Driving off “AI” fans is good, actually.

The spittle-flecked frothing-at-the-mouth cohort has definitely brought about a tremendous amount of self-censorship...

Same experience here. I don't want to talk that much about #LLM s here because of the knee-jerk reactions, even from people whose opinions I value and would like to follow in other topics (which is why I haven't started blocking and muting them). bsky.app/profile/jmko...

Will you be doing a more nuanced thread to get the ball rolling? Or maybe @mcuban.bsky.social

Oh, definitely not, I just saw it is overly negative rather than your more nuanced academic interpretation?

When you respond to a post that's more than 48 hours old that went even semi-viral, there is almost zero chance your post says anything new that the OP hasn't seen *many* times by now. That's the nature of social media, I guess, but amazing how many people don't really grasp it (or choose not to)

I think this is a disgusted response to an intellectual and economic bubble. When tulip mania took over the Dutch Republic, the appropriate response was not measured discussion.

not my problem

How much of this is outsourcing blocklists to the most polarized of participants?

Oh and James guess what? Contrary to what you may believe not everyone lives in large cities. You might want to think about those people.

And you’re enjoying that? You’re OK with it doing everything it’s doing in your area because if you are, let’s send them all your way! Sounds like a perfect solution to what you want and what the rest of us want.

..they literally said they do.

As an ND person I find Copilot incredibly helpful as a starter for 10. I throw in my brain work shit & ask it to help sort it out. This might involve multiple (10’s) of iterations. So please don’t tell me I’m crap for finding this v helpful. I’ve heard I’m crap too much in my life already.

Sounds like you lost in the marketplace of ideas! Sucks to suck!

Hey man do you think we are also not bored and frustrated by having to constantly repeat ourselves all the time? Do you think that anyone who is harmed by this stuff actually wants to spend tons of their own time trying to convince people in your position? Because I assure you: it actually sucks!

People need to make a habit of openly disagreeing with people who share their conclusions but have arrived at them for the wrong reasons. I'd call myself an AI sceptic (I think it's not as good or useful as people believe) but also despair a lot of the misinformed critique.
