@sneeden look at this thread and laugh https://typo.social/@behdad/116172838540880597
@RustyCrab @sneeden i'm not the biggest ai bro in the world but the more time goes on the more a lot of these people look like they're just descending into unhinged luddism

@pettanko @sneeden i dont know what to make of a statement like this. It's completely bewildering to me. "Yeah this guys been writing software for 20 years but one prompt in and he is reduced to the intellect of a toddler pulling a slot machine". This is directly insulting a guy that he said he had respect for.
Either this is some form of zealotry i can barely wrap my head around or these peoples brains work on such a fundamentally different level that it explains why everything they touch becomes dysfunctional

@RustyCrab @sneeden @pettanko No, I can tell you what this is. Virtue signalling and egotism; thinking you are better than everyone just because you didn't touch the forbidden demon called LLM.
I've seen this so many times already that I'm tempted to just write a blog post about it to vent.
