If you struggle with cooking meals at home because of <gestures at everything>, I highly recommend Costco's various bags of frozen vegetables, the 10-pack of chicken soup, frozen fruit and greek yogurt for smoothies, and the $5 rotisserie chicken. These are the main things keeping me alive right now

No consumer-facing LLMs or generative "A.i." in anything.
Sure, machine learning in science and a few other limited applications is fine.
But consumer-facing LLMs and generative "A.i." that are based on theft, push disinfo, and can be manipulated by billionaires?
