  • Hmm, well i can’t really speak to any of that. But for the greater good, unions are a good thing. I understand that it makes difficult for you though.

    I’d throw the obvious stuff at you like, but it’s kinda hard to get an idea of what could possibly help without knowing you.

    I do know that i’ve had to change my attitude a few times in life to get by though, i don’t think autism should be used as an excuse to not have to do the hard thing everyone has to do (but is harder for us).

    Right now, the only advice i can give is to try to channel that resentment into motivation to improve yourself. Trying and failing is so much more valuable than just giving up and being angry about it.

    But yeah, i do have it easier than most so maybe it’s not my place to say things like that. I do wish you the best though.

    I do feel the same way about things being easier alone though. i would be much happier and productive doing my own thing, I have a ton of software projects i work on, somd even make a bit of money, but running business seems scary since my administration skills are shit and customers are acary.



  • ChatGPT is overly safe in terms of personality and the worldview it presents when asked. it’s a great tool to learn, more so than a teacher because you can freely ask it very specific questions in your own words and it will give an understandable answer. I think it’s actually a perfect tool for someone that age. Once the topics get too advanced, the results become less reliable though.

    It doesnt make things up anymore as much as it used to. It still does sometimes with topics that are less commonly discussed in the dataset it’s trained on (this is similar with websearch). It will however confidently claim that it’s answer is correct sometimes. As long as you understand that it’s not always correct and have the sense to verify things that seem off, you’ll be fine.

    You’ll get the best results from the paid GPT4 subscription (20 dollars a month), which i would recommend.

    The only real risk i see is overreliance on it. I notice this in myself too, it’s almost like i forgot googling things is an option, so when i’m stuck rather than trying another approaxh, i just keep throwing prompts at GPT-4 until i give up and find the solution elsewhere, often within minutes. The way things are going, classic web search is becoming obsolete (unreliable result because of AI written content and fake news) while AI actively tries to be unbiased.

    tldr: Yes, it’s extremely useful, make sure they don’t forget how to do things without chatgpt too.
