I hate it when there's politics in my history, especially when it's the history of an emperor (the least political of persons). Woke has gone too far

This looks like an interesting idea, but may be abused by smart prompters. I first asked about the structure of philsci papers and then an example: it didn't write a full paper but wrote a very thorough (~1000 words) outline on the requested topic (which could easily be used to write a paper in GPT)

This description makes me think of ternary plots/simplex plots. They're normally used for 3 variables with some constraint (often a fixed sum). For more variables/more complex relationships, maybe a contour map with multiple sets of isolines could work? (if there are still only 2 degrees of freedom)

He specifies that the group chat is in San Francisco, so perhaps he was in SF in the midst of an actual in-person group conversation about rabbits and got kicked out when someone checked their phone and happened to see his tweet. (This absolutely did not happen, but it is now my headcanon)

This is very interesting! Do you think there is a good reason (e.g., scientific or moral usefulness) to classify these biological responses as (at least tangential to) consciousness? I ask because trees are missing internal representation, which is normally seen as _the_ key aspects of sentience!
