Absolutely. I worked somewhere where we routinely had alarms go off due to botnets swarming us with weird (and obnoxious) massive download tactics (of publicly available user generated content, that is).

If it can be gotten by anyone, it will be gotten by LLM trainers.

It's open to the public. So, many other orgs are certainly doing it anyway.

May as well it's not like they'll be paying for many impressions.

I think I've heard about enough of experts predicting the future lately.

I signed up, out of curiosity but I don't have any friends there that I know about. Kinda like Lemmy, but Lemmy but works great for not having friends.

Now that's just a signal for training reinforcement

This is small potatoes but pretty often I ride my motorcycle to go to green spaces to go for a run. Which means people sometimes see me step off my bike and just start taking off my pants and stuff. (Spoiler: I'm wearing running gear underneath my protective gear.)

Once a day, think of one simple thing that a depressed person would not do. Do that. For some examples:

  • Take even the shortest walk around the neighborhood.
  • Read just ten pages of any book.

Also, think of something that you do especially when depressed, and avoid doing it. For some examples:

  • Don't watch TV
  • Don't scroll on social media

Sometimes habits become compulsive, you can do a lot for yourself by adding even a small amount of friction to doing those things. For some examples:

  • When I notice that I go through periods of poor sleep due to habitually reaching for my phone, I might remove the charger from my phone and put it in a living area and charge it there at night. I might prepare 8 hours of podcasts and connect my Bluetooth before bed so I can have something to take my mind off things in case wake up or cannot sleep.
  • Simply logout of social media sites, so that I'm forced to take a deliberate action to log back in to start doom scrolling again.

For more proactive maintenance things I try to do, which are important to establish when I'm mentally in a good place, I might make a weekly list of happy chores, like make sure I talk to a family member, make sure I talk to a friend, make sure I actually see someone in person, or play a video game in a way that I'm making progress at it, or spend 10 minutes practicing an instrument.

You need to exploit your good times to establish patterns of good habits for your hard times.

I am curious about podcasts with high quality content but that are pretty centered around specific topics like hobbies or particular professions.

For example, there are a handful of ham radio podcasts such as Linux In The Ham Shack.

Tell me about some podcasts that keep you up in your interests or career that wouldn't make sense to share with most people you know.

 

And if you somehow disagree with flushing it down if it is brown, I suppose I would like to hear about that as well.

 

How often do you clean them, and how? Any cautionary tales?
