Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What do you think is the modern day equivalent to asbestos in 1960?
2·10 days agoThis is about right. Teflon (PTFE) itself is mostly harmless to humans because you aren’t likely to consume large enough amounts or small enough particles of Teflon for it to enter your bloodstream.
Other PFAS like PFOA, PFOS, PFHXS, and PFNA, which are the kind you would find used to coat the inside of a popcorn bag to keep the butter off the bag, are commonly found in human blood and have been linked to negative health outcomes in humans.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What do you think is the modern day equivalent to asbestos in 1960?
7·10 days agoTo be fair, asbestos is still all over the place. They did this fun thing where they just reclassified different asbestos structures into different categories and banned some of them.
My guess for another substance that isn’t asbestos will be either PFAS or we’ll finally find out what all these micro/nanoplastics are doing to us.

Technology@lemmy.world•Waymo relies on firefighters and police to bail out stuck robotaxis | TechCrunchEnglish
11·16 days agoOther commenters saw Waymo and instantly turned their brain off.
I cannot think of many situations where a car is broken down/stuck in the way of traffic and police do not help direct traffic out of the way while the vehicle is recovered. In this case, there is no driver so it needs to be moved by someone.
If, like the situation in the article describes, people are being routed the wrong direction, it’s really unlikely that a roadside assistance team operated or contracted by Waymo would be able to get to the vehicle. Who else is supposed to move it?
I do think they should pay their fair share of taxes to public officials/police if this is the only viable option for moving their vehicles or of the way in an emergency.

9·18 days agoI think the issue is that those things were tied to your job, not to some external source that just gives you free time to fuck around.

15·25 days agoCaffeine dependency is a thing for sure. You’ll get some gnarly headaches for a few days and feel fatigued. Takes about 2 weeks to lose it.

Technology@lemmy.world•Mother of wounded Maya Gebala sues OpenAI over mass shooting in Tumbler Ridge, B.C.English
29·29 days agoWould it be valid, then, to say that a search engine is responsible when someone searches how to do a crime?
How about a forum where people talk about the subject, even if they themselves weren’t going to participate in the crimes?
The chatbot is just another avenue to finding information you want to find.
I did read into the article and apparently they’re suing because OpenAI had the account flagged as a potential harm to self or others, but they had already banned the original account. What more do you want them to do? Report them to the thought police?

How about the shoe manufacturer for providing the means to walk easier?
These kinds of lawsuits are so incredibly stupid.

They never owned digital art, just a link to a specific instance of one!

Since it’s related: ketchup (the word, not necessarily the sauce) has a historical origin in China. It would have been a fermented fish sauce rather than a tomato based sauce.
