Seriously, storage is so cheap
Can you let Tim Cook know that?
I'm an Apple fan, but the money they charge for internal storage is ridiculous, especially given that I can buy an external SSD with 2 TB for like $150 if I shop around a bit.
something about 'AI' seems to have caused people who should have known better to just ignore precautions
The cynic in me wants to say that they see "intelligence" and go "great, it has something I don't, let's just 100% trust it".
The social critic in me wants to say that it's due to the gigantic hype about AI and how it'll revolutionize everything, replace everyone and solve all problems.
And the tech/security guy in me wants to say "doh, people do dumb shit. What else is new?"

Pointing out projection is not a substitute for an argument, and neither is doubling down with insults. If the issue is correlation versus causation, then the discussion should stay on mechanisms and evidence, not on sweeping psychological claims about entire groups of people. Otherwise you are doing exactly what you accuse others of doing.

Why did this have to be done in mice at all? If the concern is particle migration, immune activation, and lymphatic transport, there are already in vitro immune cell models, human skin equivalents, lymph-on-a-chip systems, and even observational studies in tattooed humans with biopsies and imaging. Killing animals to show that pigment moves into lymph nodes seems like something we should be trying very hard to avoid at this point.

"Wags" just means wisecrackers or jokesters, often in a slightly sarcastic sense. The original sentence is saying that people on social media are making jokes about the research, not that any specific group is being identified.
Are you giving it positive attention, which is what the researchers wanted?
How come the last time I got professional help I complained how inflation was psychological and then the therapist raised his rates, which I took to be a passive-aggressive way of telling me to kill myself?
Can AI fix slashdot's random bugs?
Just how many innocent mice were killed and autopsied for this "research", just so wags could make jokes on social media?
Just how mentally ill are scientists?
Why are scientists such sadists?
What if Trump decides you're vermin too, and you get locked in cages and experimented on?
How come I get randomly logged out? Why does the notifications icon randomly not send me to the notifications page (sometimes I press on it dozens of times and it does nothing)? Why does the refresh button not even appear when coming back to the front page after a pause? Is slashdot using vibe coding, or do I just blame this on human slop?
