Speak for yourself haha. Unconscious and unexamined behaviors hardly constitute a value system.

I love graphics like this. Very nice aesthetic choices.

Yes.

You can either have a conversation free of contradictions or a conversation about the truth,, can't have it both ways!

Being mindful is sage advice. But equating some repetitive task with meditation is the same as equating riding a bicycle with deep REM sleep.

All the things you describe can be meditative after one has experienced a meaningful glimpse. But the only way to initially get such a meaningful glimpse is through seated meditation.

Rather casuistic take, there.

Copyright law was updated in a very helpful way in the last twenty years sometime so that as soon as you post something to the internet you have copyright. If you need a citation don't hesitate to ask someone else.

Isn't "which one is watermarked?" a different question than "which one is better?"

"Which diamonds are shinier, the blood diamond sourced ones or the ethically sourced ones?" ... that's not the same question as "which diamonds are blood diamonds" (to employ an extreme analogy)

Concluding that no one could detect which ones were blood diamonds because they were "equally shiny" is not really correct now, is it?

Very intelligent people need intelligent-others to bounce ideas off of, and the LLM can be that.

What's gonna be a real trip, is when you can tell which LLM produced it by the subtle pattern recognition you'll have developed to catch the watermarks

Reminds me of Austin Powers:

21! Blackjack,

"Hit me!"

I do really appreciate tranquil posts about immersing oneself in actual life, like this one. But as a long-term meditator I have a duty to inform everyone that doing something is not meditation.

it's The Economist. What used to be a stellar publication is not any longer, since they are superfluously economical on both details and calories-required-to-comprehend an article.
