While the consumption for AI train can be large, there are arguments to be made for its net effect in the long run.

The article's last section gives a few examples that are interesting to me from an environmental perspective. Using smaller problem-specific models can have a large effect in reducing AI emissions, since their relation to model size is not linear. AI assistance can indeed increase worker productivity, which does not necessarily decrease emissions but we have to keep in mind that our bodies are pretty inefficient meat bags. Last but not least, AI literacy can lead to better legislation and regulation.

If you are worried about duplicates, aka a single bot spamming multiple votes, then that's feasible to mitigate.

If you are worried about multiple bots spamming one vote each, that's harder to mitigate and it comes down to how the instances handles bot accounts in general. IMO it's best to ignore the bot problem and instead focus on designing a vote weighting system that favors similar instances.

While the question is hilarious, the lack of references to in depth guides is a bit alarming...

For anyone interested, there are a few papers on cryptographically secure voting, where both voter anonymity and election integrity are preserved.

Most designs consider three separate entities, where if you accumulate the information between those entities you would be able to identify a voter and his vote, but each entity on itself does not hold enough information.

He is a bit sleepy after a long walk at the park 🥰 We met a bunch of wonderful friends today. I even had a huge puppy (10 months old but bigger in size than me) climb into my hands for a hug

Pretty interesting study!! They found that introverts that used texting to express themselves demonstrated higher levels of self-confidence than those that used texting to escape. However, for extroverts it was the opposite, those that used texting to escape demonstrated higher levels of self-confidence.

As an AuDHD person, aka someone that has made a skipping rope out of the extrovert/introvert line, I have observed that on good days my extroverted side is on outreach mode while my introverted side is on deep connection mode.

Sadly, unemployment among autistic individuals is really high (vaguely remember a 80% statistic)... Though, specific fields can have extremely high prevelence of autistic people (again vaguely remember a statistic about 20% of software engineers being autistic).

We are living in a world where our needs are ignored (if not mocked) and our super valuable skills are underutilized... You should remember that you can only control your behavior, it's not entirely your fault you cannot find a job. We are not broken, the world is.

I know you are not looking for tips, but I am going to give you one anyway... Make your special interests your career. Not only will you get to spend much more time on them, you will also find more people to share your passion. Additionally, the time and effort you have spent in them will make you a high value hire.

Follow people from other instances, if you find them interesting, chances are they will find you interesting and follow back.

Use tags, especially popular ones.

In it, Walz argues that the lessons of the “Jewish Holocaust” should be taught “in the greater context of human rights abuses,” rather than as a unique historical anomaly or as part of a larger unit on World War II. “To exclude other acts of genocide severely limited students’ ability to synthesize the lessons of the Holocaust and the ability to apply them elsewhere,” he wrote.

What an antisemite, he wants people to learn so such acts of horror never happen again.

Edit: Obviously, I am being sarcastic, I totally agree with Walz.
