Some of this is definitely social media use and short-form content consumption. My working memory improved significantly when I limited social media consumption and started reading instead. I personally haven't smoked weed in over 5 years.


Companies and even the US military are starting to wake up to the fact that they miss out on a lot of high quality talent by rejecting employees based on traits like their appearance, sexuality or even their lifestyle in this case.

At the end of the day companies just want to know whether you can perform the job they are asking for. If yes, then there shouldn’t be any issue.


I don't know why you're attributing malice on his part when it's far more likely that he's suffering from some sort of mental health issue.


Poor mental health and deliberate antisocial behavior that you could call malicious often go hand in hand. It's not very clear to me over the internet here whether he's having a laugh behind an act, making some calculated move for self-gain, really perceives what he's done as good and true, or even whether he sees it as socially good somehow despite being an act. It could be malicious behavior, it could be unhinged, it might be both, but I doubt it's neither.


I don't think believing a conversation AI to be sentient is a mental health issue. More an effect of lacking insight. In context of people praying to some tree spirit it almost seems rational again.


You can already do this if you're logged into google

I have geeksforgeeks blocked because that site is a complete pile of garbage


I am logged into google and don't see such an option. How do you achieve that?


How? I thought they did away with this feature a decade ago.
