That would disqualify a lot of the better quality sources and promote low quality clickbait.

I'd much prefer either a paywall bypass, such as archive, in the body or comments. Alternatively a copy of the full text / high quality summary needs to be provided. The rules as provided would for instance disqualify reuters and several investigative journalist papers.

I also think posters who use a non standard source (ie not the well known reuters/ap/bbc/cnn/aljazeera etc) should mention in the text the reach and slant of the source.

Thoughts on psychiatric medication?

When you break your leg they'll reset it and plaster it while it grows back.

When you are in immense physical pain or need surgery, they'll give you painkillers/narcotics.

When you mind is off, they'll give you meds to suppress this so you can become better. There is a conversation to be had about society and if we give too much medication. But the brain is complex and when you are in a depressive spiral, where you contemplate suicide once every 5 seconds, it helps to suppress the fuck out of that so you can heal. speaking from experience there and you can heal

Then there are simply people/disorders which have a changed or disrupted brain chemistry (outside normal variation), if we have medicine to help these people function: we should use it.

No the problem is that LLM keep being shoved into products and processes that are not stored for.

Why the fuck does a fridge need a text-prediction model, or notepad or even google when it isn't useful for fir most basic searches?

It has the economics of a bubble, is making or computing extremely expensive and in most cases degrades my experience. Obviously they are running into a wall.

LLMs used for purpose can be very useful! They will however not lead to AGI.

Much like my underwear doesn't need a Bluetooth connection, so do most of these products not need an LLM.

And we're not even talking about how there are people in jail for a fraction of the piracy these companies committed out that they used peoples private data to train these models. Based on how IP law is wielded against people we should get a payout for every single time an LLM is queried.

But the peril is highest in those first few levels as a strong breeze will kill a level 1 character. I also think it is hard to get a feel for a character if they lack eveything that defines them class-wise imo
