Re:Why people reward innate talent over hard work on Saturday May 27, 2023 @10:23AM (#36095060)
They are slow so they have to work hours to complete what would take a smart person minutes. So they can “look” like they are working harder. But you are right. Now that I think of it, never met a dumb hard working person. That’s why I do not think AI will make any dumb person smarter by “personalize” learning experience. How many dumb people do you think are using ChatGPT to satisfy their “curiosity”?

Get a sleep test. It turned out that I had severe sleep apnea and using cPap has been god send. I rarely dreamed before cPap, but now I dream almost everyday and dreams are vivid too.
Thanks for the input. It makes sense.
a bit off topic, how much time does your spouse spend on Facebook? I just peeked at her iPhone time tracking thingy and it's 26 hours a week. That sounds crazy to me. The scarier thing is that she doesn't see anything wrong with it. But I can't say anything to her; I chose being happy than being right. But then again not very happy either. Oh well.

You nailed it. I am still trying to figure out what his take is on Covid-19. He doesn't seem to offer any concrete solution/opinion to anything really.
Thank you for this. I will watch this scene whenever I act as if I "own" my kids.

Amazon customer service folks should ask a caller to name some of items he/she has purchased last few weeks or so.
