    Well, BIG TIMI is either a bot or has a serious Twitter problem, as he’s posted 31 times in the past 17 hours, every hour:

    …And he pays for Twitter.

    To bring intellectualism back into his life, maybe he should consider that.


    Not that I have much of a leg to stand on, being on Lemmy a bit much, but still.

    The thing is, expertise can manifest as tyranny.

    Rather than using education to find our way around this and equalize power, we’ve just made stupid-fascism and expert hegemony because everyone with certification is sick of a guy on Facebook who describes himself as a ‘ball talking influencer’ telling them their 20 years as senior person at the CDC on the front lines of epidemiology and decade of med school are worth nothing.

    We must never improve. Nothing must ever improve.

    Look, I have no qualifications at all, but I did read a blog post. So I’m pretty sure I know what I’m talking about

      Well at least you’ve read something which puts you ahead of most anti-vaxxers, who just rely on Facebook videos.

      I hate to disagree with you, but I’be honestly got a feeling and I can’t think of a better reason than that.

    Could just say we need to get rid of anti-intellectualism but has to be phrased in the most provocative way possible because it’s on social media 🙄

      No, we need to reform the education system and make studying affordable. So Joe Schmo, your weird uncle and all the Yoga Mommy’s can go to university and find out exactly how they measure up to the rest of the country. And maybe in the process they can make some good friends and learn something about themselves.

        That sounds like “getting rid of anti-intellectualism,” and the literal opposite of “intellectual elitism.”

    Don’t forget that only 9 out of 10 dentists recommend toothpaste and you can be damn sure that last one is the one giving out medical advice on social media.

    interesting that the post didn’t say “daddy-blogger”. hopefully this isn’t a symptom of site-wide subtle misogyny

    You say this, but I got banned from a sub for being a corporate shill for trying to explain to what I’m pretty sure was a 13 year old kid that AI is not going to dissapear and that it’s not just a fun toy used to make shitty TikTok videos

    I would explain what AI Agents were and how they worked and what they did and I was told I was a troll that like to suck my bosses dick… and then I was banned

    My job? Software engineer. Been one for over 20 years.

    Those same people that called me a troll, a shill, a company man that liked to suck my bosses dick; the mods that banned me; they are all probably here right now talking about how stupid it is that people don’t listen to experts…

      I’m 37, you stupid fucking shill.

      And you are not a software developer. I don’t believe you. I don’t believe you have 20 years experience at being alive.

      You’re a 1 week old account, and all you’ve done is shill AI non stop (with arguments that are wrong and uninformed).

      I think that supposed 13 year old is smarter than you, and I also think the mod was probably in the right.

      Oh, also. AI as in LLMs and agents is not the future. The fact that you’re a software engineer means nothing, you either are a bot or drank the kool aid. And after seeing you say lies such as “AI is already not a failure” or that is has done new things “more than any other invention in human history”, I don’t know if I should believe that you are a software engineer.

        This is what I’m talking about…

        Deep Learning had a major breakthrough around 2012 with ImageNet. What we know today is already 14 years old. It wasn’t as good as it is today, or as accessible 14 years ago, but it was around. And people really think the world is just going to decide to forget we invented it any day now

    When I first heard this news I got the latest publicly available version of GPT, with reasoning enabled, to tell me that it’s possible that Ivermectin could cure cancer to prove to myself that the claim was bullshit.

    They will never be able to train out the confirmation bias from the lie machine.

        Logical reasoning can only derive conclusions from assumptions. Unless you can have all true facts that exists in the world as an input, it wouldn’t work.

    Nope. Intellectual elitism, or elitism of any sort, promotes classism and conflict. What you need are first, “intellectual communicators”, people that can explain complex concepts in an accessible manner. Second, you need educators that will/can actually teach and finally a public receptive to education.
