The first two points? They're just how LLMs work. The third is utter nonsense.
The first point is not how any production LLM has been trained for years now. Post training is not next token prediction.

Unfortunately, when it comes to high rep squats, the COOM feeling from the pump is overwhelmed by the sensation of having been hit by a truck.

He might have found some way to influencer his way to some money out of lifting now, but he did a whole lot of lifting before ever reaching a point where he could make a dime
I'm pretty sure he doesn't make a penny from this.
If he didn't enjoy doing it at some level, he wouldn't do it. If he wasn't stoked about it, about reaching his lifting goals, he wouldn't do it.
I think he likes achieving his goals, but he doesn't like the process at all. I don't see why that should be impossible.
I don't really think it's possible to "enjoy" doing a program like deep water, even if you enjoy achieving your goals.

There are alternative views.
Which is why I struggle when I hear of people that talk about how much they enjoy training, as, to me, it’s a sign of ineffective training. In total “no true Scotsman” form, enjoyable training can’t be effective, because effective training ISN’T enjoyable. If one is enjoying their training, they are not doing what training is meant to do: specifically, make one big and strong. Primarily because the body grows bigger and stronger in response to trauma. And yeah, science is telling us it’s not about microtears anymore (so I hear), but the fact remains that body grows bigger and stronger in response to a DEMAND placed upon it to grow bigger and stronger, and the only reason such a demand can be placed upon the body is for the body to experience discomfort and trauma. And, quite frankly, if you ENJOY discomfort and trauma, you are a literal masochist.

As far as antibiotic stewardship, when China and India and Brazil and everybody else gets on board, maybe.
Nuking your microbiome for no reason with unnecessary antibiotics every time you have a sniffle is a bad thing for you personally even if the Chinese are doing it too.

Last week mayor Lurie was proudly announcing major reductions in crime.
“Today, crime is down nearly 30% citywide and at its lowest point in decades. Car break-ins are at 22-year lows, and homicides are at 70-year lows. We are seeing net increases in police officers and sheriff’s deputies for the first time in a decade. We have a record low number of encampments on our streets, and overdose deaths are down 39% from January. We can keep San Francisco safe, and our new approach is beginning to deliver real results.
Anecdotally, the city is looking much better these days than a few years ago. It would be a shame if released criminals set back all this progress.

Moisturize to keep them from becoming majorly problematic. Periodically file (or just manually pick) them down to keep them under control.

It's actually the "bad research" that provides evidence for breastfeeding. Basic observational studies show massive gains from breastfeeding because women who breastfeed are higher IQ, higher conscientiousness, etc. and these studies are trotted out every time this question is litigated.
It's basically thanks to once in a generation studies like PROBIT that actually do an RCT where people would usually claim it's impossible to do one that we can look behind the curtain.
In either case it's besides the point. The emotional weakspot of breastfeeding is obvious in this context.
It's remarkable to keep harping on this despite the fact that the entire medical and scientific establishment which is eaten through with progressives is fully on board with breastfeeding and has study after study to ""support"" this position. Breastfeeding is the progressive position and only terminal contrarians disagree that it has major benefits.
At some point your beliefs have to bottom out in observable reality rather than what you wish your opponents would do. Progressives are not against breastfeeding. They are not pro formula. This should be obvious especially if you've ever spent time around progressive mothers rather than theory crafting what the outgroup would believe.
Happy to place a bet if you really think that the medical establishment is going to obviously do an about face on this question.

I don't know what it's like in your country but this is simply not the general case in the US. Not to say that nobody has a contrary experience, but the entire medical establishment is pro-breastfeeding as a matter of policy and there's lactation consultants lurking behind every corner in the maternal wards.

If it happened, the official recommendations from the AAP and the WHO would be ambivalent between breastfeeding and formula. Is that the recommendation? No? Then no, it hasn't happened.
If political correctness were to overtake it, it would have already happened.
If you've ever been in a maternity ward it's difficult to convey how hard the staff pushes for breastfeeding. In my deep blue area mothers who just had a C section and have a baby in the NICU are constantly pressured to breastfeed (despite the pain from the surgery site while holding the baby) and pump to provide milk to the baby. All the usual progressive suspects (WHO, APA) are pro-breastfeeding. We are very much in the "breast is best" era.

There's a wealth of literature on this. A Belarusian RCT is perhaps the most rigorous. It found reductions in skin and digestive conditions, but these conditions were rare even in the formula group, and it found no effect on respiratory conditions.
They followed up with the kids at age 6.5 (Kramer 2010) and found no evidence of health benefits.

Besides AWFLs being perhaps the most likely demographic to breastfeed, there's no convincing evidence for benefits of breastfeeding outside of a slight reduction in minor rashes or gastrointestinal upset in babies. Nobody has demonstrated long-run benefits for the child of any kind.

We used to have a guy obsessed with assabiyah. IIRC he has some other, uh, proclivities that eventually got him the boot.

An 8 hour feeding window is completely standard for IF and may even be superior from a lean mass gains perspective to a 4 hour window.

there's not really an event in the Olympics that has a pure test of static strength.
The clean and press is hella cool but if there's a clean in there it's not a test of static strength. And to be honest given the techniques they were using for the press it's not static strength either. Maybe someone could come up with some autistic ruleset for the press but who wants to see that? Just add a deadlift event and be done with it.
What is the blurring of meaning in a sign at the supermarket saying "10 items or less?"
What thoughts is it possible to express now that "corn" refers to a specific new world crop rather than to all grains that were impossible to express before?
