Useful technology isn't something people are forced to use. This was one of the really interesting things I heard maybe a year ago from so many pundits. Things like "I'm trying to think of ways to use this so I become good at it." That's not how productivity tools are supposed to work.

Absolutely. Generative AI has become incredibly popular with people who don’t mind that it gives them the wrong information 5-10% of the time because they don’t know that they’re getting bad information. And that’s just our new normal.

If I had a calculator that gave me the wrong answer even 1% of the time I’d be extremely skeptical of using that calculator. But it’s good enough for most people and we’re just going to live with the consequences.

Yesterday I was googling some DNC committee members to see if they’d commented on Zohran Mamdani yet and this was AI’s response

@paleofuture.bsky.social amazing how well this fits into Trump’s “let’s kill education” and fascism’s “uneducated masses” requirements.
