  • If AI was solely being used to advance scientific progress in exponential steps as it has for things like protein folding, I suspect these outlets would be all for it.

    This isn't the primary driver of capital investment in AI, though. AI is booming mostly because corporate executives see it as a way they can get the fruits of skilled labor without paying for it. I don't have any more way of knowing these particular leftist organizations' reasons than you do, but my assumption would be that their perspective is that AI in this context is literally the most powerful tool the bourgeoisie have ever had to exploit workers - one where the end goal is to not even need the workers anymore. You couldn't design something more perfectly antithetical to leftist values than this application for generative AI, as it is created by using the owned products of others' skilled labor to make it possible for the owner to remove the worker from the equation. Copyright and IP law is a weapon to combat that.

    Edit - typos

  • Skin color is directly related to latitude. Darker skin means more melanin, which absorbs more light and protects against sunburns and thus skin cancer.

    Eye color factors are less confidently known, but darker eyes generally have a better time in bright daylight.

    Regarding those two, it's also worth mentioning that the Inuit people don't follow those patterns, as while they have less sunlight, they also have to deal with reflected light off the snow.

    Hair texture is like eye color in that we're only mostly confident, but tight curls also probably protect from the sun.

    It's also been posited that epicanthic folds might help against freezing winds, but there's no real evidence for that.

  • I've found that 99.99% of my spam comes from emails with weird extensions - .xyz, .world, .shop, .best, etc. - so I've gotten a significant amount of relief in getting a mail client that lets me block entire domain extensions (BlueMail mobile).
