I don't mean formal multiple drafts. Even just editing bits, moving stuff around. I guess some people can type out a 5,000 word assignment linearly from start to finish in 2 hours at 40wpm but that's both incredibly rare and easy

No, a genuine doc will have a drafting process. You'll edit and change weak parts, etc. I guess you could use AI to guide this, at which point it's basically a research tool and grammar checker.

In 100 years time they will be so fried by AI they won't be capable of being shocked. Everyone will just be swiping on generated content in those hover chairs from Wall E.

A later comment notes that it works well for some patients and not others. The argument is that drugs probably don't fix things very well unless the cause is mostly just bad brain chemistry. Some people have bad brain chemistry, others

Here's part of a meta analysis. > Using a random effects model, we found that CBTs had medium-to-large effects from pre- to posttreatment (self-reported ADHD symptoms: g = 1.00; 95% confidence interval [CI: 0.84, 1.16]; self-reporte

Not true. CBT works pretty well for adhd, studies are clear on this. But medication seems even better, as does a combination of therapy and medication. ADHD isn't unusual as far as the effectiveness of therapy, it's unusual in how

Maybe Norway prisons are just really nasty. No drugs, no fights, no conflict with the wardens, just boredom and then solitary confinement if you do anything that's "not OK".

Is it really healthy for people to fret over minor allergies they probably don't even have, and pass that anxiety onto their kids? And can't this behaviour even cause allergies, and cause people with real allergies to be taken les

99% of tourists are like that. No real confidence so they don't wander around and use their own brains. They just go to the top 10 spots chatGPT, tiktok, or some other list dictates. It's like how people go to the Louvre and stand

So you deny that both the US healthcare system and USSR economy are / were bogged down in red tape and regulation, which is clearly my main point? Or you're just mad that I'm using Communism as a punchline when criticising ne

I disagree with the language you use. It was not designed to make money. It was designed to cost less, in the same way the USSR was designed to make workers rich - it simply failed spectacularly. Neoliberals dislike both regulation and publ

That's cynicism. Everything has pros and cons. You haven't said a single pro. You haven't added any real cons to what I said, and made up hypothetical ones. It's a sales pitch so you're saying why you wouldn't

Why is it people here seem so unusually sceptical? It's expensive (but not really, only compared to knives - a $500 GPU isn't expensive). It's probably mostly good in certain niches and using a $10 knife that's sharpened

Yeah, there doesn't need to be a shortage of toilet paper to cause problems, just the fear that panic buying might start so you better stock up before they hit. It's basically a prisoner's dilemma, you know you shouldn't

The strategy is to draw Russia into a protracted conflict where they lose their Soviet inheritance, not scared them off.

As far as I can tell, a lot of therapy is just good common-sense advice and a bunch of 'tricks' to get the patient to actually follow it. Basically CBT and "get the patient to think they figured out the solution themselves (d
