Chasing The Scream by Johann Hari is a really good book for anyone who's more interested on learning more about how Portugal went about the decriminalization and just a really interesting book in general on the war on drugs.

Yeah I guess you could make the case for it being the other way around. Although, I think that a lot of ML concepts have groundings in optimization, probability, and a bunch of other mathematical concepts as opposed to concepts that wanted to replicate those psychological effects.

Yeah LOL i think maybe limiting the dataset to just 1:1 conversations would be better than including group chats as well

Nice writeup! Definitely seems to be a lot more realistic than my bot LOL The parser is really helpful too

Yeah you're right it is a possibility. Overfitting was definitely a problem in this project. I think just a larger dataset and maybe adding some regularizers would have helped.

Luckily I dont think I have too much compromising information in my dataset LOL

Awesome! Let me know if you get good results or find a way to improve my Seq2Seq model

Just watched the episode today LOL Insane stuff

Thanks! This is definitely useful
