I use perplexity every day. I'm not afraid of it. BUT I see how kids
are already dumbing down and limiting themselves. AI makes it easier.
My daughter says her kids got a worse education than she did and that
she got a worse one than I did. Humans are lazy and always want to make
stuff easier. It's known as progress. How do you make somebody do
something harder than it has to be just because it's good for them?

BUT what happens when the power goes off? Maybe for only a few hours,
but suddenly I've lost pretty much everything except maybe watering the
lawn or doing other yard work. One switch and we're back 150 years.

Gates can spend his money however he wants, he's still somebody whose
wife dumped him when she found out about Epstein.
My point is that we should know how to do as much stuff by ourselves as
possible, even if we never have to do it. I used to fix cars, but not
the 88 Cad (inherited) which tried to kill me repeatedly by flooring the
accelerator all by itself, and not the 2013 Corolla which has shown no
problems at all so far. But if something goes wrong with the Corolla it
better be the disk brakes, because I'm pretty sure I can deal with those.
