You don’t always have to know how it works to rely on it. Most people could not tell you how a computer works but they are able to do better work.
We can verify that it’s better in some tasks than people. E.g give doctors and the AI 1000 MRI scans of potential cancer patients and it can determine it more accurate than doctors. So there they already are a help.
It’s already used in advancing different fields, for example reading texts of ancient burned scrolls without opening the scroll since that would break them.
But also medicine creation etc.
And with learning, yeah like books, they help you to learn faster but are not a requirement. Same here I can learn much faster now. But I will verify what it tells me.
— But I’m not sure if all of that outweighs the shit. 💩 The genie is already out of the bottle, no putting it back.
I think AI so far is detrimental to society.
-
It made it too easy to flood the world with bullshit.
-
Also it will make tracking peoples behaviors much easier while keeping plausible deniability on levels that past horrible regimes could only dream about.
-
It will be used to make replacing workers more easy.
-
It is being used to deny more healthcare (eg Luigie’s case)
Pro’s
-
Can be used for good (eg in the medical field) by finding issues sooner and making better cures
-
Using AI to actually learn though is a great tool.

All in all I think it with social media is one of the biggest reasons the US is in the state it is.
I am an software engineer, grew up with the rise of computers, love them.
I don’t want smart things. No touch screens on appliances, fridges, ovens, cars. I don’t want my monitor to be smart.
Alleged actions. So, people want to come to his aid so the system doesn’t make another innocent victim. Perhaps it even shines a bigger light on the systemic issues.
The training corpus of these large models seem to be “the internet YOLO”. Where it’s fine for them to download every book and paper under the sun, but if a normal person does it.
Believe it or not:
Hardly any biker in the Netherlands wears a helmet, probably more km’s driven by bike per person than any other country. There’s:
- Completely separate infrastructure for bikes
- Physical barriers for cars
- Shared infrastructure where cars can go 10-15 kmh.
VS: SF, which is relatively okay for bikes by US standards (minus those damn hills): Here’s your a green painted area on the road and a helmet, God Speed.
Totally, I missed it until someone pointed it out in the comments, assumptions about a “consistent world” are kind of baked in. Your brain might implicitly flip it just to make sense.
It doesn’t sound super surprising that different malformations in the brain even though caused by the same underlying condition can result in very varied effects on behavior.
Good stuff though. (The research)
I want to see the racetrack that came in the same box.
That would be nice but as the “proud owner of medical issues” it’s much more often: “You have this, we don’t know why you have it, this is how we can manage it”.
You still want your doctor to be knowledgeable of course, but you also want them to use the best tools at their disposal. Most of them probably couldn’t tell you how an mri machine works exactly either.
