    This is so, so fucking stupid. Am i really supposed such a jarring and complete lack of ceitical thinking ability to believe that this is an issue worth writing an article about? To explain: of all the monumentally incompetent, illegal, mond-numbingly stupid, and agressively short-sighted things a trenager is inevitably going to type into a school laptop I'm supposed to believe that THIS, this is what is worth writing an article about? I do not disagree with what the author is teying to say but holy fucking shit what a load of pandering, steaming shit this is. Getting flagged for being trans is, like, one of a countless number of idiotic things a teenager could do with a school laptop with monitoring software installed that could potentially land them in hot water. The dangers of normalizing surveillance amongst students are so fucking multitudinous that to highlight any one of them is fuckjng pointless when addressing the root of it covers ALL of them. Including the subject of this article.

    ChatGPT is not a doctor. But models trained on imaging can actually be a very useful tool for them to utilize. Even years ago, just before the AI “boom”, they were asking doctors for details on how they examine patient images and then training models on that. They found that the AI was “better” than doctors specifically because it followed the doctor’s advice 100% of the time; thereby eliminating any kind of bias from the doctor that might interfere with following their own training. Of course, the splashy headline “AI better than doctors” was ridiculous. But it does show the benefit of having a neutral tool for doctors to utilize, especially when looking at images for people who are outside of the typical demographics that much medical training is based on. (As in mostly just white men. For example, everything they train doctors on regarding knee imagining comes from images of the knees of coal miners in the UK some decades ago)

    I pretty much agree. The only thing I would add is that it's not our place to tell others to lose weight or to point out their weight; people already know they are overweight and that it's unhealthy. We shouldn't be policing other people's bodies. It's also possible to be overweight and have body positivity; being overweight doesn't equate to being unattractive.

    This appears to just be a compilation of other leaks: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/no-the-16-billion-credentials-leak-is-not-a-new-data-breach/ Still not a bad idea to change passwords and make sure MFA is enabled.

    Yeah she was on to something with the layers, but screw it up. I’m sure the models got better since.
