Heartbreaking. I’ve asked subscribers to send me screenshots of their premium increases, and I can’t even tell you how many emails I’m getting like this.
Folks can’t pay these rates. This family is in TX, but it’s happening everywhere. Congress MUST extend the ACA tax credits.

This may explain why there’s an aggressive response to people who merely post Kirk’s own words. It threatens the existence of the alternate Kirk - the motivational speaker that had been marketed to young kids and white Christian groups through selective quotation & clips.

Refusing to "trust the experts" is meant to be a brave, responsible position.
But (as Carl explains in the thread) there is too much knowledge in the world. You have to trust *somebody*, much of the time.
If you have no trust in experts, you end up trusting the idiots.

It's literally a vital feature of both science and of representative democracy.
I've written a fair bit about trust in expertise as a vital mechanism in the collective epistemology of science.

Main thing I learned this week at Hacker Summer Camp was people actually using AI werent using it to create for them. They're using it to take what they know & write in a more biz acceptable manner OR using it to search for known facts and other things that were really just nested IF statements

THIS. The pleasure of certainty is right there in Prospect Theory. It's there in Ellsberg's paradox.
It's there in my own ambiguity papers showing we have a measurable financial value for pos *and* neg information if it makes us feel more certain.
Certainty is a hell of a drug.

Certainty is a hell of a drug.
It is *pleasurable* to be certain about what we should do. Our brain enters a different state. We like it so much we spend time and money to keep doing that activity.
Uncertainty, thinking, failing? they can't compete.
A real problem is: at their core, AIs are slot machines where you win certainty

This is the clearest summary of the pitfalls of info from LLMs that I've seen. 👏
Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

On the importance of trust
I find “people don’t actually know how things work” has a lot of explanatory power.
I don’t mean this in a holier-than-thou way. I’m only vaguely aware of how my microwave or the car radio work. A lot of modern life is assuming the functioning of complex tech and models.
