>>15319761
>How can you be that fat and have such small biceps?
He's repeatedly done crazy crash diets and fasts to lose weight, which he promptly regains.
Each crash diet/fast results in muscle loss.
He touts "Protein-Sparing Modified Fasting", unaware that even if you consume more than enough protein, and even if you do strength training during the crash diet (which he doesn't), if the caloric deficit is steep enough and you lose weight fast enough (say more than 1% of your bw per week), you're invariably going to some lose muscle, of which he had barely any to start with.

I just mean when I overeat, my NEAT goes up, and also I feel more motivation to exercise in general, and expend more energy.
Exercise also tends to suppress my appetite.
People with bad/slow metabolisms have the opposite: only a minimal increase in NEAT or other energy expenditure when they eat in a surplus, and exercise makes them hungry.

>muh broken metabolism
while refusing to do the most obvious thing that people with "healthy" metabolisms do: exercise regularly.

>>15319742
He's so incredibly inbred it's not a bad excuse
but Hitler MD miracle weight loss program proved his theory wrong

>>15319788
I'm no expert on it, but I've always suspected that the difference between a fast and slow metabolism can only vary by a few hundred calories in either direction. Otherwise wouldn't there be more severe problems than just easy gain/loss?

>>15319742

if you watch the Lex (((Fridman))) interview with Sam (((Altman))) it's obvious he doesn't understand the math behind AI either and treats it as a black box. programmers in general have no understanding of statistics, or even basic calculus. chat gpt is nothing but a fucking tool that guesses what word fits the best after the previous one. yet these fucking foreskin eaters convinced the world this is ai.

>>15319830
>chat gpt is nothing but a fucking tool that guesses what word fits the best after the previous one.
They all understand that. You're not smarter.
They are of the opinion that some level of reasoning can be derived from this architecture. You're not providing any counter-argument, all you do is convincing yourself they're dumb and that's why you're right.

Yud's view of AI is exactly a Talmudic scholar's view of God - an incomprehensible and capricious being about whose feet we must scurry in terror like ants.

>>15319833
nta but there's no evidence of chatgpt doing actual reasoning
it just learned the underlying structure of e.g. a common riddle pattern or a question-answer dialogue and is just doing style transfer

>>15319742
Thyroid stimulating hormone

>>15319742
No exercise make you smarter. Exercise increases cortisol levels which damages the hippocampus resulting in impaired memory function. This is why you do not see geniuses at the gym and why university faculty are generally of average or worse physical shape. There are no shredded fields medal or Nobel prize winners

>>15319853
My (op) TSH is lowish (like just <1) but still in the reference range, so I'm not hypethyroid.
But I'm sure my TSH would be much higher (and my metabolism slower) if I never got exercise and ate goyslop like Big Yud

>>15319833
Chat GPT is the equivalent of pressing the middle suggestion on your phone keyboard and typing out a message

>>15319870
AI sisters... not like this

>>15319867
That's not a keto diet. None of those are keto. The only keto snacks are pork rinds, and butter coffee. Everything else is just meat and cheese. The crap they sell at the grocery store as "keto" with net carbs will actually throw you out of ketosis. Someone send Big Yud my post.

>>15319742
people with faster metabolisms have higher body temperatures, also he likely doesn't eat as much as fat people

>when I overeat, I notice I start getting restless, fidget more, etc
that's called NEAT, its a different thing then metabolism, but simular.

there's no evidence of human brains doing actual reasoning either. The only source of any arguments that human brains do any reasoning are also from human brains, so not really reliable.

What's wrong with picrelated? Does he get a hard on from gaslighting?

>>15319742
People are deficient in lead, mercury, cadmium and often copper and possibly more. The lack of methylmercury is the real cause of obesity, you can't burn it off because it isn't fat storage, but a form of kwashiorkor.

>>15319867
0.58mIU/L here. I have to eat constantly throughout the day to have appropriate energy levels. Being right on the verge of hyperthyroidism is expensive.

>>15320027
>there's no evidence of human brains doing actual reasoning either
Whats true for you isn't true for all humans, mouth breather.

>>15320084
I read that both lead and mercury damage the nerve system. I also read something bad about copper, so if you are correct (which I doubt you are) post some meta-analysis with a plenty of sources, if you want to be taken seriously.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewNvcFJEHbA

Sounds like, uh, total fatfuck cope.

>>15319895
The other big problem is that people buy those "keto" snacks and layer them on top of their existing shitty diet. They seem to think it's like a pill you can take to undo all the other bad choices. Fat loss is much more about what you keep out of your diet than what you add in but most people are only willing to add in more and unwilling to take anything out.

>>15320324
Retard, what do you think GEDs are? They're high-school equivalent certifications that exist for people who didn't finish highschool. Dropping out of highschool is no excuse for not having a GED.

>>15320329
>Dropping out of highschool is no excuse for not having a GED.
I only got one to join the Army.

>>15320329
whats the point of getting a GED unless you wanna apply for a job at muttdonalds?

>>15320362
Because the only reason to not have a GED is because you're a literal retard, and on the low end of retards at that.

>McDonalds
My uncle is an investment banker. He has a GED because he ran away from home at 15 because his father was violently abusive, and he consequently couldn't finish highschool. There are a thousand reasons somebody might have a GED, but only one reason somebody would have neither a highschool diploma nor a GED: profound retardation.

