artemsokolov··on Nvidia CEO criticizes Anthropic boss over his statements on AI
Strange to see such unfounded criticism directed at Anthropic and Dario. So far, they seem to be the most transparent and responsible in the AI race.
artemsokolov··on Natural occurring molecule rivals Ozempic in weight loss, sidesteps side effects
There’s some misinformation here.

The US does use more additives like BHA or potassium bromate (possible carcinogens—can you name others you’re thinking of?), but their link to obesity isn’t clear. As for soda, ‘hyper processed corn syrup’ I suppose just means high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS)—what’s the big difference you see from sugar? Research, like this meta-analysis (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9551185/), shows HFCS and sugar are metabolically similar in typical amounts, no disaster there.

Your weight loss in Europe might be more about activity than food quality. Short trips often mean more walking and exploring, which burns calories, even if you’re eating junk.
