It’s like oreos. These are the “double stuff” smartphones, haha.

Governments around the world fund cancer research. Cancer charities are among the best funded. There’s a lot of money going into curing cancers.

If you put LLMs in everything, eventually when something good happens, then someone can pretend it was because of the LLM!

Cancer doesn’t get cured by ideas alone, the most demanding part of the job is actually testing the treatments, which takes a huge amount of money, time, and effort. No technology will change the fact that you need to wait 10 years to see if a treatment can prevent the cancer from coming back for 10 years.

Basically plagiarism at this point. Centrists tried to call Bernie Sanders an antisemite ffs. Just power through it, stay on message, don’t give them the time of day.

If only there were signs.

Did I miss something?

Haha got em. This will make a difference!

Study everything. Find interesting ways of combining what I learn in disparate fields and share that with others.

All this over punk art.

If they’re internet connected, sure I would. It’s a matter of trust. If I can’t be around you without Zuckerberg or someone looking at me too, then I don’t want to be around you.

I wish I could turn it off. Just seems unnecessary.

Peer to peer it is.

What if you could have personalized ads fed directly into your visual field at all times?

You know that’s where this is going.

It’s not really student-led if the schools are making them go, is it.

Poor kids. They don’t deserve to be used as a means to an end like this.

I think you’ve pretty much got it. It’s a way to communicate that you’re thinking hard. It helps the speaker know what effect they’re having on the audience - if a lot of people looked confused or bored, the lecturer might adjust their delivery.

Politicians keep passing gas tax holidays too, to keep people happy.

People love to do activities where their efforts and rewards have a strong correlation to each other. Athletics are an activity where hard work pays off. That’s rare at a job.

We elect world leaders who don’t know anything about any of those things. Why shouldn’t a singer or actor use their voice, too? At least they had the discipline to learn a craft.

This is a very broad question. But broadly, I think if you’re an artist, you probably got where you are by sharing your point of view with your audience in an authentic way. If you’re going to let fear of disapproval stop you from doing that, you might as well quit anyway.

Maybe try to find people to study with. Preferably from your class, but even setting up a few hours a week with any other students to have coffee together and just read in a quiet space can help you stay on task. Make use of your library and treat it like a job.

People spend too much time doing everything in the same physical space, and having books downloaded on devices doesn’t help at all. How is your boring textbook supposed to compete with the universe of more attractive activities on your computer? Create an environment for yourself that facilitates study. Structure your life around it.
