  • I think it’s not drawing the line but rather choosing your battles based on what is realistic for you.

    Right so the main trap that happens is you never allow yourself any stillness (call it whatever you want: rest, calm, acceptance) because there’s always something of urgent importance you think you should be doing.

    But that’s a classic recipe for burnout, and what happens is people crash super hard and then they’re not only doing nothing for the problem that stressed them out in the first place, but everything else in their life suffers as well.

    You can’t carry the weight of needing to take care of your aging parents and work a demanding job and dedicate your life to climate activism and anti genocide activism and voting reform and human trafficking and animal abuse and and and and and…

    You just can’t. The same way you just can’t deadlift a thousand pounds. Accepting that fact doesn’t make you spineless, it just means you know how much your spine can take before it snaps.

    In short: radical acceptance is taking time to read a novel and spend time with your kids even if the world is ending. It’s not an endorsement of ending the world, it’s accepting your limitations and deciding that life is worth living regardless


  • Nice attempt at a copout. Where did I admit anything similar to that?

    My mind can very easily be changed with evidence. The problem with “AI” is all you have is marketing without substance.

    The fact that users are wasting their time and ending up confidently ill informed is why I consider it worse than worthless. Literally every study indicates that people are less efficient when they adopt the tech (even the people who incorrectly self report that their numbers are better lmao). Companies across the board are failing to get ROI on this. The results speak.

    So yes, I am unfortunately not interested in wasting all day on an endless string of improvised hypothetical situations written from the perspective of LLMs being great and then working backwards from there. It’s fruitless and irrational


  • I would actually take it a step further and say it’s worse than useless tbh.

    What good is it to have a summary generated about night clubs when literally zero of the details generated can be presumed accurate? Like it will just full on ass pull basic details even down to the hours of operation. This constant confident misinfo actually harms your process.

    you were going to go through them 1 by 1 anyway

    And furthermore, we’re ignoring the fact that no, you were not. Nobody in the history of time has ever run a detailed comparative analysis on a massive list of nightclubs in their area for the purpose of optimizing their night out. You just look at the map for whatever’s gonna be cheapest to uber to and quickly check the reviews lol. Or more likely someone in your group started out wanting to check out a specific place, and that’s that.

    The mere concept of employing AI in this instance was delivered to you by a marketing firm. That’s the bread and butter of these companies: pretending a trivial, routine task that we’ve performed without friction for many years is actually a large project that justifies investment in and deployment of their bloated expensive product.

    You can go back and forth with me all day trying to contrive different random examples where you think maaaaaybe the AI saves you ten seconds of time if you squint, but in reality people who often use it just waste a bunch of their time floundering and walk away less informed than when they started
















  • You are simply factually mistaken about the nature of herbivores generally. You are also, intentionally or not, engaging in equivocation between the concepts of what is nutritionally required to eat and what is biologically required to function further down the line. You are also engaged in an ongoing adjustment of your argument, apparently just for the sake of argument, without addressing the serious issues with your argument as it was originally presented.

    For these reasons I’m not terribly interested in an ongoing dialogue with you on this topic. It’s simply not a productive use of my time to keep on reading large papers you link to but haven’t read yourself, then correcting the claims you make that the evidence you provide doesn’t support. I also do not feel any need to directly address the false claims you falsely accuse me of making, when my above posts already clearly contradict them. I trust that readers with a genuine interest will be able to navigate these posts without issue, and then delve into the textbooks worth of fully unsimplified research if it strikes their fancy to do so.

    Have a good day
