Nordics are much further north than Canada, most Canadians live further south than Paris and Paris is a lot further south than even Denmark that is much further south than Finland.

That seems to mostly just be true for oppressed species that doesn't already dominate. For example Orcas attack each other when they get into each other territory, as do ants. Humans dominate most land animals today so they probably lost most of that since humans already kill enough that killing each other is no longer a benefit for them.

LLM can "think" but that requires a lot of tokens to do, all quick answers are just human answers or answers it was fed with some basic pattern matching / interpolation.

No, you misunderstood here. People aren't saying "it is harder to learn in the future", the issue is "it will be harder to make sure that someone will learn in the future".

Currently you need an engineering degree and experience to do engineering work. However if in the future a lot of people get their degree and experience just by calling LLM for every problem, those engineers will not understand at all what they are doing. Before someone having that experience will have had solved a lot of problems manually on the job, that experience made them an expert. The same person solving those by calling an LLM and pasting in the answer will just as ignorant as someone with no experience.

Most such people today didn't wanna learn to be engineers out of curiosity, they just wanted a job. In the future all such people would use LLM and never learn. Those are the main parts of our workforce, so it is a scary prospect that in the future we cannot force them to learn things properly in the same way since LLM allows them to do basic tasks without learning.

If you argue there are plenty of people who learn for fun, then you would be wrong. Extremely few people learn enough in their own time to contribute meaningfully to for example mathematics, it isn't enough to matter. People learn those fundamentals primarily because they are forced to do it for a degree they need for a job, if they weren't forced to learn and pass tests they would happily go do the job without any knowledge or skills.

> There are maybe some exceptions to this, but those exceptions are so rare that it doesn't matter for this discussion. A few people still learning it properly wont save anything.

It is fine it was stupid of me to not go and fix the "never" earlier but instead corrected it at the end of my post. You are right it would be very dumb if you thought people never ever could make such a transition, but I wrote that as the weaker version of never. There is a reason there is a "never ever", since often in common language "never" doesn't mean never.

Are you saying democrats didn't vote for Kamala since Kamala didn't call Trump voters evil? What are you on about? I see no reason why you should call Trump voters evil.

As I said its fine to call Trump evil, but why call the voters evil? What purpose does that serve?

I too mostly agree with his populist center takes, but that doesn't mean he is reasonable.
