It’s a joke, but I’m 43 and my mom knew others who were pregnant around the same time and told to smoke by actual doctors so they’d have a smaller baby and easier birth.
My grandmother started smoking after her doctor suggested that she take it up in order to help her lose weight after pregnancy. She smoked the rest of her life.
On a related note, I also wonder I wonder how many older people self-treated ADHD/ADD with nicotine without realizing what was going on.
That sounds like a joke from the doctor that the patient missed
I doubt it, shit was different in 1980, doctors smoked in their offices until the 90s.
Never forget just how evil tobacco companies are that they knew how addictive and damaging it was but suppressed it up for decades.
I remember the big arguments about enacting a no smoking rule in meetings at work. Just the meeting rooms. It was of course presumed that people could smoke in their office.
I’m 41 and my mom didn’t quit but the doctor talked her into cutting down to a couple a day.
edit-also i was 10lbs and ended up the tallest in my family lol
Doctors still do this, at least in Germany. When you’re a smoker and getting pregnant, your doctor will most likely not try to bully you into quitting, instead they inform you about the risks and recommend you to cut down the smoking to a minimum but they will also acknowledge that you will most likely not overcome your addiction while your body is already under a lot of stress.
Happy cake day!
It’s not like AI is a legally defined term anywhere (that I’ve head of). Surely someone will end up suing google for things like this.
I know a dude who’s a retired doctor specializing in sports medicine (he was the team doctor for a Big 10 college football team), and he smokes like a chimney. He likes to joke that he’s the 1/10 doctors that they don’t quote on TV ads
Knowledge cutoff: 1963
This is actually healthy. My dad smoked much more than that during my pregnancy and I turned out fine.
If you actually came from your fathers anus, I’d say you are absolutely right.
Cool another lie AI-bad post
Generative AI is not deterministic. The same input doesn’t necessarily mean the same output every time.
I realize that, but if every one of these posts isn’t reproducible it’s likely that’s because they’re bullshit.
Ps. Thanks for the downvotes people. Make sure to say your daily curses against all AI because it BAD
Nope, this was real.
Google’s new search AI did many errors at release. This can be found online and include but not limited to:
- It’s normal for cockroaches to live in someone’s penis
- You should mix some glue while preparing a pizza
- Overcoming depression is done by jumping off the Golden State Bridge
- You should eat one small rock daily
This was fixed manually per search topic that got viral, but they probably changed its configuration by now to trust reddit amd 4chan comments less.
Nope, this was real.
Source? Some of these were real, but there’s also a ton of fake bullshit floating around.
What is it with Lemmy users and not knowing what shitposting is…
Probably has to do with it not being defined except for being confusing and possibly enraging
Would posting any other lie be a “shitpost”?
It’s in the shitpost community, it’s like a textbook shitpost…
When you watch TV do you say the actors are liars because they’re not actually the characters?
It’s supposed to be stupid and ridiculous.
Yeah because when I watch TV the only expectation I have is for the actors just to state falsehoods /s
Apparently according to people like you, this community should’ve just been named falsehoods
I also hate it when I find shitposts in my shitpost community.
Right shitpost just means shitty post without anything clever or funny about it /s
This is a textbook shitpost and the people getting mad about it is more evidence that it’s a shitpost.
Check which subcommunity you’re in.
Despite what you all think, shitpost doesn’t just mean “shitty post”.
Alright, we get it. AI is dumb. Can we stop with this low effort bs?
No we can’t. Why would we? It needs to be shown so it can be widely known.
Why is this always the reaction by AI advocates when faced with major problems in AI?
If you want to convince people that AI can potentially be a benefit and not a negative then denial is not the way.
This kind of hasty implementation of AI by tech bros should absolutely be ridiculed, since it has real world consequences.
