If it could output PNG, it could be adapted as a code block with its own language in org-mode.

You can’t. The later values depend on the earlier ones, so changing the early tokens invalidates your whole cache.
This is also probably why leading with a question works better in the first place. All later processing conditions on the question in this way.
BTW, in my very limited testing, GPT4 doesn’t care about the order.

org-mode has some spaced repetitions tools (e.g., org-drill). I personally don't recommend SR by flashcards too much. It's better to do it more naturally. For example, read books regularly to learn a language; common words will repeat themselves enough times that they'll effectively be a form of SR.

GPL found a way to utilize an evil law to do some good. What we need is to first scrap the evil law, then pass a FOSS protection act. (Besides, a 10 year copyrighted is so long that GPL would still be mostly enforced.)

It should be Free. People are okay with literally stealing money from corporations in the name of “tax,” yet they balk at making SDKs Free? Platforms should capture some of the economic returns to have good incentives to improve, but the majority should go to users and third-party developers. It should also be possible to release GPL software on any platform. That’s the minimum bar for not screwing over users.

Not at all. The monolithic App Store has been terrible for users. They even impose censorship on social media apps. Having alternative stores by Meta et al is excellent. More choice, more competition, less rentseeking, more innovation.

There is OPT and BLOOM, which need lots of expensive GPUs to run. Not as good as GPT3, IMO. I doubt there will be any good local alternatives in a year. StableDiffusion needed light compute, not at all comparable to these beasts.

Running emacs in tmux over SSH can be faster than TRAMP. TRAMP gets very biggy when you have a lot of third-party elisp extensions.

This is not true. The probability of ending up with nothing is only one in the limit. The probability for any finite tries is close to one, but not one. The EV keeps growing exponentially, as the rewards are growing even faster than the probability of ruin.
It is extremely risky and ill-advised, but as SBF said, it’s possible to end up in a very (very!) good position. The crux is that infinity doesn’t exist. You will place the bet at most a finite number of times.

This is pure hyperbole. The one and only challenge is rent-seeking. There already are lots of ebooks from decades before in PDF.
Re:Unix as a tool forge (and how Emacs fits in Unix philosophy)

You can use the TTY emacs over SSH (or MOSH) without TRAMP. It only transmits the terminal display so it’s fast regardless of third-party extensions. VS Code remote is actually a negative for me, as it needs fast, stable connections and consumes a lot of RAM on the remote machine.

Emacs can shell out just fine. Even the opposite is possible: You can ask a running emacs server to eval arbitrary code. I use both frequently.

You can use vanilla org-mode with ID links. Or you can define a custom link type in org-mode, where the sky is the limit. Or you use org-roam V2.

Obsidian is good, but emacs UX and power are on a whole other level if you invest in it. I recently integrated and extended a presentation mode for my org files. It allowed me to reuse all my emacs goodies when creating slides, and all the content is easily searchable and linkable. It is even a great UX when presenting; I could very easily jump between slides to show the relevant slides when questions came up. It’s exportable to beautiful HTML, too.
