Gregory's Server@mttaggart Which begs the question. If middle schoolers can figure that out, why can't adults? 😉🤦♂️

@jbhall56 @mttaggart Adults have automated a lot of decision making into a set of categories. Brains are hungry beasts, so routines that minimize their use have won the evolutionary race. Those same adults train AI to look like “a reasonable human being”, which translates to “a model of categorization that sounds agreeable”. Meanwhile, adolescents stand in direct opposition to the concept of agreeableness. Evolution seems to have favored that too.  @jbhall56 @mttaggart because being stupid and making a metric ton of fat cash are not mutually exclusive. Greed is a solid motivator and mankind’s single greatest worst invention.  @jbhall56 @mttaggart allow me to answer what I presume is a rhetorical question with an article I find very persuasive: https://softwarecrisis.dev/letters/llmentalist/ > I first thought that these were just classic cases of tech bubble enthusiasm [... but] the believers in the “AI” bubble sound very different from those of prior bubbles [...] This specific blend of awe, disbelief, and dread all sound like the words of a victim of a mentalist scam artist—psychics |
@jbhall56 @mttaggart We seem to understand that racism and other negative beliefs are learned, but a lot of people haven’t figured out that despite the contradiction of definitions ignorance is also learned.
That is to say I think that there are many (many, many, many) adults that may have actually been more capable of making good decisions when they were children.
