I don’t see any evidence here that AI has helped the poster, or his wife, at all. He also does not say a thing about how it has hurt his critical thinking ability or changed his biases. I look at posts like these for evidence about whether I should use AI more than I do. (I use it little and don’t pay for it.) What we have here is a devotional post on the order of “I prayed to Jesus and my life is better now.” The ba…

You act like there is no benefit to entering a relationship with a fellow human’s website. You act like it is somehow difficult or unpleasant to do that assessment. You act like LLMs are stable and reliable.

I don’t understand how there is any comparison. The only way I can assess the reliability of an LLM is by doing hundreds of trials, analyzing each one for correctness— a gargantuan task. And it’s not like OpenAI has ever done such testing! And even if I did that work (which I HAVE done in other contexts while researching LLM reliability) I cannot assume that it will remain reliable when the model is updated.

Meanwhile there are well known social forces that act on humans to encourage them to not put poison into their recipes. No such force acts on ChatGPT until a kid gets poisoned or some outrageous recipe goes viral.

Sometimes I wonder if certain other people are using some different Internet than I use.

This reads like AI.

Fortunately, we can trivially verify that the quote is real and comes from a short story: https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/72890/pg72890-images.ht... The quote in question comes from the section "Part III: The Homeless".

I recognise, but it reads as if it is. Overly complex word soup!

It's much easier to ask ChatGPT "what can I cook using only these ingredients within 30 minutes using only a wok?" than Googling it. Once I have names of dishes that fit my criteria, I can find highly rated recipes on Google.

Just put it in an index fund.

The interesting part of this advice: index funds will probably include Starlink, Tesla, Apple, Amazon, Meta and Microsoft etc. While "index fund" sounds plain and boring, it's an inplicit vote for the status quo and binding one's fortune to the current market leaders, effectively supporting them.

My understanding is that index funds adapt they rebalance shares mlby market value and add or drop companies. Sure they might miss out on some rapid movement from nothing but they'll add that company in next quarter.

They're a vote that you think the economy as a whole (us, eu, worldwide) will go up not that particular companies will go up.

Of course if some political figures succeeded in destroying things there may be a large recession in which case index funds may do badly for a couple of years but if you think there will eventually be a recovery and end up higher then its still worth it.

> They're a vote that you think the economy as a whole (us, eu, worldwide) will go up not that particular companies will go up.

That's the sales pitch.

The other side of the coin is any company that is influencial enough to bring part of the market down if it fails will also hold index funds as hostages. The more index funds are chosen the more "too big to fail" companies impact people's savings as a whole.

Whatever you think of the next behemoth being caught red handed doing something egregiously criminal, it's survival will be partly guaranteed by index funds.

And even the lecturers acquiesced when they found that a lecture on the sea was none the less stimulating when compiled out of other lectures that had already been delivered on the same subject. “Beware of first-hand ideas!” exclaimed one of the most advanced of them. “First-hand ideas do not really exist.

reminder that this is describing something very bad and undesirable in the novel, with an uncritical humanity living subject to a machine. read the entire novel at least before internalizing yet another torment nexus.

I first read it during covid and it blew my mind, like, if there ever was anything that read like "I'm a time traveler stuck in 1909, please come get me", it would be this story...
