This used to be expressed in a "if you can't tell me the flaws in the programming language you're using, that's proof that you don't understand it" kind of way.
I was thinking today that it might be related to "[A sucker is someone who doesn't know who is a sucker.
I mean, if something doesn't seem to have a bad side, then maybe you're being duped by someone "intent on making the bad side invisible."
Well, but "[Don't find malice in being incompetent enough to be explained away.
People who understand the bad side to the extent that they can't see the good side will only tout the good side, and people who are critical thinkers to the extent that they take it seriously will take it seriously filter bubble. This means, for example, that if there's one malicious scammer, and nine nonmalicious idiots take him seriously, and those who saw the nine people's transmissions and believed them because "everyone says so," they're being duped by someone who has no malicious intent.
Whether or not the other party has malicious intent is irrelevant in avoiding deception.
There are people trying to do things that can easily be quantified.
Trying to overwhelm others with quantity
I find myself overwhelmed with quantity.
I'm fascinated by things that are easy to understand and show progress.
I think you're right up to the point where 1 is better than 0 output, even if it's a heck of a lot better.
A collection of a hundred hefty 1's does not equal one hundred.
We must reach a higher order, but the way to do so is not clear.
It would be tempting to avoid working on tasks that are not clear and to accumulate progress by doing tasks that will produce results if done!
Overwhelmed by quantity" itself is a law of nature.
Not that there's anything wrong with using it.
What's the difference?
If you try to do work that earns volume in order to overwhelm others with volume, you'll take your resources to "trivial tasks" that will earn volume and prevent you from doing anything useful.
On the other hand, if you're doing something "fun" or "immersive" and look back on it later, you can accumulate a lot, and this quantity will appeal to you later.
Narrow-minded people lie rather quickly.
Often there is no malice on his part.
He often doesn't realize he's lying.
It is perceived as true by the person simply because of the narrow scope of observation
If that is the case, then in some situations you must be on the narrow side of the vision, and then you are assuming a lie to be the truth.
How can we improve this situation?
Those who claim that ChatGPT will make people stop thinking are not thinking very much at this point either.
