Single payer is good but it doesn’t solve the problem of really sick old people running up the bill for everyone. I don’t even see what the way out is. Really old people that are subjectively classified as irrecoverable have to get private insurance on top of single payer maybe otherwise you get cut off. That subjective decision maker will get called a “death panel” though. Someone’s got to make some hard decisions somewhere.

I hate texting. So much fiddling with the fingers for something I could say in 30 seconds face to face/over the phone.

Stable diffusion’s model still won’t do pornography, hate speech etc. right? I’ve only run it using DreamStudio.

I’m completely onboard with chatGPT’s “moralizing”. It may be an unpopular opinion but it’s a better experience and keeps the riff raff out.

I guess monetizing chatGPT should be simple, I would pay a monthly subscription for it in a heartbeat. Are there any competitors at this point that can match its performance? How hard would it be to replicate?

OMAD (one meal per day) genuinely works with the only caveat being that you need to make sure you’re getting all your nutritional requirements for the day. This means having a larger single meal and taking multivitamins for me. Also I avoid all processed foods, especially processed meat. I’ve been doing it for two years now.

Anecdotal tip. It’s next to impossible to drop from daily to weekly. It has to be way more infrequent- like biannual for you to not fall back into daily usage.

This probably not the right place to post this but on a tangent- is nihilism intrinsically bad? It seems like the most logical thing, nothing has meaning and everything just is.

I don’t think that means anything though. Doom the game is not a Turing complete programming language. You could write doom in the underlying C and then have it run on a screen in game but that still wouldn’t be doom running doom.

In fact now I’ve confused myself, what would constitute doom running doom?

Wouldn’t having a propane burner on 24 hours a day be very expensive?

Also, does it really make that much of a difference? I feel like after a couple of hours with a fresh batch you could be right back where you started without really missing out on too much.

Don’t be silly. There’s no way to do a writing course without extensively writing about a prompt.

With chatGPT just plug it in and out pops your finished essay.

You have learnt nothing besides some minor comprehension skills.

Same with programming courses. It will answer all basic coding prompts. You cannot learn by just reading through a solved solution no matter how much you want to make the case for it.

You protect them by not giving them a smart phone. My daughter is 2 and she hasn’t seen a screen yet.
