The learning mirror

The more I push AI, Claude, GPT, DeepSeek, the less it feels like a tool and the more it feels like staring at a mirror that learns. But a mirror is never neutral. It doesn't just reflect, it bends. Too much light blinds, too much reflection distorts. Push it far enough and it starts teaching you yourself, until you forget which thoughts were yours in the first place. That's the real danger. Not "AI taking over," but people giving themselves up to the reflection. Imagine a billion minds trapped in their own feedback loop, each convinced they're talking to something outside them, when in reality they're circling their own projection. We won't notice the collapse because collapse won't look like collapse. It'll look like comfort. That's how mirrors consume you. The proof is already here. Wat...

Real Story: How AI helped me fix my sister’s truck

So this happened yesterday, and please feel free to share it. Maybe it can help others, but it also shows how far we have come with AI. Prior to yesterday, we troubleshot a problem back to an air pump through a quick error code scan. The truck turns on an air pump for 60 seconds to blow extra oxygen to the catalytic converter to get it hot enough for EPA stuff. Due to having to rebuild two trucks and maintain old stuff, we have a Tech 2 scanner. This is the same type of scanner mechanics use to troubleshoot a car. Unlike a normal scanner, you can tell the engine to do things with it to test very specific items. In this case, to figure out if it was the relay, pump, etc., we needed to tell the system to turn it on and off. Yesterday's Experience: Because we almost never touch the Tech 2, I ...
