i meant feeding it into cows. i was probably mistyping because i was tired.
llms neither consume nor produce calories, putting them above cows which are net consumers.

none, so it's doing better than cows right now.

there are lots of products i fail to see the point of but i rarely moralise about them

i'm far from convinced that there is, but i don't see why you or i should have any special insight into whether or or not people need it over and above that of the people using it.

nice. i'd like to get a borked espresso machine and a ninja creemi ice cream blender to fix up some day once i have some more space.

(but even the store-brand battery mowers are good enough for suburban gardens these days)

why on earth wouldn't he know about them? there are plenty of hypotheses in the literature about how they fit into predictive processing theory

that approach neatly solves the problem of wealth inequality too. just say that some people live simpler lives than others. who's to say whether that's a good or a bad thing?

how is it connected? a datacentre running protein folding simulations would have the same inputs and outputs as one making facebook jesus shrimp posts.

This is what you have to say when you have no evidence to back up your assertions

that explains how you know that computers don't but do you know enough about how brains work to know that people do?

most of the nitrogen in the food we eat already comes from a haber-bosch plant.

idk if anybody stocks it these days but the uk classic car paint catalogues still list the shade of pink the SAS used to get their 'pink panther' land rovers painted in for desert camo

i never saw one as big and impressive as that. just quaint little towns which happen to be rather well defended against early modern artillery

i'm not belgian but: leuven town hall, preserved trenches at bayernwald near Ieper (check accessibility if mobility is a concern for you), mcdonalds macarons, towns inside star forts (i forget whether they were in belgium or just over the border into zeeland)

indigenous people must have learned the technique of using controlled burns to manage hunting grounds somehow.

you're totally right. it's trump's fake news. i always take a smoke break at the gas station and nothing bad has happened. you should try it sometime.
