    I still struggle with a use case for artificial intelligence in my own life. I play around with it all and I’m just like, it doesn’t do a good job. Also, I think humanity is missing the plot, you know? Like, we don’t need government. If government isn’t going to do government. Government serves the people, not corporations. Or at least it should. I don’t know, I think we’re entering in times. At some point, I think people will pray for nuclear war, because life will be so miserable. That it would be better than just to end it all.

      Actual AI?

      Imagine your phone knows that you have a business meeting downtown today. It’s already reserved a parking space for you, set your car to warm up before you leave and looped your contact in on your ETA, along with automatically notifying you of any delays. Then, your kid wakes up this morning in with a horrible toothache, you ask your phone what to do and it rings up your family dentist, who has a full schedule today, but makes you a referral nearby. You agree to try that other dentist today, and your AI books an appointment, checks your meeting today, coordinates with their AIs and approves a 15 minute delay so you can get to the dentist. It also notifies your kid’s school of their absence and has their teachers AI automatically queued up to send transcripts, notes and homework assignmenta from today’s classes.

      That’s the kind of stuff actual AI can do. Overgrown autocorrect? It’s basically a multi-billion dollar Magic Eightball.

      Like, we don’t need government.

      Welcome to the anarchist. Now you have to pick your flavor! Social Anarcho-syndicalism, Anarcho comunist, anarcho-capitalism, anarcho christianis, and the list goes on!

      I found LLMs helpfuls to develop some scripts and answer some simple trivial questions (like how does house property work in China). I could have looked for that in a regular search engine though. But that’s it, I am still happy looking for things myself and investigating since you can’t really trust their answers.
