<p>Vert true, there's still a lot of small communities forming.<p>Even if you go on like Reddit if you post certain things in certain subs you'll get invited to private subs talking about whatever niche topic.<p>Same with Discord, lot of small communities there.</p>

<p>Very true, the whole point of logic and programming is that language is itself subjective and vague.<p>A deterministic program given the same inputs will always give the same outputs.<p>We can debate about what is cool, cold or freezing but a thermometer will present the same numeric value to everyone.</p>

<p>The elephant in the room here is how you ethically get people to onboard without an existing community / fomo / money.<p>The trick is getting the content creators there, but most of them are ultimately and fairly interested in making money, and your new platform wont have that for them.<p>Bluesky has done alright, but that was a black swan event Elon Musk inspired.</p>

<p>AI reminds me of early COVID in that it's difficult at times to tell how much it will completely change everything and therefore how concerned to be.<p>And also in the way that it's hard to tell what we as the average people should do to prepare and about it.</p>

<p>I'd agree if you're talking about alternating ramen and cereal, but the diet prescribed here seems pretty reasonable.<p>Good even, in comparison to a lot of people.<p>Either way you can weigh both factors and 90% of diets can be easily and cheaply improved by just adding a hefty dose of frozen veggies to every meal.<p>Plenty of variety these days too, lots of premixed medleys.</p>

<p>Yeah, exactly, it isn't reasoning or creating in the way that humans reason, it's calculating that statistically speaking, when a human says what you said here's roughly what often comes next.<p>It's like debating your political other. You can often predict what they will say not because you understand their reasoning, but simply because you've seen multiple times how they react to a given argument in the past.</p>

<p>This is a pretty privileged perspective.<p>There's also quite a difference between the ethics of healthcare and legal services.<p>Most of the time if you need a legal answer from a lawyer who charges like that, it's because you know you'll net more money from having the answer than it will cost to get a reply.<p>With healthcare, you're not trying to make money you're just trying to live.</p>
