I’ll take a case of 12 please!

I had to look up the black-footed cat.

What a beast.

So I’ve been utilizing the big LLMs to help increase my productivity at work. And I have to say, yes, it absolutely makes me more productive.

However, I can only be more productive because I already have 25 years of experience in my field and I am already a senior and I can guide the “AI” to what I really need help with and I can see the mistakes it makes.

There is absolutely no way someone who hasn’t already been doing this job for 25 years would be able to just sit down with an AI assistant and replace me.

And my company has not hired any associate level employees who could replace me. All my peers are 5-7 years away from retirement. I’m 11 years away from retirement.

Sure. That’s causality that you’re talking about.

I’m just talking about young people thinking they know more about life than us olds. Causality aside, younger you would ignore your insanely accurate advice, just because that’s what they do. Everyone has to learn things the hard way.

You know that thought experiment where you have a time machine and can go back in time and tell younger you how to avoid all those mistakes you made…ya know, don’t date that person, don’t go to that party, don’t drop out of that class, don’t be afraid of that bully?

Yeah, younger you would 100% ignore older you’s advice because you’re old.

Cause 30 is old? Oof…

Just drink water. You’ve ruined yourself over all these years by drinking juice/soda/Brawndo. You keep buying into the lie that “you don’t like water”.

You’ll get used to it and eventually come to want water. It’s literally what your body craves. Humans have existed for 300 millenia; mass produced sugary drinks have only existed for what, 100 years? You’ve evolved to drink water.

I’ve owned two Suzuki Samurais at different times in my life as my primary mode of transportation for a total of about 12 years of my life. Somehow I managed to keep all 4 wheels on the ground the whole time…well except for the times I purposefully took it airborne. Which both Samurais also had no problem with.
