I concur, treating models as question and answer machines and judging them on recall is meaningless, unless you're measuring quantisation impact on a foundation model maybe.

Yes. And that foodstock is often either processed bycatch from unmanaged fisheries somewhere in the world - or industrial scale processed sardines.

It's a terrible picture almost everywhere you look. The Antarctic krill population is facing a similar decline due to influencer marketing (promoting Krill as a superior omega 3 supplement). Sardines and Krill are the foundation of the
