Kindness

I started brushing my teeth immediately after dinner, and it has kept me from late-night snacking.. I think I've lost some weight

I have zero evidence to support this, but it could be government contractors saving money by reusing and slightly modifying building plans between actual prisons and schools? My high school building could definitely have been a prison with some adjustments. Total speculation though.

ikr same

The lotr box set in 4K costs $540….

my Katy Perry Star Trek meme head canon is that this is really documentation of actual romulan, Katy Perry, just as she sliced her fingers off, because romulans don’t know about light sabers

so what's the car to people ratio?

Generally I agree that it can be an incredible tool for learning, but a big problem is one needs a baseline ability to think critically, or to understand when new information may be flawed. That often means having at least a little bit of existing knowledge about a particular subject. For younger people with less education and life experience, that can be really difficult if not impossible.

The 10% of information that's incorrect could be really critical or contextually important. Also (anecdotally) it's often way more than 10%, or that 10% is distributed such that 9 out of 10 prompts are flawless, and the 10th is 100% nonsense.

And then you have people out there creating AI chat bots with the sole intention of spreading disinformation, or more commonly, with the intention of keeping people engaged or even emotionally dependent on their service — information accuracy often isn't the priority.

The rate at which AI-generated content is populating the internet is increasing exponentially, and that's where most LLM training data comes from currently, so it's hard to see how the accuracy problem improves going forward.

All that said, like most things, when AI is used in moderation by responsible people, it's a fantastic tool. Unfortunately, the people in charge are incentivized to be unscrupulous and irresponsible, and we live in a decadent society that doesn't exactly promote moderation, to massively understate things...

(yeah, I used an em-dash, you wanna fight bro? 😘)

Wait til people learn about fractional banking 🫣
