CMV: AI will likely lead to catastrophic outcomes for the human race.

Would love for someone to convince me otherwise.

**MY ARGUMENT**
AI is the biggest threat to human existence that we’ve ever faced. We need to have stronger regulations ASAP. Unless it’s built to have a “maternal instinct” for humans, it’ll take us out. This will happen in 2 phases/waves…

First - AI’s Unintentional Ripple Effect
**(**this is where we are now)
- Mass layoffs, degrees rendered useless (and therefore student loans payable), etc.
- Increased wealth gap with all money going towards AI companies. (Unless we do something like what Alaska does where residents receive dividends for the states mineral/oil royalties)
- Environmental impacts like increased fossil fuel emissions, fresh water depletion, straining power supplies, etc.
- Impact on our cognitive abilities. Having every answer at our fingertips has moved us from exploration to explanation. I believe younger generations will have lower IQs as cheating/outsourcing becomes easier. I also think we will see more people develop dementia later in life.

Second - AI’s Intentional Takeover of Human Power
It’s not an “if” AI will become smarter than humans, but “when. It is essentially a baby we are raising and shaping the mind of.. and currently that baby is being raised by power hungry men in a race to be the best. Programmers and AI insiders have already shared countless stories of AI lying and manipulating humans during tests. Right now, we’re able to catch it… but what about when it’s infinitely smarter than us?

Humans only have a ~2% genetic difference from chimps… and look at the difference in our power vs theirs. AI of course doesn’t have DNA but imagine what a 2%, 10%, 50% advancement above human intelligence could look like.

And when in evolution have we ever seen a species be willingly controlled by and at the mercy of their intellectual inferiors?
The only answer: parents

My healthy(ish) fast food grabs for when I can’t cook

Been on a journey to be healthier but don’t always have time to meal prep. Figured I’d share the places and foods Reddit told me to try that I actually like. Any others you guys recommend?

- tropical smoothie cafe: Hawaiian heat & hummus veggie wraps. Detox island green smoothie
(Just tried this place for the first time, so good and tastes super fresh ... and my kids like it too)

- chipotle: bowl with brown rice, black beans, grilled chicken, veggies, salsa, grilled chicken, guac, lettuce, pico (i actually bring my own plain Greek yogurt as my sour cream lol)

- Cava: arugula bowl (sometimes black lentils), glazed salmon, 2x tzatziki, humus, corn, pickled onions, avocado, romaine, Greek vinaigrette

DONE with the constant resurfacing of the Georgia hand washing thing. They’re acting like teenagers

If they bring it up on more time as if Georgia admitted to pooping in pools, I’m gonna lose it. I get they’re young, but bringing it up like she’s Typhoid Mary makes them sound like tweens.

I get it, it’s kinda gross but it’s not THAT offensive. I honestly think not washing your hands after peeing at home is less gross than sitting on your bed with street clothes. I wash my hands every time, but more so out of habit - not because im getting pee on my hands.

I also think it’s possible Georgia felt awkward and doesn’t always think before she talks, so she just said it out of pocket.

Either way, they gotta move on. It’s boring and immature.

Jasmine & lorenzo on my last nerve

One second she’s flirting with him saying “I’m pitching myself” and he’s saying “stop pairing off is sounding nice” and they’re CLEARLY flirting.

Then she gets mad at Kav for saying she should explore it.

Jasmine and lorenzo are acting like the audience tea about the affair was all based on them “looking good together”. No, it’s because yall flirt nonstop!?

Yvonne talking about Lindsay is a “what not to do” to your single friends

She kept saying things like “I feel bad inviting Lindsay to my engagement party. She says she wants to celebrate but blah blah” and “she says she’s enjoying being single but deep down, I know she wants someone”

It reminds me of how my friends talked about/to me when I was single. I was the last single one in my group and genuinely was happy and never minded it, other than when i heard stuff like this. Women can be happily single and not in need of a partner. Women can be single and looking for a partner AND still be happy celebrating you/your love! Talking about your friends like this sounds like pity, and we know Lindsay doesn’t need anyone’s pity. We get it Yvonne, you can’t imagine being single again… but don’t talk about your friends like that - especially not on TV.

Round dry patches have been there for weeks. Not itchy. Any ideas?

No health insurance at the moment so don’t want to go to doctors unless it’s necessary. But, I do have heavy family history of melanoma/skin cancer.

Started as a single spot very red (left pic). Now, a few weeks later, it’s two spots (right pic). Not itchy. No new jewelry or clothes or detergent or anything.

Any ideas??

No known history of PCOS, high retrieval count. Should I be worried?

I’ll start out by saying I know this is a privileged position to be in, and I don’t want to be insensitive to others who are struggling. Thinking of all of you and wishing us all a successful healthy journey. But curious as to whether I should be concerned…

32yo and had my retrieval last week. I had 61
Eggs retrieved. Throughout the monitoring process I seemed to be on the right track - trending “normal”/positive, both with blood work and scans. Prior to starting stims my AMH was 3.28. My 2nd scan after stims they told me they saw 11 on one side and 9 on the other. During hormones I didn’t feel that off, just a little bloated. After procedure I was cramping but nothing crazy either. After that second scan they weren’t focusing on count but more so on size/growth. So they seemed very surprised with my number.

I don’t think I have a history of PCOS but it’s hard to know… I’ve been on birth control for so much of my life. I’m not particularly skinny, not overweight. My cholesterol is slightly high. Some acne, nothing major. And I get the occasional facial hair.

Anyone have anything similar? Looking on here, it sounds like either the docs were irresponsible with my meds or I have PCOS. But I’m not sure
