That was once in 2006. Taco Bell has been pretty strict about internal auditing for health concerns for ages and was the first who gets their lettuce from their supplier whom a lot of other restaurants use and haven't done anything yet. I used to work at one back close to the 2006 outbreak, and since then we've seen more McDonald's outbreaks and I'm not surprised at all.

    And godless machine learning engineers like myself. I think you assume I think humans and only humans are intelligent. I am not convinced humans are conscious. There have been many cases where that simply isn't true or obvious.

    Have a good day.

    Cleaner Wrasse are conscious according to the mirror test. No one would call those fish intelligent. They are smart enough, but they are only self-conscious enough to recognize themselves in a reflection to help remove parasites.

    Nothing in the Turing Test proves intelligence. Sounding human is so easy, a chat bot that pretends to be a scared little boy was the first to complete it, way back in 2014. Assuming that fooling a human is hard is even less convincing.

    Garlic bread is an old ace meme. Where the community generally agreed garlic bread is better than sex. (And my non-ace partner would probably agree but that's besides the point.)

    Not all psychiatrists or therapists are equipped to deal with all problems and all people. Mental health is hard and everyone is different. I hope you can make some progress on this, and I'm sorry things have been hard to discuss. I agree that talking about these things should be less taboo. It certainly would have helped me figure out some things.

    I like the memes route, but it may take a while to break the shell it sounds like he's built. The real answer is probably to get a proper second opinion from someone who deals with sexual health, or maybe a couples counseling to discuss "sexual incompatibility" so as to not put the blame on him. But that may be too forward right now.

    Just remember, unlike what society has kinda taught us, sexual drive is a complex thing and sexual health looks different for everyone, so conversations are important even though we aren't supposed to have them supposedly... Thanks society!

    The bigger problem is the lack of communication on the subject leading to these kinda puritanical "sexual desire is bad and makes you do bad things" take that made Kellogg try to kill libido with corn flakes.

    I think people need to discuss sexuality in non sexual contexts more often. It needs to be considered less taboo and less explicit when specifically discussing sexual health, which is actually important to discuss. I'm largely asexual, and honest conversations earlier in my life would have helped a lot, because I never understood a lot of the things you point out in media. I know just how much my view differs thanks to conversations with someone with diagnosed hypersexuality whom I think of as a close friend.

    The best uses I've seen are blind person aides. Scene understanding and OCR for disability aides. The OCR doesn't have to be LLMs, but a system that combines the two effectively is useful.

    There is merit to sitting an LLM in front of an expert system to act as an intermediate, but the LLM shouldn't be doing any "thinking." It should only translate results.
