Ideally you’d weightlifting a few days a week and do cardio in a few days. So it’s not an either or.

You probably should test your fake scenarios before making claims on how what llms do.

Why is it that almost every time someone makes a claim it turns out wrong when tested

A human requires sleep the update their mental model to use that learning years later.

Take a human and prevent them from sleeping after covering a fact then years later they won’t know it.

If you want data to train a Llm, you might want human data for specific parts vs Llm.

I guess that’s the dead internet theory. People are trying to train llms using mt, but just training on itself.

I think the key thing is to make people aware of the consequences of their choices. If people are completely aware of how much they are fucking up their life fine, that’s on them. Many people don’t realise just how much of a big impact it has. Is not just physical health. For mental health nothing beats exercise.

I’m pretty sure other experts are also saying that it’s due to a different way of measuring levels.

I had a product where I was doing accountancy ratios and it’s not that simple since you have lots of different source data to use and it was such a nightmare to combine everything in the right way. Ai did that easily. Also writing code to extract unstructured data was a few hours vs weeks of work.

That’s wrong. Only if the studies are powerful enough and are looking at the right stuff can you make any reasonable conclusions.

If the studies are powerful enough then that absolutely isn’t evidence of absence at all.

I’m not sure what this has to do with capitalism. You get as bad or even worse under other systems.

Therapeutic index of fentanyl is much higher than heroin or morphine, but I don’t think people really think that it makes it safer.

Healthy and whole foods are a different thing. A healthy diet would have so much fiber that 5k Fritos be near impossible

No with the fiber that’s perfectly fine. The slow release of sugar is perfectly fine. Obesity is the main risk for insulin, fast release sugar is bad for insulin via obesity not on its own.
