increasingly believing much of the communication gap between LLM Enthusiasts and LLM Skeptics on this website boils down to “are you someone who has largely experienced a *reasonable* amount of job security in tech, or are you someone who has not experienced job security and likely aren’t in tech”

I don't think "LLM Enthusiasts" is a monolithic group. There are people who use AI cautiously and mostly for coding (like me). There are others who have fully drunk the cool-aid. These tend to be executives and aspiring executives. These groups are different.

I do think Bluesky is a useful forum for debating "what is a responsible subject area to use AI, and how much use is acceptable". But I don't think the rabid AI boosters are really on here.

This is why I found the weird wagon-circling around this guy perplexing

I disliked the screenshotted post, but personally it's because I don't think we can say ANYTHING about consciousness with 100% certainty
