Easier to believe a lie than to risk catastrophic cognitive dissonance that threatens belief system, sense of purpose and the consequent fractured self-identity

Two hits. That's all it took. Bryn Spejcher tried cannabis for the first time, took two hits of a high potency product, and within minutes believed she was in hell and had to kill someone to escape. She stabbed her boyfriend 108 times and remembers none of it. The court called it cannabis-induced psychotic disorder. The judge said she had no control. This is not hypothetical. This happened.
Cannabis doubles your risk of violence in the general population. In psychiatric patients it's 2.5 times higher. That's not my opinion. That's a systematic review of 51 studies covering 200,000 people. The data exists. We just aren't talking about it.

What are your initial impressions of Grok 4.20?
Major upgrades are still landing every week.
Testlabor@testerlabor
Grok 4.20 is now officially out of Beta. It's now on Auto, Fast, Expert & Heavy.

Grok upgrades
X Freeze@XFreeze
The new Grok 4.20 Beta benchmarks are wild 🥇 #1 lowest hallucinating AI (22%) 🥇 #1 at following instructions (83%) 🥈 #2 in agentic tool use (97%) Grok 4.20 ranks #1 in the lowest hallucination rate ever recorded across all AI models tested globally Most models race to sound smart. Grok 4.20 was built to never lie and still dominates on instruction following and agentic tasks This is literally a 500B model performing top-notch in the things that matter most

@justalexoki @JackHadders This does NOT replicate the effects of cell phone, wifi, or Bluetooth.
@grok explain how Bluetooth switches frequencies 1600 times a second, and how the protocol spikes significantly over the allowed "average".
English
they blasted mice with the same frequency the cell towers use and the ones who got the most blasted lived longer lmao

for a while i've had a slight fear that the bluetooth from my airpods could be frying my brain this weekend i pulled the raw data from a $30m government study of 1,679 mice blasted with cell phone radiation and reanalyzed it what i found was...not what I expected? 🧵

@CRGreathouse @zanehkoch How fast can you turn your phone? 1000 times a second?
I don't think you understand the nuance behind electromagnetic dispersion. This is not a proxy for "Bluetooth doesn't cause cancer".
English
@clarkbox @zanehkoch The frequency barely changes -- it's a very narrow window, and it doesn't make a difference to anything under ~1 foot. (The varying frequency will change which cells are heated, but not as much as pivoting the phone by a degree.) And the output spikes, but not 100x.

@CRGreathouse @zanehkoch Do you understand how the total output spikes? And that the frequency constantly changes?
English
@clarkbox @zanehkoch The mice were getting 100x the dose you’d get with your cell phone strapped to your body.
English
@cremieuxrecueil What device can give me even low doses of radiation? Lol
This does not simulate real world use conditions. Research how Bluetooth switches frequencies thousands of times a second. And consider that the devices will spike many times the allowed average radiation.
English
This is an awesome thread showing evidence for radiation hormesis:
The idea that low doses of radiation are actually health-promoting!

I booted up a Dell XPS 17 with a 10th Gen Core i7 for the first time in two years and this thing absolutely screams. It feels faster than some new high performance PCs that I’ve received. I need to think about this one. I’m updating all the software and we shall see where this goes.

Huh!
Even though the newest COVID vaccines are more effective than the older ones, they don't lead to myocarditis.
They got both more effective *and* safer!
Crémieux@cremieuxrecueil
A new study just came out on this topic. Using data from almost 14 million young people in England, they found that COVID—but not COVID vaccination—was broadly associated with heart problems. The myocarditis bump (which is milder than real myocarditis) was also small.

@PatrickMoorhead @santos_wallace Any chance they have is to partner with someone like waymo.

@santos_wallace I am wondering if Rivian will get close. I know they’re not anywhere today.

My next car I buy will be a self driving car with full auto. As in, I don’t really have to pay attention self driving m. Question is do I wait and buy Tesla when the new hardware comes out or do I get a Rivian and wait for their software?

@RosieBarton @Soc_Unveiled Is this a parody account? You're really this arrogant?

@oqtiverqser @COVID19_disease @grok You fundamentally misunderstand how masks work. It's not just the size of the pores that governs their effectiveness, but the electrostatic properties of the substances involved.

N95 Masks Nearly Perfect at Blocking COVID, UMD Study Shows
Researchers Found Even Lower-Performing Masks Were Protective.
The science is clear respirators are effective when used.

@MssJilly @brownecfm Tell me what's wrong with that data? You don't believe in science?
English
To not wear a mask. My whole life, I've never seen anything close to it. People would rather get sick than stand out.
In the world we live in now, being immune to peer pressure is an extremely high value trait. It could save your life or someone else's.

What’s the most extreme form of peer pressure you’ve seen amongst adults?

How much DNA do you absorb into your bloodstream from eating corn or beans or beef? Specialists used to think it was close to zero, and it is not a huge amount, but it is Meaningful. But having DNA in your bloodstream does not give it a pathway into your cell nuclei. It's perfectly fine to have fragments of DNA from foreign sources in your blood.
English
How much DNA is allowed in each vaccine dose? How much is actually found?? What???

The COVID-19 vaccine was manufactured in E. coli. “That’s why we are looking now at plasma DNA. We were told that there wouldn’t be any.” -@DrSuzanneH7 Expected limit: 10 nanograms What researchers report finding: up to 627× higher “It’s an absolute nightmare.” -@DrSuzanneH7

@brownecfm This. I am constantly agog at otherwise intelligent people knowing the risks and still choosing to not mask, but also not masking up their kids. That's the part that shocks me the most.
English
@brownecfm Just before Covid hit, there were huge bushfires where I live, and thick smoke hung in the air for weeks. Everyone was scrambling for P2 masks to get some relief. But when Covid arrived, its ’masks don’t work’ time. Crazy.
