Not saying that the current civilizations will never end or be shattered to pieces. Looking at history, many civilizations did. But saying LLMs are the highest risk factor for this is just insanity, based on all what we have seen so far (an

Sure, the chance of this happening is non-zero, but in my opinion a far cry from this doom scenarios that are propagated by people have a stake in making the public think that LLMs are the most important and dangerous thing in the world. It

Sure, and this has nothing to do with hyping up AI so that Anthropic can raise more money.

OpenAI has been saying since the first version of ChatGPT that it's too dangerous to release because it will end humanity. Yes, LLMs are an impressive technology, but let's be real: the improvements in the recent months have been

> Define healthier, and link the studies. Well, why are people who are afraid of a long ingredient lists (without understanding what the ingredients actually are) and just blurt out that vegan meats are unhealthier not asked the same?

Thanks for the comment, means a lot and speaks for you to be open minded and try out new things and update your assumptions <3. Certainly, the offering of plant-based meat and cheese alternatives have improved significantly in the past 5

Hmm not sure. Depends on how well it is prepared. But yes, I said, there are much better brands. But the question was specifically about what's availabe in India, which I have no cllue about.

This just proves you don't have a lot of knowledge about food. First of all, there are many studies that show that plant-based meat alternatives are healthier than their meat counterparts. Just because a food is processed doesn't

I'm only familar with the brands in Germany unfortunately. You might have Beyond Burger available in India — not my favorite vegan burger patty, but I think it's good enough.

> Waiting for good lab grown meat to become cheap. This is a cop out. There are plenty of excellent plant-based meat alternatives that I'm sure you couldn't tell the difference in a blind test.

You can separate the art from the artist in the sense that you can say "ok, this is a cool tech", but by using it, you are still supporting the nazi artist.

Yes, I'm sure it's possible to get LLMs to respond more like an average human would.

A lot of basic research (including medicinal) is funded by governments who are not in it to make a lot of money. Sure, medical companies who then develop drugs based on this decades of knowledge and research are profit-oriented, but that&#x

Fundamentally, housing should not be a free market area that is profit-driven. Housing, like energy, food, healthcare and public transport is a basic need. Therefore, government policies making sure people with lower income can still get ho

No we shouldn't. Nuclear waste is not and will never be solved. Nuclear meltdowns are real. Also, nuclear is more expensive than wind and solar.