To be quite frank, Eliezer Yudkowsky probably does have GED. I presume he was homeschooled, and homeschooled kids get GEDs. But if he doesn't, that's really laughable.

>>15320379
>But if he doesn't, that's really laughable.

They change the way it works, the way it works with them is the correct way.
Both can be found in old bones and are found in minerals of organic origin, except for a period of several millenia to maybe 26ky before present.
Neanderthals from 0.25 mil years ago had "lead poisoning", and vast amounts of mercury are frozen in permafrost. https://www.mountsinai.org/about/newsroom/2018/250000-year-old-neanderthal-teeth-reveal-evidence-of-lead-poisoning
Microorganisms convert anorganic mercury into methylmercury.
Relevant for weight loss, look up (spam filtered) study about japan:
>The median and geometric mean Hg level in the 17,997 samples were both 3.83µgl−1 (3.65ngg−1). Compared with other studies, these Hg levels are comparable with the blood Hg levels in pregnant Japanese women in 2006–2007 (median, 3.79ngg−1; n=54) [23] and another group of Japanese pregnant women (geometric mean, 5.18ngg−1; n=115, survey years not specified in the reference) [24]. The blood Hg levels in our study were also similar to those in pregnant Taiwanese women in 2010–2011 (median, 2.24µgl−1; n=145) [25]. However, the blood Hg levels in our study were almost one order of magnitude higher than the blood levels of pregnant women in the USA: Morello-Frosch et al. reported a geometric mean Hg level of 0.45µgl−1 in 2010–2011 (n=77) [26] while Jain reported a geometric mean of 0.706µgl−1 in 2003–2010 (n=735) [27]. Similarly, low levels of blood Hg were also detected in pregnant Canadian women in the third trimester in 2008–2011 (median, 0.56µgl−1; n=1,673) [28] and pregnant Swedish women in 2002–2003 (median, 0.70µgl−1; n=100) [29]. This difference can be attributed to the fact that East Asians tend to eat more fish/seafood than North Americans and Europeans.

What may have happened could be that civilization actually evolved slowly over hundreds of thousands, possibly millions of years, together with humans evolving, but people eventually got more and more sick, and began figuring out what's responsible, removing recent inventions until eventually completely destroying their civilization in a vain hope that that their health will return, but it got even worse, as because the problem was what they depleted (that is the metals) nit what they created. (and this is the origin of various golden age myths that occur in many cultures)

Wholly depends on whether or not the person advocates misses strikes on data centers, threatens the lives of the world's children in a mainstream publication over science fiction novels, and supports robbing all of humanity of beneficial technology.

In all seriousness, I think the bar alone would snap his twig arms.
How can someone have arms like that, and not immediately want to do some kind of exercise to reverse it? Doesn't he realize more muscle = higher BMR = faster metabolism = easier to keep weight off?

>>15321957
I'm more impressed he has so much face fat with arms like those. It's completely disproportionate.

That phrase means "Act like youre the king-shit but put zero effort into it. Get called out by *the* King Shit and shit the bed with "no u dumb" and thus ensuring you remain "zero effort trash"."

>>15322279
>God no, I'm making fun of retards and midwits who try to escape themselves with lifting. They're funny.
This isn't about not lifting to craft a respectable physique.
Yudkowsky has somehow managed to make himself both obese and emaciated at the same time, probably by because of his half-baked ideas about crash diets and keto.
If he were just fat, or just a skeleton, no one would care.

You don't get my point.
Yudkowsky would have been better off just staying fat.
Instead he yo-yo crash dieted (with keto), just to wind up obese again, but this time with zero muscle.
If he fucks his own body up this badly, why should people listen to what he has to say about AI?

>>15322616
Do you even lift

I don't give a shit if Big Yud chooses to be fat but what i find hilarious is him making claims like he'll live forever while taking little care of his body in the present. Deep down he's really banking on AI to solve his health predicament lol.
To be fair though i dont know what his actual diet is like but surely it can't be great if he's been a similar size for all these years

He got relatively skinny-fat at one point, and posted pic related to own the haters calling him "Big Yud."
Was extremely smug about it too, as if he'd used his genius intelligence and rationality skills to discover a weight loss hack (crazy protein-sparing modified fasting regimen), so it's actually kinda funny to see he got obese again.

>>15319742

Extreme dieting with zero resistance training (or probably zero exercise in general), which means almost certain muscle loss. (Even if you eat tons of protein.)
And once he gets to his goal skinny-fat weight, instead of aggressively trying to rebuild any muscle that he lost, he proclaims "mission accomplished," posts something like >>15324582
to own the haters, and then wonders why, in a year or two, he regains all of the weight, but this time with less muscle.

>The low protein theory, which relies heavily upon Starling's theory for the movement of fluid in biological systems, provided a compelling rationale for the pathogenesis of edema in kwashiorkor. What it does not explain however, is the entire array of disturbances that define the kwashiorkor syndrome. These include, irritability, anorexia, skin desquamation, skin depigmentation, hair discoloration, reduced mitochondrial respiration, impaired lipid export from the liver without an accompanying reduction of lipoprotein synthesis, 'oxidative stress', glutathione depletions, transsulfuration disturbances, diffuse DNA hypomethylation, immune dysfunction, decreased transmethylation activity, and sulfated glycosaminoglycan deficiencies.
