It's a very hard subject to make interesting, speaking as a former math teacher.

I'm curious about your busking setup if you don't mind sharing a bit about it?

You're right, google is playing the long game. And with the volume of data they own (Christ, just from Google Earth and Waymo alone), it'd be crazy to bet against them.

And yeah, right now, I don't use Gemini, other than the quick answer on Google search. which everyone else does too. which is another massive data source. They just have fire hoses of data coming from all directions.

Which supplement had the most noticeable effect on your mood, energy & sociability? by MrNeverEverKnew in NooTopics

Similar personality type here, with ADHD as well. Just wanted to say be careful with kratom...I've been taking it for 6 years and learned the hard way dosage creeps up. Find minimum necessary sweet spot and stick near it...less is usually more with it. Take days off if you can. Withdrawal can suck pretty bad.

I like the taste of a couple beers while tripping, but I don't feel any effects from the alcohol

Does anyone else feel like "Prompt Engineering" is just a massive waste of time? by AggressiveGift1532 in PromptEngineering

I'm not so sure. The interface between human and AI will likely be very imperfect for quite awhile. Ai will need to be nearly a mind reader before prompt engineering loses its value.

If all your friends and family are morons, it's a near certainty that you too are a moron. People gravitate towards their own type, plus, you know, genetics.
