    tubes: sure, that part was wrong. But “the internet being a series of tubes” is basically right, and things like DDOS attacks can ‘clog the tubes’. He understood the internet better than most people!

    As for the rest, I think you’ve completely misunderstood what I wrote. I purposefully didn’t include an analogy like “rebuild an engine”, but rather specifically chose to refer to the most basic, simple tasks outside of “turn on and go”.

    Like using a keyboard for typing. The kind laptops have, for example.

      Bruh who fucking cares about changing a tire or using a keyboard when they have work arounds for that? Knowing how AI works is VITAL moving forward. AI is truly going to change the world like cellphones and the internet did. It allows almost everyone to be a tiny capitalist, who can now afford a secretary, a marketer, and other virtual staff through AI. Not to mention concerns with the internet such as data mining, specialized advertising, and cloud security, which I would STILL trust a random 16 year old’s opinion about over most of congress.

      A younger person can learn to do simple things like type on a keyboard. I don’t think most of our congresspeople can learn about AI.

        you’re the person who compared people who understand how it works vs people who use it, and now you’re removed I allowed your faulty parallel to continue? 🤦‍♂️

        you’re being a combination of disingenious and stupid, so I’m out. 👍

        (But to clarify: none of your 16 yos know how AI works, and I seriously doubt you do too)

          Lol, one if my exes was a lead researcher for machine learning at Berkeley and MIT. I’m not am expert but I have very good understanding from my conversations with him. Ironically, I use similar methods as a Dominatrix to train my subs, as he did to train his AI. Wouldn’t think there would be so much in common but yeah.

          Middle schoolers indeed are using AI, let alone 16 year olds.

            one “if” your exes? I thought you said you knew how to spell?

            and again, you’ve confused “using” something with “how it works”, making everything you’ve written meaningless nonsense.

              I am not confusing these things. To make stuff with AI, you have to understand how it functions at some level. Just like to use a shovel, you have to understand that the blade penetrates the ground, and you have to put weight on it to help it go deeper. Then use like a lever to pull up dirt.

              I do not mean that someone needs to learn how to make a shovel itself.

              You understand there’s “how something is made” and “how something is used” and both are “how something works” right? Anatomy versus physiology.

              You don’t know what a typo is, sweaty? I have a thumb injury, makes it hard to type 👍
