One of the things I like about Hacker News is that it’s just full of the most massive tardbiscuits around, but ones who are still relatively literate. The reason I like this unfortunate state of affairs is that it shows that performing well on de facto tests of verbal and mathematical ability does not actually mean there is any wisdom present.

Much like ChatGPT et al. Aella (I think) said that most people are ChatGPT most of the time. I believe she is correct. “Smart” people mostly in fact are not all that smart.
