  • I was pretty good at maths in school, and throughout my adult life there have been times when doing mental math has been helpful.

    I must’ve saved quite a few minutes, perhaps even an hour total.

    But it has never been that important, that using the calculator I always have in my pocket would’ve somehow changed anything in the moment.

    In all, it actually doesn’t feel like that helpful of a skill, though your milage will vary depending on your job.

    In saying that, LLM’s aren’t going anywhere, and the panic around peoples stupification is probably a mask for ignorance or indifference which would exist regardless.

  • Christians think the Earth is 6,000 years old.

    Those who accept the science, and the of the age of the universe, were tricked by Satan, who placed the dinosaur bones in the ground and fucking magic’d them, so when they’re carbon dated, they seem ancient.

    Also the Earth is flat, obviously.
