I’m interested in developing the skill to estimate probabilities for real-world situations. What are the best ways to learn this systematically? Are there books, courses, or exercises that teach probabilistic thinking, Bayesian reasoning, or practical forecasting skills?

I want to check this math and see if the AI is gaslighting me.

    Understanding and being correct are two different things my lord. Generative AI can be correct most of the time, while understanding 0%

      it can also be INcorrect most of the time!!

      ANY mind “educated” by ingesting the internet … isn’t going to be high on accuracy!!

      People NEED to understand that getting parts of reddit out of LLM’s proves its untrustworthiness!!

        The internet is way bigger than social media sites, FYI

        People NEED to understand that getting parts of reddit out of LLM’s proves its untrustworthiness!!

        I’ve no idea what what you’re trying to say with this

          Sorry, neither do I: must have been either tired, or otherwise-stupider…

          There are 2 probable intents:

          1. getting swathes of reddit being produced by LLM’s prove LLM’s untrustworthiness.

          &

          1. LLM’s getting their training partly by ingesting reddit, proves their untrustworthiness.

          number-2 is the only 1 that makes sense to my instinct, but I’m sorry I totally-borked the idea-to-typing job.
