  • Eh, I use Gemini to project manage my little herb garden. Low stakes, well trodden ground. It was the kind of thing I knew LLMs could handle for stuff I do know about, so I’m trusting it for something I don’t know about.

    Ultimately it doesn’t matter if my herbs live or die, I know I’ll kill them on my own though. Gardening isn’t a skill I want to actively acquire, I just want the herbs. It (the garden) is doing fine. I had some yellow leaves, the bot said to top dress it, I did, no more yellow leaves. So far so good.

    Anything beyond the well trodden LLMs are shit at though. I tried to use it to find a specific motorcycle part, discontinued by the manufacturer: it couldn’t. When I wanted it to shop for me, it failed. It seems to be doing well managing this non-commercial project for me.

















  • The fact that it was legally mandated is good evidence that it is [necessary].

    P1 If X was legally mandated then that is good evidence that X is necessary.

    P2 Slavery was legally mandated (in the USA)

    C1 There is good evidence slavery is necessary.

    P3 [insert other silly/abhorrent thing here: ICE in general, state murder…] was legally mandated.

    C2 There is good evidence silly/abhorrent thing is necessary.

    Personally I’d reject P1, the law isn’t an arbitrator of mortality, or truth. Due to C2 I’d side eye anyone who says it is.
