  • My experience with using ai, and at this point I’d say this experience is extensive / daily, is that it gets things wrong A LOT and with a high degree of confidence in its position.

    In the early stages of using it I felt my problem solving desire start to slip, but after pushing through that and realizing I should not trust this any more than I’d trust human judgment it’s more like having another person to work with. That’s helpful but if I let me own thinking guard down at all I put myself in a lot of risk.

    I hope most people that do use AI regularly eventually push through to this stage and we all will be way better off in the long run for the assistance.

    I fear most people won’t push through. This study points to the obstacle, I’d love to see what can be done to help people overcome it, probably there’s room for AI usage training that we need to start to consider.


  • Any AI, LLM or otherwise, isn’t human by definition.

    Human art should be by and for humans. AI art masquerading as human art is reprehensible.

    AI art might need its own set of awards though. I don’t see a problem with AI art being valued on its own merits, it’s the deception and theft that are the problems.

    Current LLMs being fully based on theft I think should be disqualified, but I don’t want to rule out the possibility that some future AI won’t be worthy of its own consideration.

    Honest answer? Go to Claude.ai, tell it you’re thinking about switching to Linux then engage in a discussion to find the right distribution for you, get guidance along the way, then when you’re up and running ask it for help on troubleshooting and making your experience better.

    I recently did this myself, I’m near your age, and seriously this will make the experience a joy and you won’t regret it at all because you will have great help whenever you need it. You will need the help but with the help you can get to the best possible OS for you and your needs with little pain in a relatively short time.

    You almost certainly will not regret this.








  • People crave certainty. Like are obsessed with it. They will do anything to obtain it including believing all kinds of wildly untrue things. Intuition is usually associated with these hard fictions.

    Science starts from the premise that the universe is uncertain. Uncertainty is baked into all scientific measurements. This mindset leads to true knowledge but it is fundamentally not how people are naturally wired to think. It takes repeated practice to stay scientifically minded even if you are trained in the practice and you exercise it regularly. It’s uncomfortable to stay in the uncertain place for long periods of time for most people. Regression to certainty is the norm, science is the exception.

    I give people a lot of empathy for the certainty mindset, even if it is wrong it helps people cope with the gaping abyss of uncertainty. It’s not an easy thing to grapple with.
