  Claude is getting a little bit stupid with probabilities. I think I’ve started believing the LLM a little too much, and have started forgetting how dumb they actually are. It’s not exactly an autocomplete, but it’s not a reasoning machine. To be fair, most people aren’t either. But at least you can have some reasoning episodes, and the LLM cannot (at least still cannot).

  Discipline equals freedom. Except for those things where you should actually stop doing the thing because you obviously don’t want to be doing the thing.

  And except for those things where there’s a systemic pressure which you cannot overcome through sheer force of discipline.

  And except for those things where luck is the most dominant factor.

  And except for those things where you can only invest discipline in a small subset of things, none of which will perform the macro changes necessary for your desired change in life.

  But yeah, discipline equals freedom in all other situations.
