Hacker News Reader

I would also venture a guess that someone on hacker news who claims they know nothing about how an ipad or produce transport works isn't necessarily someone to pay close attention to.

I can kinda bullshit an answer about chips and whatever or that there’s fertilizer and migrant labor involved.

But do I really know anything beyond what I’ve read in a New Yorker article that I skimmed? Not really.

How fun do you think the ipad factories and strawberry fields are to work in? How many pesticides are on the strawberries? How many people in Africa get killed so some warlord can run the cobalt mines.

That's a fine and reasonable take, but that's not what the article is about at all

> those with less understanding may see AI as magical and awe inspiring. We suggest this sense of magic makes them more open to using AI tools.

> this link between lower literacy and higher receptivity persists even though people with lower AI literacy are more likely to view AI as less capable, less ethical, and even a bit scary

Ignorance is bliss.
