable. Jupiter's atmosphere is not one of them. Most is gaseous.
Our moon was formed by the rubble of a collision with another planet. This collision itself made things surface from the planetary core that would not be there without that collision, like Iron. It is likely that it also caused the tilt creating seasonal variation, while the Moon itself is causing a slightly more frequent variation in the form of tides and perhaps affecting tectonic plates. All these variations and stirring of material may be the cause of live.

Reply to comment by nuisanceCreator in Could ChatGPT supercharge false narratives? by Wagamaga
No it did not. Basically the narrative is decided by its fallacy in its used context. Or its manipulative use.
As your question, there is no definitive answer: it depends on the context.

Reply to comment by nuisanceCreator in Could ChatGPT supercharge false narratives? by Wagamaga
With a bit of critical thinking most manipulative narratives can be seen from 'miles away'. Yet we've seen with COVID deniers, Q-anon manipulations, and certain ex-president sprouting nonsense each and every day that a large group just follow the narrative.
So what's a false narrative: Avoidable harm caused by that narrative. A narrative that's causing fear, uncertainty and doubt. A narrative that attacks a person to win an argument but doesn't provide a solution...

Reply to Could ChatGPT supercharge false narratives? by Wagamaga
ChatGPT is already able to convince people on having the right information. It is trained to find statistical correlations in language, not truths. For now it gets information from non-AI inspired sources, but who actually knows what these sources are. The more often certain information gets repeated, the more likely it is to end up as a source of training data. When more and more articles in the near future get written by an AI (not necessarily the same) the validity of the constructed narrative will start to spiral downwards at an alarming rate as the "source" simply gets reinforced by its own wackyness.

Reply to Scientists are reviving proteins from billions of years ago to fight diseases in human cells by Logibenq
>He also analyzed the DNA sequence known as PAM, which allows microbes to distinguish between their own genomes and the genomes of viruses. Without PAMs, a bacterium could easily kill itself. But the new study – of which Mojica is a co-author – indicates that some of the oldest CAS enzymes are capable of cutting DNA accurately without the need for PAM.
The old-one probably was fast in recombination/evolution in the early days....until PAM came along and was utilized as a fail-safe mechanism against eating the good part of itself and thus survived and multiplied.
Good that we are evolved enough to work around billion years old fail-safe mechanisms. Now I just ponder about DNA that can be transcribed more efficiently when you get rid of all the unnecessary redundancy. Maybe replace it with a QR-code only to buy your daily protein infusion.
