Agreed. In my experience it gets to the heart of information faster rather than so much filler. Also better information and more comprehensive in general.

The main issues seem to be glazing that sibling mentions and also it seems to play a bit loser with facts and reality and makes up more stuff.

I have to wonder what the longer term consequences of modifying peoples essential biological drives chemically will turn out to be in the long run.

That isn't to say this might not be the best solution for many people but I still wonder.

I'd rather have a robot that I controlled taking care of me than a person I may not care for and don't control.

Dynamic global variables all interacting. And then a bunch of lurking unknown variables on top of that.

Maybe the burglary jobs will be taken by robots as well.

Wrong. Florida has fairly large cattle industry and it dates back a long time and also has a unique cowboy culture distinct from that of the American West (crackers).

I fully believe this.

I'm an agronomist by training (turned software dev 16 years ago) and worked on a number of kinds of farms early in my career.

I've always gardened but during COVID really ramped it up and grow about 1/3 of my own food.

I grow organically with a full spectrum of minerals in primarily rich diverse compost I make (and buy as needed).

I feel and look better than I did 10 years ago and will be 56 this coming spring. Seriously, I get looks from much younger women when I'm out and it always surprises me because I'm an old man. My skin glows. I have a lot of energy. That didn't happen as much before I started eating like this.

This has caused me to take soil depletion and "growing stuff too fast" very seriously and think it may be the root cause of a lot of problems we see around us.

I learned a lot of what I know by banging my head against the wall.

Knowing these things might not really be needed going forward, but it was a good workout, and I'm grateful I got a chance to go through that even if it becomes largely unnecessary.

Olives are landscape tree in Phoenix Arizona and no one (well very few people) eat the olives.

When the olives ripen and fall, it creates a big mushy mess all over the yard and sidewalks, so there are services that go around and spray olive trees with a growth regulator to prevent fruiting.

I always felt the whole thing was a bit wasteful and they should have been turned into oil but I suppose harvest isn't practical at scale.

It doesn't have to be naked LLMs where you can just ask it for the answer in an educational setting.

Channeled correctly it could be a fantastic educational tool. And will be in my opinion.

The best cuisines in the world don't come from the wealthiest societies. In my opinion.

Extremely capable and one shots large tasks from somewhat vague descriptions. Not AGI, not even close, that is complete nonsense. Just my opinion.
