En ny studie påstås bevisa att en massa populära råd på internet vid endometrios nu är bevisade att fungera men studien är en dåligt utförd enkätstudie som egentligen inte svarar på någonting mer än vad som är populärt att testa just nu

#GrindayFriday for this week is TRADING HANDS from the UK and their new EP 'I'm Going Out of My Mind, Does Anyone Want Anything?'
Trading Hands play a wild mix of powerviolence, grind & fastcore. This stuff is FAST, heavy, raw, tons of breakdowns. You can listen to this in no time at all. Blink and you might miss it. Weird, dynamic, I can't get enough. Easily one of my favo…

Ever buy earbuds that are so damn good that you don't understand why anyone would use anything else? I purchased these Shokz earbuds while I was in Tokyo last year, and they seem to just always work (unlike my JBLs).

Let's say you find a really cool forum online that has lots of good advice on it. It's even got a very active community that's happy to answer questions very quickly, and the community seems to have a wealth of knowledge about all sorts of subjects.
You end up visiting this community often, and trusting the advice you get to answer all sorts of everyday questions you might have, which before you might have found answers to using a web search (of course web search is now full of SEI spam and other crap so it's become nearly useless).
Then one day, you ask an innocuous question about medicine, and from this community you get the full homeopathy treatment as your answer. Like, somewhat believable on the face of it, includes lots of citations to reasonable-seeming articles, except that if you know even a tiny bit about chemistry and biology (which thankfully you do), you know that the homoeopathy answers are completely bogus and horribly dangerous (since they offer non-treatments for real diseases). Your opinion of this entire forum suddenly changes. "Oh my God, if they've been homeopathy believers all this time, what other myths have they fed me as facts?"
You stop using the forum for anything, and go back to slogging through SEI crap to answer your everyday questions, because one you realize that this forum is a community that's fundamentally untrustworthy, you realize that the value of getting advice from it on any subject is negative: you knew enough to spot the dangerous homeopathy answer, but you know there might be other such myths that you don't know enough to avoid, and any community willing to go all-in on one myth has shown itself to be capable of going all in on any number of other myths.
...
This has been a parable about large language models.
