You know, I find hard to enjoy fiction because I have read so much history. The things that actually happened to real people, the things real people have done... they are just way more incredible and terrible than any one author is capable

Yes it's all about that next paycheck. Churn out whatever drivel you need right? Btw have you noticed how the world is full of crap lately? I wonder why.

Yeah I feel like people have been focusing on getting more, faster compute done. Both software and hardware side. But the hard question of 'what compute should be done' remains the important one.

I'm ambivalent. Often the need to feed myself annoys me because of how often we have to do it. On the other hand, I have notice my mood improves a lot when I take the time to make a tasty meal as opposed to just heat a supermarket meal

So because people don't know how to use it, run it or even build it properly? Do we even know what 'it' is? What does anyone mean when they say 'AI'? A lot of problems start from everyone using the same word but mea

You really seem to be speaking from a place of ignorance here, with all due respect. There's quite a lot we know about nutrition. You may be conflating the whole field with the type of studies that grab the attention of journalists.

I don't think anyone has ever said you should put your life on hold until nutrition science is settled?
