  • I enjoyed it when the author was in charge of the TV series. I watched until the end of the initial series, but after that I never looked back.

    Spoilers/explanation below:

    Too many things didn’t make sense, like how the dragon queen suddenly became a completely different person. How the Lannister siblings made up after hating each others guts, only for the tower to collapse on top of them the same instant. That everyone met their nemesis at the very end. Why anyone would vote for Bran to become the new king when he barely spoke to anyone since he was like 13 years old, and many other inconsistencies like that. The last couple of seasons barely had any story at all, it was mostly about fighting… It was bad.


  • I’ve been searching for knowledge my entire life, and I love sharing what I have learned. Helping others with whatever struggles they may have gives me more pleasure than doing the same thing for myself. I don’t care if it is helping fix computers, doing math, physics or chemistry homework, helping replace a chip on a broken electronics component, or basically whatever you may think of. I’ve been around the block once or twice - I spent basically all my free time over the past 25 years nerding over anything and everything.

    I would hate to be ignorant and lose the capability of helping others or myself.



  • The network of neurons that has evolved to have specific taste preferences that allow us to eat food that isn’t bad for us caused him to eat it. The planning done by said network is what caused the bread to be there in the first place. We all know that we have to eat, and tend to be good at ensuring that we can eat whenever we feel like it.

    It’s all pure physics and chemistry. When your stomach gets empty you feel hunger due to the stomach or related glands releasing mRNA that causes the brain to activate different circuits that cause you to seek food. Animals that don’t do this don’t live for very long.

    LLM’s aren’t intelligent. “Intelligence” is the word that has to be cut. “Artificial” is accurate.

    They cannot reason about things they haven’t seen before, for instance. Ask it about “your new physics theory” and it will tell you that it is interesting and could revolutionize the world, basically regardless of how ridiculous and nonsensical it is.

    That is because when new ideas do make it to the news and gets significant coverage, it is because it is an idea that has potential for actually being revolutionary. Since those ideas take up most of the space, it is a majority of what the LLM is trained on. That means that the basic response to any claimed physics idea is that it is great. Posts constantly show up on physics subreddits that prove this trend. These theories that show up never have math that makes sense, and make claims that doesn’t correlate with the data we already have about our universe.


  • Same here.

    I learned to read at 3, and taught myself English before starting in school by reading all the text I came across on my Amiga, recognizing words that were similar to the Danish ones and slowly picking up more and more.

    I also got a My Little Professor at 3, a reverse calculator that gave problems to solve. My mom taught me addition, subtraction and multiplication, and my mothers “subtraction is the opposite of addition” was enough for me to figure division out. I did the hardest problems in all four categories in my head, with numbers with up to 4 digits, before starting in school too.

    I never did homework in school, only things that had to be turned in. I always had my hand up in class, because my innate curiosity and mental capacity meant that I could figure things out as the questions were written on the blackboard. The lax attitude stuck. *Edit: It wasn’t because I didn’t try to get things that required more work from me. I always asked for harder problems when doing work in class, because I always finished the problems we were given to do while in class and finish as homework before the class was done.

    My biggest problem growing up was bullying. I didn’t share interests with hardly any of my classmates, since I was at least 3 years ahead of them in my mental development. My best friend was 10 years old when I was 7, and he and I played Magic together because his classmates couldn’t figure it out. My glasses, small stature, and the fact that I changed schools twice didn’t help.
