LLMs are, out of the box, "pretty good" at low-skill coding problems (more, if you know what you're doing). But they are not good at other kinds of problems. This is an issue when our economy is run by STEMlords who believe low-skill coders have special insight from which all answers can be derived

Dentists get depressed because they deal with the only part of the skeleton you can see, which is pretty spooky, so they’re getting spooked all day

One theory I have is that competence, self-control, responsibility, and expertise have all been feminized, leaving “masculinity” with the realm of impulsivity and petulance. So the divide is not really between “femininity” and “masculinity” so much as between adulthood and childishness.
Everything else aside, the idea that this is a model for many men of *masculinity* is so wild. This? This is "manly"? This is how people think it's cool to act?

All I can figure with the MAGAt plastic face thing is that it's "women displaying they will mutilate themselves for the attention of men that despise them."
Which was traditionally handled on an emotional level but these days I guess nobody understands a metaphor.

It is not unfrequent to hear men declaim loudly upon liberty, who, if we may judge by the whole tenor of their actions, mean nothing else by it but their own liberty, — to oppress without control or the restraint of laws all who are poorer or weaker than themselves.
