      LLMs are tools and tools can be useful.

      In Burgerland, the tools are used (and overused to the point of environmental ruin) by tools.

        I agree, they are tools. But they’re as useful as the material they’re trained on… which so far in the west has meant the curated ones spew lib talking pieces, and the fully open ones immediately become Nazis

          I was trying to be generous to the fucking things, which can be hard considering what techbros and proselytizers say about them.

            No problem, honestly I find it more hilarious than not. By their brainrot, in every space/context/niche, the west is sowing the seeds of its own obsolescence (IMO). Would be better if not, just like it would be better if we all didn’t have to live amongst the mess, but at least “evil will not win” or whatever (in contrast to China’s ever-increasing triumphs, and the development of other nations of the global south).
