    some of us were born without navigation, just as some of us were born with arithmetic-defect, or dyslexia, or face-blindness, or whatever.

    We are locked-out without such help.

    There is a balance between using help you actually-need, vs indulging-in-having-one’s-capability-displaced-by-help.

    THAT is the thing that is making AI into the lethal-recreational-drug that it’s turning into.

    People using it to substitute for reality, instead of using it for brainstorming & intelligently-condensing, or for editing-critique, etc.

    If I ever get my not-for-profit started-up ( health problems come 1st ), then at this point I expect to have to fire about 19/20 of the people I hire, just because “if YOU sign-off on it, then YOU wrote it” … just “does not compute”, anymore, in this fake-fake-fake everything world.

    When I found out that some people have a defect in their language-brain such that they CANNOT get spelling to work in English ( because their spelling is always auditory, & English is engineered to make that not-work ) … & then I found out that dyslexia is MUCH worse in English than it is in Italian, same root-problem … then I began understanding that English is engineered to lock-out many people, & I’d been blind to that…

    just providing alternative-context, is all.

    It’s the same as the “in the old days, the tough survived, & that was the right way” … yeah, except that accepting such a stupidly-high needless-death-rate to produce those few “successes” … was sociopathic, by today’s standards.

    shows why broken-necks were so common in playgrounds, back in the early-photography days…

    Nowadays children are DRASTICALLY more-likely to reach adulthood, & I think that’s a good thing … so the “weeding out” isn’t quite so heavy-handed, now.

    All disabilities, though, can be rigged into a weeding-out.

    The shorter-lifespan of left-handed people ( enforced stress ) is but 1 example of systemic-bias’s effects…

    & I’m saying that over-relying on AI will, itself, produce a reduction-in-viability.

    The “easy money: getting without giving” culture’s narcissism … isn’t going anywhere!
