  • By “first shot” I mean when you go get your blood tested. If you only take the reading from the same sample as everything else, it can show up higher than it normally is. From my latest test (pills, sublingual, spiro (fuck I hate Spiro)):

    Hormone Reading
    Prolactin 76.40 ng/ml
    Prolactin (20 min.) 64.10 ng/ml

    Cypro gave me bomb-ass results while I was taking it (with oral pills), but yeah, those are concerning numbers.


















  • The joke is a cross between a famous anecdote about Diogenes and the inner workings of vision-capable AI models.

    Diogenes really liked to disrespect his social superiors, so when, in a lecture, Plato defined human beings as “featherless bipeds”, Diogenes plucked a chicken and presented it to him saying “Behold - Plato’s human being” (or something along those lines, the quote is slightly different in every source).

    In order to “see” things from images and video, a garden variety LLM needs to integrate with another model that analyzes the picture it is given and gives a text description (source: HuggingFace). What I’m getting at is that, based on that idea of stripping things of context, ChatGPT could probably confidently tell you something in the vein of Plato taking the piss due to its inherently limited ability to see.
