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 internetisn’t going to be high on accuracy!!

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