We all have strong opinions on a lot of things, but what's something you really don't have a strong opinion on? (reddthat.com)

Pretty easy to motivate your own learning:

Does your nation fund or is complicit in supporting Israel?
Are your tax dollars being used to vaporize children?
Now do you have an opinion, or at least are willing to watch a documentary or something?

Why don't you ask your favorite AI to tell you what to think then?

Honestly I would rather say "I don't know" than adopt some random opinion from some AI bot. And I think you should prefer people saying "I don't know" rather than just following what the AI bots are saying. Do you really want AI bots to decide this stuff?

I want you to repeat that to yourself, slowly.

Is it just that you only care when it starts happening to you? Or is it just that since you do not know yet, you simply cannot know or care? Why not just shock your brain to forget everything that bothers you, you'll be so happy!
