  • I was outside, next to a park on a lake, and I mentioned to someone the lack of ambient bugs. He was insistent that there were bugs around somewhere but it took me several minutes to locate ONE and it was the only one I could find.

    No dragonflies, ladybugs, bees, wasps, butterflies, beetles, grasshoppers… I couldn’t even see any ants, flies, or mosquitos. The one I found looked similar to a gnat. It’s spring here. There should be bugs.


  • But what about when you start wanting to know about life’s mysteries?

    Google isn’t staffed by geologists; how are they to know what number of rocks you should eat each day?

    Google search itself doesn’t have a functioning set of human organs; without AI how would they know how much urine to drink for kidney stones?

    Without AI it might’ve taken another century before we got spicy gasoline pasta recipe, and you think that isn’t a problem?






  • Someone might have been to the woods several times without encountering a bear but also have been assaulted multiple times. The same person could’ve seen a bear irl and had it move along without incident. Statistics probably aren’t what they think of first in the scenario.

    I mean surely human to human interactions, and bear to human interactions, like interaction interactions, are probably not statistically all that different?

    You don’t like that the person you’re replying to didn’t give you the comparison information you desire but instead of doing your own research and bringing the results here you’re suggesting “surely” you’ve already got the answer you want?
