We also dig into dead internet theory, why LLM writing may have already peaked, and why demanding physical skills may become more...

Newsflash, Brosefus. Four weeks from now — Monday, October 12 — I fling open the gates of the Physiologic Flexibility Certification for 1 week only. Why should you care?
