<p>Would you mind providing some examples? I can't say that I'm really up on a lot of psudoscience.<p>A pretty standard bottle of Vitamin D at 10k IU is 60 capsules/pills/whatever. That's a 2 month supply.<p>To hit the toxic eventually (77k IU) you would be going through a 2 month supply every ~7 days.
To hit the acute toxicity in days or weeks (low end 600k), your going through that bottle every day.<p>However, every single time that someone mentions Vitamin D, people jump out of the woodwork about toxicity without ever actually bringing up just how much you have to take as if if you take the 400 IU capsule, going one IU over is going to kill you.  I'm also pretty sure that a specific group of denialists shouldn't be counted as a reason to scream warnings from the mountaintops every time someone  thinks about Vitamin D.</p>

<p>Your own link shows that what is considered toxic levels are far higher than most people would expect. Vitamin D toxicity is not that easy to accidentally hit.<p>Overdose has been observed at 1,925 μg/d (77,000 IU per day). Acute overdose requires between 15,000 μg/d (600,000 IU per day) and 42,000 μg/d (1,680,000 IU per day) over several days to months.</p>

<p>Did you forget dialup was a thing? No one created anything for home users thinking it would be behind some firewall because as said Windows didn't ship with one, and because the dominant way of customers getting online was dialup, giving a public IP to every user.<p>Software was created with no security because no one demanded it because no one cared. Technologies that came later did not create that situation.</p>

<p>And that's your choice.

<p>The AI companies are desperately trying to market all their products as something they're not, growing intelligence. In line with that they have constantly leaned heavily on stating how dangerous they are, right before they release a new model or product.<p>It was OpenAI marketing. Hugging Face's response is so 'holy shit AI is awesome' it's hard not to also believe they were in on the stunt. They'd also not have to really worry about fallout since any data obtained or accessed wouldn't actually have been breached.</p>
