Every time I see something about solar's expanding capacity, I imagine a Yeoman farmer in a cowboy hat with straw in his mouth talkin' about farming yer energy.

I mean this is good, because AI generated content is explicitly against the guidelines, however I can't help but think there is some utility to be had with AI and online encyclopedias, and we might be missing out on that.

Of course I'd love for this experiment to be done outside of the main site, and only integrated when it's mature, stable, and proven to be actually useful, but other than that implementation concern, I feel this is something that needs to be explored.

You are welcome. Though seeing your overwhelming openness and good nature in the rest of this thread, I now feel some regret in how I replied to you here.

I addressed but one of your points here and ignored essentially the rest of your reply. A rather myopic one sentence reply to a more nuanced comment.

Sorry to sink to the lowest common denominator, friend. Thank you for making me see this.

Of course you’re right. Food isn’t the whole picture, and no think tank is perfect.

We should evaluate research by the research itself, rather than by the author’s subjectivity credibility alone. The is the point I was trying to make by providing alternative research and adding a little bit of nuance to the reply, but perhaps I should’ve been more forthright in addressing my own bias as well.

The point about politicians is the one I think today most needs. Our public systems don't work when we inherently distrust them. This isn't reason alone to trust, but a bias towards distrust is a pernicious thing for society.

This might be terribly controversial, but I think that even today, even at the highest levels of power, evil is a rare exception, rather than the rule, and we oughta be aware of that.

I now realize this comment may read much more mean-spirted than I intended--not my intention!

This is a great and cool app. I am just joking. Sorry to be an ass.

The main demo video uses the Red Hot Chilli Peppers as an example. A singing app, for learning to sing, and Anthony Kiedis used as the model.

Red Hot Chilli Peppers. Anthony Kiedis.

It's like if you had let Shaquille O'Neal teach you how to shoot threes.

Presumably the agent isn't only reading, but changing the code to conform.

How useful would this be to simply feed to an LLM and say to follow strictly?
