More Malicious OpenClaw Skills Threaten AI Supply Chain

Reply in thread

this is my thing. Why isn't ai making ideal matches of jobs and canidates instead of both sides saying ai is making it worse. AI appears to be a technology for active enshitification. Don't get me wrong its interesting but I don't see any proof its done anything of substance that is useful (well the llms not the algorithm traditional ai that never got the hyper buzz)

COVID-19 vaccine study that was blocked from CDC journal is published elsewhere

vaccines are not some guaranteed panacea. It basically trains your immune system to fight the infection without actually getting the infection. Its the reason for a variety of symptoms you get from a vaccine because it triggers your immune system so it becomes active. So it relies on the strength of the immune system and how up to date the vaccine is. Variations will be helped by an older vaccine but not as much as it would if it was targeted to the variant. It gives you no more protection than you get from getting the disease (this is a bit debateable but generally true) you just don't have to suffer the actuall consequences of the disease or knock on effects from when it wrecks your body. Add to this that contagious disease is dependent on viral loads. So how much virus you are exposed to. Its why masks are effective even if they are a piec or cloth over your face. Well made and fitting ones that are made of materials that only allow particles below a very small sized get in are much more effective but there is some effectiveness for anything. even a face shield that does not seal the face. Its also why distancing work as someone producing viruses will have them disperse in the air volume in that equilibrium kind of way. Most viruses only survive so long although the time is dependent on media and things like sunlight (uv rays). It does seem crazy someone would get vaccinated and get it 6 times but if they like work in a hospital covid ward and don't mask it would not be surprising (although I find it hard for that scenario to happen). If its an active pandemic and they don't mask and spend every night in a crowded bar and have kids that go to a crowded shool and such. Its possible.
