Because recent AI and cloud development proves that genesis was right, god trained multi model transformer neutral network to simulate earth in 6 days on the cloud. God (the lead developer and co-owner of company) created earth branch and he was working in agile environment because the tasks are clearly explained in the genesis book sprint with day numbers so everything was estimated during planning.
At the end of sprint god deployed earth to development environment to test if everything works ok so he can continue with his changes next week. Adam and Eve were naked subprocesses without firewall and edge case errors but it was fine because whole thing was just a draft PR and god wanted to see what happens during weekend.
When god went home for weekend from now on everything got fucked up, eden was unstable and satan junior developer and son of co-owner uncle was on hot call during weekend. On Sunday satan was having barbecue and got a call that he need to redeploy eden. He was so drunk that not only he deployed god’s branch to production but also he merged this branch into main tree. Unfortunately the Snake was online that day, he broke into eden and changed all the code on main branch introducing many errors and exploits, stole all the data from gods company.
When god got back on monday he god fucking mad. He said fuck you satan from now on you will be working on earth alone despite you don’t know programming at all I can’t fire you because me and your uncle are best friends. What I will do I will push main with earth into dev and let you fix it and I will rollback eden to where it was. Untill all the bugs from earth branch are resolved don’t fucking dare to make a single voice about merging earth into production branch.
So here we are satan knows nothing about programming so he causes more evil than good to this day. Couple thousands earth years later god’s kid went into intership for couple of months and tried to fix earth branch but fucking exploits grow so big they manipulated humans and killed his fix patch, now we wait until he finish his masters and come back to fix all the bugs.
Once per day god runs Holy Spirit CI/CD that automatically merges eden into earth and validates if earth passes all eden unit tests if it’s not it rolls back and marks all people that pass the tests on green and all those are not to red. That fucking simple because dev development cloud have unlimited computing power.
Recent studies in AI shows that merge with eden will happen sooner than later despite all the errors because Jesus said that when he will be back all dead will come back to life and now you need only couple pictures, couple seconds of voice and chat history to clone anyone and deploy this person to cloud (see AI Girlfriend) without their constent. Probably what will happend is that all the people will be put in freeze ( there was test freeze during covid - no get out from home rule) so all of us can be patched when we are in front of computers. So we’re waiting for those patches and we can go back to eden.
If you don’t believe me go work as a developer for a year
There’s not a good way to find out, no. A lot of the data is “anonymous” when collected, and aggregated before it’s sold. But it’s not hard to de-anonymize the data afterward.
So it’s hard to put together a firm trail that shows data from point A gets to point B.
I believe you’re asking if health companies purchase the data. So I’ll make the assumption that maybe you’re a smoker and you’re wondering if your data will be purchased that you smoke and participate in smoking communities.
The official answer is no, and I doubt they are specifically purchasing that.
However, I think this is going to get very muddy very quickly over the next few years, as I don’t believe there are any laws (in the US) protecting us from health companies purchasing that info. At this point it’s been fairly difficult, but with machine learning and generative AI it’s going to be relatively simple to say “From all of the information you have about {user} tell me if they are a smoker, and if so how long they have been smoking” and then code to say if true and greater than 5 then put them in a higher insurance bracket.
So, I guess I’ll say probably not, but I wouldn’t risk it if you’re real worried.
While I agree in sentiment, why would they buy info that’s not potentially useful?
– even in the US, I don’t think medical insurers or providers are allowed to discriminate by most self-destructive behaviors, like smoking, drinking …. I don’t know about mental illness but I certainly hope they can’t
— companies wanting to sell you medical products, such as for smoking cessation, probably do already advertise with demographics they link to smokers, do already buy that data, but are you counting these as medical providers?
It’s more auctioned off, and most businesses aren’t involved in the transaction. Everytime you come across an ad, (usually) Google says, “Hey, I got this person who hangs out on Lemmy and searches for Mozzarella pics WAY too much. Who wants to show him an ad?” And Sargento gives them a few pennies to try to sell you cheese. Of course, all this happens before the page loads, so algorithms are used to assign the ads and track whether or not you interacted with them.
Usually Newegg and Amazon, sometimes NextWarehouse for things I’m not in a rush for (they do a lot of drop shipping from the distributors/manufactures themselves so it’s sometimes cheaper but also slower). B&H is also worth a look, sometimes they do price drops on things & end up being cheaper than the other places.
There’s a local Best Buy near me that’s in a special tax district (lower sales tax) so I could try checking them out but usually the prices there are marked up so much that it’s not worth it IMO.
There aren’t any Micro Centers near me, it’d take a fair amount of travel to get to one.
Childhood indoctrination is a big part of it. I have been told by my 8-year old niece that she’d like to save me from drowning in a lake of fire. She was genuinely scared for me. It’s literal child abuse followed by Stockholm syndrome.
Your young niece sounds a lot like my elderly family. They’re conscious that they “just can’t let go” despite being very progressive and open to new ideas and they’re aware of that.
When I was about the age of 12, I had a new friend who asked me if I believed in God. I said no, and then she told me I was going to burn in hell. That was my first introduction to religion.
I don’t remember ever speaking with her again, but I still remember that interaction crystal clear and where it happened 20+ years later.
I’m gonna try to give an explanation using both science and religion. We don’t understand what gravity is. We know it pulls us to the ground, we know it exists, we know it’s what keeps everything stuck to the earth, but we don’t know what it really is or why it works, it just works. Physics aims not to explain gravity, but to define it. Now let’s look at, say, the Bible. It is stated in the Bible that God created life, the earth, and man in 6 days. Science isn’t sure how we got here, it just knows that we are here. Science aims to define the natural world and religion aims to explain the natural world.
Both science and religion try to answer the question ‘why’. Religion says ‘a God did it!’. Science says ‘I don’t know. Let’s observe our environment and see what theory could best explain what we see. If anyone later proves me wrong, I won’t be upset, I will be glad that I understand more.’
I take the metro into the city every other week to visit museums, my plan is to take the pack and give to one of the many homeless people i see before i make it into the city every time. I doubt I will make it off the metro before handing it off. And dont worry safety never takes a holiday.
