Nascent thought of the day: parallels between “wisdom of crowds” and LLMs. I have a feeling that there could be a lot of overlap in their mechanisms, as well as in the sets of people who attribute intelligence to those entities. Maybe that’s part of why investors are so excited (among other reasons.) Pondering continues. #Attribution #belief #markets #informationProcessing #ai

Apologetics is the discipline of defending religious doctrines through systematic argumentation and discourse. It plays a crucial role in addressing doubts and misconceptions about faith. Engaging in apologetics can strengthen one's belief and provide clarity in discussions with skeptics. #Faith #Apologetics #Christianity #Reason #Belief

Consider the epistemological problem with knowledge itself. I consider Lakatos and Gettier and problems of belief.

BREAKING:
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE CAUSES ORGANIC HYSTERIA 💎AI presses several #old human fear buttons at once.
It threatens work, status, expertise, authorship, privacy, and the comforting #belief that intelligence belongs especially to human beings.
AI also arrives through enormous companies people already distrust, so the fears are not entirely irrational.
Then there is the fear of losing #control
Most people understand a hammer.
AI is also a #tool, but it is harder to see into. It changes quickly, sometimes gets things wrong with amazing confidence, and can sound far more capable than it really is.
That uncertainty invites #projection
But AI also exposes something uncomfortable.
Much of human #activity was already formulaic.
Even parts of #journalism and professional #commentary .
When a machine can imitate these things, people are forced to ask how original they were in the first place.
The sensible position is neither to worship AI nor panic about it.
AI is a powerful human-made tool operating inside imperfect systems.
It can help.
It can deceive.
It can save time.
It can waste resources.
It can widen access.
It can concentrate power.
It can produce brilliance and slop, often in the same hour.
The question is not whether it is pure.
Nothing in this world is.
The question is whether it can be used consciously, critically, and without surrendering human judgement.
A tool becomes dangerous when it is mistaken for an authority.
It also becomes dangerous when fear prevents us from understanding it properly.

A quotation from La Rochefoucauld
We are stubborn because we are narrow-minded; it is hard to believe what is beyond the scope of our vision.
[La petitesse de l’esprit fait l’opiniâtreté, et nous ne croyons pas aisément ce qui est au delà de ce que nous voyons.]François VI, duc de La Rochefoucauld (1613-1680) French epigrammatist, memoirist, noble

A quotation from Barrie, James:
«
PETER: (baldly) You see, Wendy, when the first baby laughed for the first time, the laugh broke into a thousand pieces and they all went skipping about, and that was the beginning of fairies. And now when every new baby is born its first laugh becomes a fairy. So there ought to be one fairy for every boy or girl.
WEN…

#Understanding #transmedicalism and its #controversies.
#Transmedicalism, also known as “#truscum,” asserts that being #transgender is inherently tied to experiencing #genderdysphoria, a #belief that their #assigned #sex at #birth does not #align with their #genderidentity, and requires undergoing a #medical #transition.

Ayaan's story is unique: she transitioned from #Islam to #atheism, and more recently, has expressed interest in #Christianity.
What drives someone to change their #religious #beliefs? Is it a search for #truth, a need for community, or something else?
And when it comes to #religion, what makes a #belief 'true' or 'worthwhile'?
