- embedding-shape 11mo agoRight, but you do realize that sentences can mean more than just the literal meaning it historically had? Christ, we really need reading comprehension classes and ideally poetry classes or something similar, since people are unable to read more than the actual characters today it seems... Seems extra problematic in software/programming circles, maybe we need to add arts classes to science programs too?
