None of it is free, what are you talking about? It is very much earned. Free means you didn’t do anything to get something. Ever been shot at before?

I have never understood this. If everyone is educated, who is going to collect your garbage, fix your car, replace your broken pipe in the wall, cut down the rest of the tree that fell across the street, stock your groceries, sell you fast

> Because that's where Americans come from - the educated and acculturated sons and daughters of immigrants who came bearing all manner of prejudice. This is a phenomenal example of a non-sequitur argument.

> LLMs are a tool, still under development, still early in the curve… I completely agree, they are a tool, and a decently useful tool. They are not early in the curve, they’re about flat at this point.

Wow, I really struck a nerve huh? I have no idea what point you think you just made. I hope you also have an excellent rest of your day, take care.

I believe we are, at best, talking past each other. I don’t have the desire or energy to restate my points, given your response. I hope you have an excellent rest of your day, take care.

It just doesn't matter. People who use creatine understand how it works and what the purpose it serves. Read the rest of this thread for anecdotes. Study it to death, I care not. If I had research money, I wouldn't use it to kick

Given the glaring reproducibility crisis in the scientific community, creatine seems the wrong focus at the moment.

I use a delivery service that packages the food and the recipe in a box. The recipe is 1 page long, on thick paper, and I have used it as temporary food storage when the cutting board gets too full. Works like a champ. Pictures and everythi

This has been known for ~15 years. I'm not sure what this study thought it was debunking.

I hear you and appreciate your point, I just don’t think they’re for me. Maybe when my kids are grown. Scary does t begin to describe what happens, the amount of energy is mind-boggling.

I experienced a 400v DC lithium ion battery catch on fire once, it was very scary. That fire extinguisher won't do much at all, even if it is placed in a more logical spot. The firemen ended up putting the battery, half melted, into a

Sorry, I did not mean to be disingenuous. My skepticism came through in my tone. I think LLMs are a valuable tool, and will continue to grow in different ways. I can even imagine a scenario where the right series of prompts gives someone a

I think you’re overthinking it. I’ve been talking to my kids like they’re just normal people since they were born. “Oh how old are they, 5? Nope, just turned 3. They speak so well!” shrug The second language must be biasing you somehow, i

I have the same knack with kids, I’ve had it forever. “Oh you’re going to be such a good parent” was something I heard constantly. It’s different when one’s own kids, and it takes extra patience to have the same skill set as you do with “st

I will always struggle with calling an LLM “AI” as if it somehow has any intelligent thought whatsoever. We don’t have AI. We aren’t particularly close to AGI. This effort has about reached the top of the S-curve.
