Message: <blockquote data-quote="Chris24Main" data-source="post: 2759805" data-attributes="member: 585131">So, I found the book on the internet archive... I may have to create an account to borrow and read it...In totally other news - I have to take a minute to talk about Notebook LM - for any of you actually wanting to do some independent research. I've known about it for months, but honestly, I'm a bit of an AI naysayer; I don't like most of what AI currently does - to me it simply dumbs things down. BUT- Notebook LM from Google, is just about the most Google thing I've ever come across: basically, it's a learning tool - you upload sources, and it will generate a study plan, a briefing note, an interactive mind map ... so far so AI... but it will also generate a "deep dive" - a conversation between two people, about the topic in hand, and done in a way where you can adjust the focus (describe this part of the process in more detail, but use simple language, and focus on the connection to this other thing...)It's truly - truly - revolutionary ... I've found that topics that would take me days to get to grips with... you can have them broken down into something easily (or at least more easily) understood, leading to just supercharged learning ... and it's like having your own tutorial group; I'm just so impressed.For example - Seyfried's "Cancer as a metabolic disease" - that's hard going - really hard; but I could upload the entire book as a source, and have a focussed discussion generated in minutes - 15 minutes of listening to that, and I feel so much more informed about the entire thing... unbelievable; I've put weeks into the same thing and not made anywhere near the same level of progress...What I'm looking into now is the precise mechanism that drives the pancreas to "sense" glucose, and release insulin, and how that can be impaired in certain conditions - which of course is critical to the question of insulin resistance - and I've pulled in about 10 links from various sources, NIH, the endocrine society, nature, Science direct - all really reputable sources, and I suddenly have a degree-level tutorial talking about exactly what I'm interested in... amazing...<can I just take a second to clarify this - I am not - NOT - promoting the use of any generative tool, AI, or language model - to create text in order to post it here - that is a clear rule breach, and does nobody any use. Anyone can copy and paste text with no actual learning having taken place. All I am saying is that this learning tool is a good tool for learning - you still need to put effort into learning>Everything I post is written by me. It would be a complete waste of time otherwise.</blockquote>
