@unclebobmartin@HedaSudhanshu To be clear. I don’t think agents diminish the human mind. I think they are an example of the great power of it. I think reason is the cornerstone of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Reason belongs to humans. Not machines. Happy Memorial Day.
@unclebobmartin@HedaSudhanshu I do see AI and LLMs as an absolute marvelous achievement. And I love seeing the frontiersman like yourself, who inspired millions of us, adopt them. But I think it's important to distinguish them as a tool to aid in human thinking. They do not think or reason. It is impossible.
@unclebobmartin@HedaSudhanshu There is a way to come away with that conclusion. You come away with that conclusion by understanding what reason is. Reason requires volition, and value judgments. A machine has neither. One must value truth to assess right/wrong. AI gives the illusion of reason. It's a tool.
This question is a trap. Let me explain.
We don't have capitalism. We have a welfare state so expensive, that high progressive tax (Communist Manifesto Plank #2) can't pay for it, so we need a central bank (Plank #5). Every productive enterprise is regulated (some actively supervised), most professions are licensed. Govt outright owns roads, airports, harbors, rail, mail, radio spectrum, electrical grids, water, sewer, and schools (Plank #10).
The above, including the credit cycle caused by the central bank, is why there's more and more demand for welfare. Both consumer and corporate.
Another fallacy is to lump tax breaks and regulatory exemptions with subsidies. They are opposites.
The #phillies will finish under .500. Sanchez and Wheeler wont win every game - as demonstrated. Luzardo is hit or miss - mostly miss. Bullpen isnt strong enough to win close games. And Nola and Painter will lose 80% of their games. Team wont finish over .500.
