Ablations:
- Using just the nonpolar solvent provided some improvement, but not as much as the whole grease mixture
- Using just the fatty acid salt did not provide improvement
- Other amphiphilic substances, such as methanol, did not provide as much improvement as soap in the mixture

There's this paper, which proposes an architecture that is both neuromorphic and at least on paper competitive with similar transformer architectures

The Dragon Hatchling: The Missing Link between the Transformer and Models of the Brain
The relationship between computing systems and the brain has served as motivation for pioneering theoreticians since John von Neumann and Alan Turing. Uniform, scale-free biological networks, such as ...

If you cannot mentally distinguish between, say, 1) Some guy running a local image model on his PC for funsies, and 2) Elon Musk building a datacenter in the most batshit-irresponsible way possible, then you have put yourself in a position where you DO NOT ENCOURAGE responsible or ethical behavior.

I've been online long enough to know that a lot of people just like to be gigantic assholes the moment there's no social pressure to do otherwise, even to people who are doing nothing wrong at all. It's rare to see someone admit it like this. Usually they maintain the facade a bit longer.
