    Yeah, this author is the pop-sci / sci-fi media writer on Ars Technica, not one of the actual science coverage ones that stick to their area of expertise, and you can tell by the overly broad, click bait, headline, that is not actually supported by the research at hand.

    The actual research is using limited LLM agents and only explores an incredibly limited number of interventions. This research does not remotely come close to supporting the question of whether or not social media can be fixed, which in itself is a different question from harm reduction.





  • Dogs are allowed to be off leash, so why is this situation flipped?

    Please cite your source for that, because in the UK, generally, no they absolutely are not allowed to be off leash on city streets.

    And why is there a different standard for cats and dogs? Do I really need to explain that to you? It should be plainly fucking obvious that a loose cat has literally never killed a person, whereas loose dogs regularly kill both people and others’ pets.





  • So they can negligent and let them roam free? Which is illegal in most jurisdictions regardless?

    No, it’s not. It has in fact been explicitly legal for cats to roam free everywhere in the UK since 1971.

    Please cite your source for the regulations of ‘most jurisdictions’.

    Insects don’t care about a bell for one thing, and we already established that it’s not just birds, but insects and vermin the decimate populations of too….

    Insects do in fact have senses of hearing, and we’ve already established that killing rodents is not a problem.

    So, one thing people like you who just decry people trying to educate others about the issues, is they also carry deadly diseases and crap everywhere. If they shit in a garden (which they do it’s giant litter box) they can contaminate that persons food.

    Lmfao, wash your fucking vegetables. Squirrels, groundhogs, racoons, bugs, and other nature exists in your garden too.

    So now that you are educated on the fact that there’s more than just “birds” that are the issue here, your gonna shut the fuck up or at the very least stop insulting people who are more educated than yourself…? Right…?

    Says the guy spreading factually incorrect information about the UK’s laws around cats in a thread about the UK’s laws around cats?

    Maybe you should educate yourself before trying to educate others.


  • Actually check your local jurisdictions law. Most cities ban loose animals (cats), which is why it’s illegal….

    Nope, some just require them to be registered / have a license, and in the UK, you know, the country we’re talking about, cats have had the legal right to roam freely. Since 1971.

    So since youre so confident, why don’t you go ahead and cite your source for “most cities” regulations. Or failing that, why don’t you cite your source for the regulations of the city in the article?

    So you can’t comprehend my point because of your ignorance? That’s what I already thought, thanks for confirming it for everyone else here.

    No because of your nonsense (factually wrong) points. But don’t worry, it’s totally everyone else who is wrong. You could never be wrong. You’re the special boy with special powers.

    A legally off leash dog killed an illegally off leash cat (at large) and you want people to mad at the person who was doing nothing illegal.

    Lol, unlike cats, it is illegal for a dog to be outdoors and off leash in the UK.

    You seem to fundamentally not understand what the laws are around pet ownership in the UK.

    Maybe don’t spew your Americanness everywhere. I know it’s hard for you people to understand, but not every country is in fact America.
