hiking was always one of my favorite things to do
now i realize its because its an excellent way to do two other things I love: thinking and conversation
when i play the piano i feel some tones and harmonies are better and some worse
i have no intellectual understanding why this is - im sure math and music theory can explain it
but i dont need an explanation.. it is self evident in my experience without words and analytics
@ars_stef post more of what you are doing
instead of just the numbers
for example the short form video, how did it go?
why do you want to grow on x in the first place tho?
@jamessinka@paulg also curious about this.

Sci-Hub is an evil website that pirated 85M+ research papers and made them freely available

a hundred thousand misguided PhD's are systematically making it more addictive

- Wow, feeling great, it’s so convincing!
- Fun idea let’s ask it to argue the opposite.
- LLM demolishes the entire argument and convinces me that the opposite is in fact true.
- lol
The LLMs may elicit an opinion when asked but are extremely competent in arguing almost any direction. This is actually super useful as a tool for forming your own opinions, just make sure to ask different directions and be careful with the sycophancy.
