  • Yes and their unawareness of employment numbers going up, prices stabilizing, companies being prosecuted for price fixing and profiteering, consumer rights being strengthened, unions being strengthened, etc, is in large part the fault of the media (and yes a fair bit fault of the party who couldn’t tell anybody what they were doing).

    Things were getting better, and people’s view of the economy ended up being extremely wildly distorted from the real numbers by the end, people were fearful over nothing because media boosted the fear campaign from Republicans.









  • There’s past evidence that the brain essentially outsources whole categories of knowledge and memories and skill to its surroundings.

    You might get good at certain things and learn certain things, somebody else learns something else, and then you both learn roughly what the other knows, at which point you rely on them for questions specific to what they know, and they rely on you for your specialty.

    We do this with technology too (it’s a big part of skills involving tools), and people has been doing it with dictionaries, online searches, etc.

    But doing it so universally for everything, just because chatgpt can form answer-shaped text for anything, is just insane. Don’t you even want to have your own personal feelings and thoughts? Do you just want to become an indirect interface to a bot for other people?

    It’s like the kind of personality-less people who mold themselves after popular people around them, but they’re doing it with an algorithm instead…
