I disagree on your definition of deep structure. We can indeed deep structure, that is my whole point, without it Finnegan’s Wake would be impossible to read. This really is something LLM’s cannot do, at least for now. And if you look at th

> All physical exertion causes pain and discomfort, otherwise it isn't exertion. This is just ridiculous. If this is actually true to ypu, please seek medical care immediately. You might not have long left.

It addresses the point exactly. I doscuss my experience to show I quote know what I am talking about. Any amount of exercise is pnly good for long run if you do it consistently, with enough intensity and for long time. Your 5min ab workout

Yes. I ran a half-marathon few years back when I used to box actively (didn’t compete, but sparred competitors). I woke up early 3 times a week to do 5km run no matter the weather. These days I just lift heavy weights. I think I know every

I suppose that if your muscles grow rapidly, you could call that inflation of some kind? Connection to cancer still unclear though.

There’s even Paralympics in this world. People with disabilities do sports, although obviously it complicates things.

How about you instead of trying to “get away with” as little exercise as possible you found a way to move your body that you genuinely enjoy? One should not optimise away sleep, nutrition and exercise. Yes we live in a ridiculous fitness an

I am no linguist, but I believe this is referred to as surface structure and deep structure. What you describe is a line of text that is grammatically somewhat adequate to pass as readable and you treat all text the same. when we read the t

You know monkeys can swim? Do you know what happens to a monkey 2-6km under the surface? Monkeys can also climb trees, very high. Monkey still no condor, sadly.

If you want to see words form a shape I could point you towards concrete poetry, but I guess there is no point. Joyce wrote Finnegan’s Wake for 17 years and although superficially it seems complete gibberish, trodding through it you find me

I think this is completely misleading. If your employer asks to redact your paper because it ignores relevant research, naturally you want to know what research they are talking about and on what grounds, and also which researches reviewed

There’s a lot of confusion here on what parrots exactly are capable of doing and assumptions how smart they are. I also don’t quite see what you mean by behaviour in respect to LLM’s, possibly “agentic” tool usage? Because I’m fairly certai

This is a false dichotomy. Artificial Intelligence is more of a marketing term type of Hi-Fi or High Definition, ie. being a “suitcase word”[1], ie. it packs various different meanings and phenomena together to the point that without explic
