    Indeed. Those are most certainly linked.

      You don't need more protein, you need more fiber.

        People who say schools don’t teach anything useful are failed students.

          We should not try to save every creature, plant, business, whatever that is threatening to become extinct. Maybe it's just their time.

          Businesses are obviously very different - but this is a very short-sighted view of plants and animals. It's only their time because we've massively changed ecosystems in very short timespans, and their extinctions will often further affect their respective ecosystems and other species negatively, leading to further extinctions.

          The only times when this many species went extinct was when literally most species went extinct. It's naive to think this won't include billions of human deaths.

            Anime and Weeb culture are a stain on humanity and objectively bad.

              I'm sorry that you've had such troubles in the past. Learning from past mistakes isn't an example of free will, though.

              Doing so, or not doing so, either one is a choice out of free will. 😉 or is also the outside world that enforces that?

                If it's free will, why would somebody not do it if it would make their life better? All of the reasons that I can think of are either in-born traits (e.g. anxiety, ego, getting more pleasure out of drugs than other people), or external influences.

                Anyway, LLMs can learn from past mistakes, too.

                  Because they don't want to get better 😞

                    Well, why would somebody not want to get better? Would somebody decide that of their own free will for no reason at all?

                      In my case it was a combination of fear, and misery being comfortable. What's your reasoning?
