It depends on what you're hosting.
If this is a big site that experiences a lot of traffic, You should already have more than a single Web server anyway. If this is a website for a school or an organization, You really should have a load balancer and a couple web notes. In that situation upgrading and rebooting, draining traffic and bringing it back in, is fairly trivial.
If this is a home server, where you're the only real user, just reboot it.
Some distros like Ubuntu are better about fixing the security issues without requiring rebooting, but if it's a home web server the uptime is really not important.
Is actually one of the most important factors when it comes to climate change right now.
Think about how many tons of carbon have been released by fighters bombing hospitals, and tanks tearing up roads in refugee camps. As bad as a coal power plant in China is for the climate, at least it is producing a tangible good, and is part of a greater mission to uplift people, improve their standard of living, on the path to zero emissions. We have burned millions of tons of carbon, with Israel, for the sole purpose of ethnic cleansing.
I'm much prefer Terry Pratchett's depiction of witches. Practical women, with a good sense to know that a little bit of "headology" goes quite far, and any real magic is too much of a bother to actually use. That convincing someone you've put a curse on them is far more effective than actually putting a curse on them.
Do you really want to summon seven generations of ancestors to fix someone's broken arm? Or do you want to put splint on it, wave your hand and mumble, so that the patient thinks that you've cast some spell of healing, and tell them to keep it in a sling for a few weeks?
East Palestine is in Ohio. West Palestine ends somewhere in the Rockies.
You're right, but in addition I hate to think about the sheer tonnage of CO2 that has been burned by a year of fighter jets dropping bombs and tanks rolling through refugee camps.
And that's before we even talk about the long-term effects of that much lead and depleted uranium sitting in the ground.
If she did this, she would earn my vote.
But the CIA would assassinate her the next day.
A child's death being exploited with a clickbait title to drive revenue. And y'all are clicking on the goddamn link.
Conversely just because something's a factor does not mean it's an important one, or absent it something else would not have taken it's place.
I'm done engaging with you. You seem intent to accept the framing that some ghoulish liberal editor has decided that you should accept.
The saddest part about this, we wouldn't know about this boy at all, if there wasn't an interesting hook that could be used to farm engagement on social media.
Engagement that they have received from this site after dozens of people have clicked on the link and consumed the ads therein.
Not sure what the point of discussing this is if you're going to put words in my mouth and ignore what I type.
If you read the clickbait article, that again is only a thing because people will engage with any content that includes the words AI, exactly like we are here, his last messages to the chatbot were clearly not someone grappling with a decision, but The words of someone who had already made it.
I don't think it's fatalistic to say that this child had already decided to kill himself. It's plain as day if you read his words.
How you can turn that into a balloon statement for everyone that is depressed, I don't know.
Maybe, in those last moments someone could have changed his mind. Expecting a chatbot to do that, when his own parents not only provided him the means of killing himself, but watched for weeks while he slowly and desperately grappled with this mental illness, is counterproductive at best. Expecting a chat bot to intercede in the last moments and provide this child with a will to live, when his teachers, his classmates, silently watched him descend into the darkness, is counterproductive.
Society, my society, killed this child. I will not let someone blame the new fad in technology, I will not let you take this child's blood off of my hands, so that we can blame a fancy Markov chain instead. We, all of us, failed this child and the thousands like him every year.
Any attempt to blame this suicide on technology, is just a fancy way of absolving society of the guilt that it should feel over the social murder that it perpetuated.
A social murder, that we only know about because it involves AI. Because some editor decided to use this suicide to drive traffic to their website, they knew that people will engage if he implies a chat bot encouraged the child to kill himself. And he was right. He gets to collect ad revenue, off the corpse of this young child. And we all get to pay him our blood money, after clicking on the article and reading it.
