  • No, you’re confusing being stupid with being ignorant. THEY’RE NOT THE SAME THING AT ALL. All stupid people are ignorant, but not all ignorant people are stupid.

    An ignorant person can be wise if they are aware of their own ignorance and asks for help or assistance; but an ignorant person becomes stupid the moment they forget that they’re ignorant and takes care of matters beyond their capabilities.

    A poor person is condemned to be constantly aware of their own ignorance, since they don’t have the purchasing power or the necessary influence to compensate; the rich, on the other hand, is convinced that their economic success also implies intellectual success, and there is no one to contradict them, because they are the one who puts the money, so they are the one who makes the decisions.

    There are rich people who are wise when, for example, they hire other people to solve their blind spots, and obviously there are stupid poor people, millions of them, purely for statistics.

    But is this the best and most efficient way for rational beings to organize themselves? Let me be REALLY skeptical about that.








  • Good to know, pal! I’ve never used the AI either, never relied on it and never will, never asked it anything…

    But my mother has. And my sister. And my sister’s friend. And my sister’s friend’s daughter. My coworkers use AI. My friends use AI. Some of my favorite content creators use AI. I’ve seen a lot more people talk about how they use AI to do mundane things that wouldn’t take them 2 minutes to think about, communiques for the neighborhood meeting, student speeches, Mourning messages…

    I’ve read endless news stories of companies laying off 70% of their workforce to replace them with AI. I’ve seen endless articles talking about how people use AI as a therapist, as a replacement for friends and partners, as a replacement for human relationships…

    I’ve seen hundreds of morons belittling the work of talented artists saying that “Why are you wasting your time with that? AI makes you something better in less than a minute”…

    So, yes. neither you nor I make use of AI, we are not part of the circus. But everyone around us is. And that, whether we want it or not, splashes on us.
