I find that to be true too, that wiki isn’t a reliable source. Wiki is just a battle ground for internet warfare for political ideas in every field. Whoever has the most resources on their side gets to write it.

Humans cannot regrow neurons

That’s false. Neurogenesis continues well into adulthood. https://www.health.harvard.edu/mind-and-mood/the-book-of-neurogenesis

He is talking about neuroplasticity. Not the polymer material.

There are a quite a few inexpensive options for prevention of dementia that are much cheaper than this.

Not to mention that the original research on amyloid beta has now been proven to have been “doctored” and quite conclusively at that, why they continue to pursue drugs that clear it behooves me. Literally throwing billions of dollars into trash.

but that contradicts the great justification for capitalism: efficient markets. Monopolies are the exact opposite of efficient markets.

I want to make a clarification here before we all get too far ahead with “16% of GDP”. There are many things wrong with the way giant tech companies dominate their respective fields. However the value of a company does not equal its’ share of the GDP. GDP is the OUTPUT of a country in 1 year. It does not equal the value of all the private enterprises combined which is what this comparison is trying to do. What we want to compare then, is to take NVIDIA’s output in ONE YEAR and see how much of the economy it dominates. US GDP is ~ 30 trillion in 2025. Nvidia’s output or revenue for current fiscal year is ~ $200 billion. That’s 0.6% of the GDP. That’s far cry from 16%, by about 27 times less.

What we should be concerned are the size of the market cap of these giant tech companies dominating the total value of the stock market, as well as the monopolistic margins these companies enjoy. All of these contribute to the imbalances in the world we see today - in the economies, in the society and social structure, and in politics. Communism once rose two centuries ago in protest against the concentration of power in the hands of a few. A solution is needed to remedy the imbalances of today.

I use generic 100% stevia. It is a shame branded ones contain erythritol. You should be able to get them on amazon if you can’t find it in a store.

I buy stand alone stevia product, and never buy drinks or baked goods in the store. I make them myself at home. I have not been able to find stevia-made drinks or foods like ice cream here so I just don’t consume them. It’s summer, and I’d love to have some ice cream once in a while but I don’t.

You can use Stevia. It’s a natural product, zero calories. There is a more expensive option in monk fruit as well. I live on Stevia. It’s easily available in groceries and stores, and reasonably priced too.

Yes running sucks. I believe similar benefits can be derived by walking and cycling - stationary biking?

It actually increases the risk of dementia: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7355582/

Have you tried daily exercise, mindfulness, and anxiety-reducing supplements?

Which models?

American court system has become a monkey court.

Trump is just so fucking dumb. He is literally destroying the market for US products. In the past regardless of politics companies were independent of it, and foreign customers can rely on the companies to provide service with respect to rule of law, privacy, etc. The past US presidents refrained from fucking that up unless it involves transferring sensitive tech to unfavored nations. Now all the moves Trump does are endangering that.

The flipside is, once these Chinese products with Chinese OS invade the globe, every individual’s privacy is at risk, because we all know where China stands there.

Is this response by Grok real? How does it have awareness that its responses are being tweaked?

That can’t be true. we only have 466 judging by the upvote count. xD

Oh god so true. My mother has this disease. Half of the shelves in her kitchen are filled with these empty bottles. And she’s stacking up filled jars on the counters! Grrrrrrrrr

I think we’re too weird and niche.
