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.

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.
@paleofuture.bsky.social They do know. They don't care.
