  • I’m taking wegovy, it’s exactly this. I don’t walk into the kitchen and open the refrigerator anymore. I’m building new habits that will stay with me without the drug, and I’m building new daily frameworks around food that I can look back on later without the drug. The change was immediate, in the first week, but building habits takes a while.

    My food addiction stems from having periods of food scarcity in my past and current troubles getting good quality foods. I think it’s something that doctors will be able to dial in later as to which psychological problems the drugs can help with best.

    I also think that pairing this drug with therapy would be amazing as a therapist could help their patient reflect on the changes that are happening and give them the tools to build new habits while the drug is in effect




  • See, I understand that you’re trying to joke but the linked video explains how the use of the word dumber here doesn’t make any sense. LLMs hold a lot of raw data and will get it wrong at a smaller percent when asked to recite it, but that doesn’t make them smart in the way that we use the word smart. The same way that we don’t call a hard drive smart.

    They have a very limited ability to learn new ways of creating, understand context, create art outside of its constraints, understand satire outside of obvious situations, etc.

    Ask an AI to write a poem that isn’t in AABB rhyming format, haiku, or limerick, or ask it to draw a house that doesn’t look like an AI drew it.

    A human could do both of those in seconds as long as they understand what a poem is and what a house is. Both of which can be taught to any human.
