  • Saying that it’s good at one thing and bad at others.

    But that’s exactly the difference between narrow AI and a generally intelligent one. A narrow AI can be “superhuman” at one specific task - like generating natural-sounding language - but that doesn’t automatically carry over to other tasks.

    People give LLMs endless shit for getting things wrong, but they should actually get credit for how often they get it right too. That’s a pure side effect of their training - not something they were ever designed to do.

    It’s like cruise control that’s also kinda decent at driving in general. You might be okay letting it take the wheel as long as you keep supervising - but never forget it’s still just cruise control, not a full autopilot.






  • I was in a relationship from 18 to 34. Now, for the first time in my entire adult life, I’m single instead of jumping straight into the next one.

    No doubt there are things I miss about being in a relationship - and I still probably lean toward that being the ideal setup - but relationships have downsides too, just like being single has upsides.

    I’m not sure what the final tally of that equation looks like, but every now and then I catch myself wondering whether I even need to be in a relationship at all. I spent most of my childhood practicing playing alone, and I got pretty damn good at it.
