@denisbloodnok@mendeddrum.org You're really going to assert "nothing new here" and then as "evidence" supply hypotheticals? If you have any evidence to bring I'd be interested in hearing it; otherwise, please save both of us some time, thanks.

Something I wish journalists understood better: anyone can nominate an article for deletion on Wikipedia, which kicks off a week-long discussion — even if the article is perfectly acceptable and will ultimately be kept. -

That's definitely new.

I like to poke LinkedIn once in awhile with an "AI" critique to see what I can stir up.@SnoopJ@hachyderm.io Right down to actually holding the bad view while pretending to rise above it all!

I like to poke LinkedIn once in awhile with an "AI" critique to see what I can stir up.I like to poke LinkedIn once in awhile with an "AI" critique to see what I can stir up. One reason I do this is to keep an eye on the changing form of the booster rhetoric. Nowadays a lot of folks respond to critique with some form of "today's LLMs are bad but tomorrow's will be amazing", the true believer/quasi-religious response with a touch of false humility for flavor. Yesterday I got a "AI critics are just as bad as AI boosters" false dichotomy, which by my read was a variant of the "AI critics are hysterical and irrational" with the twist that the speaker was suggesting that boosters are too. That felt new-ish to me. Granted, the hubristic "we're the smart guys in the room, you should do what we say" framing is ancient in the tech industry. Suggesting the boosters are also not the smart guys in the room is an interesting move because it's an attempt to go meta. Neither the boosters nor the critics are the smart guys in the room; the smart guys in the room are actually the ones who can see that (and so you should do what they say, which is more LLMs always).
