Nothing yet beyond just 2026

To be fair I looked into the pretentious fashion company behind this and they sell small bags for like >$600 so I guess this is kind of a bargain if you’re into that world

Ooh how is the clear protein? I saw it once but never tried it, is it goopy still like a regular powdered shake?

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

Checking your work with a calculator is just making sure you pressed the buttons correctly, possibly running through the process a second time if it’s important enough.

“Checking your work” with an llm is literally just doing the thing you should have done initially when you wanted the answer you were looking for. Involving the llm at all is a totally nonsensical waste of time

Iirc this bug was crucial for the act 2 skip

Thank you for sending signals!

Keep preaching!! How do I get involved??

I’d meet in the middle if we could just be done with it once and for all

I think the post is very logical. We must consider what the barrier to healthcare access actually is for some women.

Right so suppose access to healthcare is easy by default, and in fact is only being caused to be difficult by the direct efforts of a malicious state.

In this case, the state is now expending resources on making women’s lives difficult. They’re doing their job well, it’s just that their job is evil and was assigned by evil people. The post now logically compares the relative ease of doing two things the state is actually against

The point is organizing a >100 million dollar jewel heist is typically considered to be a grandiose effort seen only in movies, yet the nonchalant and timely manner in which it was executed was more similar to walking into a pharmacy for basic supplies.

…which is how easy access to reproductive care should be, yet in many places women need to go to far more extreme lengths

Thank you for creating my engagement!

which is why you’re getting argued with

What an interesting way of phrasing why you personally felt the need to make it into an argument rather than simply a discussion of a point that may need clarification.

Also interesting that “what I said” is totally different from your summary. I stand by what I said. I don’t know why anyone would assume the researches comparing protein sources in this hypothetical would bafflingly allow the control group to consume less protein. Regardless, now that the clarification has been provided, do you have any interest in the topic? Or are you just in an arguing mood today?

Correct, and my assumption is they would perform even better if they were given that protein from food rather than from supplements

Notably, they would need to do that, otherwise the study would just be comparing higher/lower protein intake and not protein sources

Typically studies equate protein intake

My assumption is the non-supplement group would actually perform better. Actual food has tons of other nutrients the body uses for countless other tasks that are directly and indirectly related to muscle building

Came from very little. Running the dish washer, laundry, cleaning the shower, putting food in my cart. All of it fills me with a powerful gratitude, every time. Might come a day when I miss doing it, you know?
