I am an autistic 41 year old man that lives in my parents basement. I just collect information and re-distribute it where it is needed.
I am basically the pre-cursor to an LLM, an LLM made of meat.
If you’ve ever watched or read anything with that “wise old hermit” that people line up to ask their philosophical questions to. That was an oldendays autistic person of the same type as me. Can’t function in society, but has no emotional thinking to cloud their logic. The thing is, no matter how logical the advice was, and how much it made sense in the moment, it may not have been applicable to normal people. Though I am of course aware of the nature and source of my clarity and try to keep it in mind when giving advice. Unlike the wise hermits of old.
Not to say I am always right, and not to say logic is always the correct solution. But it often is, and I often am.

The next time someone calls me a know-it-all I shall inform them that I am actually just an LLM made of meat.

You might enjoy this graphic novel. A post man with Asperger’s serves a town whose entire population is hiding from the law.
He’s your ‘wise hermit.’
Well as someone who has crewed on race cars and had a hand in building more than a few, not a single word of what you said was wrong.
As an incredibly forgetful neurotypical person with a partner who is on the spectrum, I cannot say how much I appreciate her and you.
