wall-e was mistaken in thinking that the future would be marked by *physical* dependence on robots rather than mental dependence
I do firmly believe that refusing to outsource your basic cognitive functions to LLMs right now - as so many are stumbling over themselves to do right now, like hogs trotting to a pile of slop that’s been set up inside of a butcher’s delivery truck - will very much pay off in a few years.

Right now, unfolding around us on a global scale, is a rich and unambiguous lesson on the dangers of fossil fuel dependence. The most obvious solution is for the affected countries to reduce their dependence through clean energy.

studies literally just came out about how dependence on LLMs atrophies critical thinking abilities
If you have zero education, but learn how to ask AI models the right questions , in many jobs you will be able to outperform someone with an advanced degree, but who is unwilling to use Large Language Models.
Just takes a smartphone, curiosity to experiment and a mindset to learn.

Car dependence is a choice
They say “We can’t do that. We’re not Amsterdam.” You reply “Amsterdam wasn’t always like that either” and show before & after transformations illustrating how the cities we admire made CHOICES, and changed. They try new excuses. You don’t accept them either. (1e van der Helststraat, 1978 & 2005)

"The Russian economy's dependence on energy and metal exports, most of which are sold to China, makes it increasingly vulnerable to fluctuations in demand in the Chinese market and increases its dependence on Beijing."

one of the biggest arguments against AI dependence is that the strongest proponents of its use have become visibly *dumber* in the last few years.
It really does feel like a lot of formerly reasonable people have been infected by some sort of terrifying brain parasite when it comes to unthinking and total acceptance of using AI tools
Absolute worst part, imo, is the pressure from school administrators to "welcome our new overlords" by adopting AI. It's also happening in elite universities, to my utter bafflement & horror. Anyone who calls bullshit on AI is treated as if only ignorance could explain their perspective.
