    That's reductive, how many other models had a mecha hitler incident? Or a "let's talk about white genocide in south africa" incident? There is some truth to what you say, but most …

    It kind of sound to me like you're surrounded by a lot of people who will tell you stories about kids, but only the ones who are having problems. Either because there's a selection…

    I think their point was that beef farming has an enormously negative environmental impact, and we in the west in fact do overconsume meat. Though I think their point was to use AI …
