On AI and the Disappointment of LLMs
If you have spent any time on the internet in the last few months, you've heard about ChatGPT. ChatGPT is the most user friendly and accessible version of the currently en vogue form of artificial intelligence (AI), large language models (LLMs).
You may have heard people describe these as beginning to show "sparks of real general intelligence" or describing how knowledge workers will all be replaced, or you may have heard this version of AI disparaged as "complicated next-word-predictors."
I'm here to tell you it doesn't matter which side you're on, because either way, this isn't the future we imagined, but it's the one we deserve.
We thought that our AI would be omniscient, fact-filled, analytical. If you have played with previous generations of AI experiments, they knew the facts, they just stumbled on understanding and communicating with us. LLMs are the opposite.
LLMs are consummate bullshitters. They will take any position with equal aplomb. They will make up citations to papers never written by authors who don't exist. They will claim to understand what you are saying, and reply with confidence. Accuracy, understanding, a model of the world? Not important.
Instead of the calculating, inhuman precision of machines with human faces, our AI is a reflection of ourselves—jumbled facts strung together with slick used car salesperson patter. Anything to get you to the next prompt. We have created the liberal arts business bro of AI—incredible breadth, and truly incomprehensible depth, or lack thereof.
I think a lot about joint pain and how to solve it—seems like everyone deals with it at some point, right? Whether it's from old injuries, just getting older, or even something like arthritis, it’s tough to avoid. But here’s the thing: a lot of the pain we feel isn’t just from the wear and tear of the past. It’s also because we’re not moving in ways that our joints really need. - https://cutt.ly/geEIQm6A
I used to think I could blame my joint pain on all the sports I played back in the day, but it turns out, it’s not just about what I did. It’s about what I’m not doing now. Pain isn’t just a nuisance; it’s a signal that something’s off. And while meds can help temporarily, they don’t fix the underlying issue. I’ve learned that joints actually crave pressure—the right kind, of course. It’s this pressure that keeps them healthy and mobile.
I found a way to give my joints the attention they need without doing anything intense or painful. It’s all about slow, mindful movement that actually helps your body heal from the inside out. It’s not exercise in the traditional sense—no sweating or heavy breathing—just a gentle, consistent practice that’s made a world of difference for me. What’s cool is that you don’t have to spend hours each day doing this. Just a little time, a few times a week, and you can start to see and feel the difference. I’ve seen it work wonders, even for people in their 70s and 80s.
Have you ever tried something like this for your joints? I’d love to chat and share what’s been working for me.

Winston here from Iowa. I'm always watching to see what newer sites are going up and I just wanted to see if you would like an extra hand with getting some targeted traffic, Create custom AI bots to answer questions from visitors on your site or walk them through a sales process/funnel - I could even make a persona of yourself or employee to field questions about your business. I create/edit videos/images/adcopy, create/revamp/update sites, remove negative listings, the list goes on. I'll even shoulder 90% of the costs, dedicating my time and tools that I've created myself and bought over the years. I've been doing this for over 22 years, helped thousands of people and have loved every minute of it.
There's virtually no cost on my end to do any of this for you except for my time starting at 99 a month. I don't mean to impose; I was just curious if I could lend a hand.
Brief history, I've been working from home for a couple decades now and I love helping others. I'm married, have three girls and if I can provide for them by helping you and giving back by using the tools and knowledge I've built and learned over the years, I can't think of a better win-win.
It amazes me that no one else is helping others quite like I do and I'd love to show you how I can help out. So, if you need any extra help in any way, please let me know either way as I value your time and don't want to pester you.
PS – If I didn’t mention something you might need help with just ask, I only mentioned a handful of things to keep this brief :-)
All the best,
