So only above average jerks can turn it on?

Journalists who join the programs (and they should be allowed to join multiple programs from multiple companies) agree to publish new, well-written articles on a regular basis, in exchange for some level of financial support. It should be abundantly clear that the AI companies have no say over the type of journalism being done, nor do they have any say in editorial beyond the ability to review the quality of the writing to make sure it’s actually useful in training new systems.

• Who gets to decide who is a "journalist"
• Do you want well written but obviously "wrong" information to be supported? To give an extreme example, David Icke writes pretty well, he's just wrong. Personally I don't have an issue with a few "swivel eyed loons" being supported by something like this, but a lot of people will, and you would need some way to stop them becoming the majority.
• The opposite of that is how you stop the AI companies simply claiming reporting they don't like is poorly written

the country has a strict class system

Yanks pretending their country doesn't have a class system on the internet has to be one of my favourite delusions.

DMCA ignored hosting is a thing. Usually run out of countries like Russia I think.

Shrinkflation strikes again

Print the videos onto film. Modern film can last pretty well.

Usually if a community doesn't load the first time, I just refresh the page and it loads.

Measuring cups (special cup and fractional cup sized cups) are pretty convenient.

Although it's worth bearing in mind that a US cup is 240ml, an Imperial (British) cup is 284ml and a metric cup is 250ml.

Ah okay, thanks, I don't use Instagram.

Ah, okay, I misunderstood what you meant by "The way in which they dismissed the evidence was notably the exclusion of double blind studies." I thought you meant they had excluded studies for being double blind, which would obviously be quite weird.

It's frustratingly common in mental health (which gender dysphoria is still officially considered) for regulators to demand double blind studies, no matter how strong the evidence from observational studies is.

I'd have to look at their exact rationale to know for sure why they excluded those studies.

Unfortunately disproportionately high standards for evidence isn't a new thing in the UK medical establishment though, NICE's recent rejection of ketamine for depression was pretty shaky IMO.
