$250M ballroom paid for by private donors? - Means it's paid for by the public.
$250M paid into his pocket by tax payers but he's going to donate it? - Means he's not going to donate it.
A golden age for America now that he's here? - Means a dark age is coming.

They’re seeking the death penalty for him and Luigi Mangione but they only ever seek life when someone goes into a schoolhouse and slaughters 25 children.

That article has a lot of claims and not a single actual statistic or source — not one. If we’re going to talk about serious issues like the 2008 recession people ought to be serious enough to include literally anything to back it up. Didn’t anyone do at least a high school research project?

I bet you’re going to say “that’s ML not LLMs!”. Oh, I see, so the only form of ML that is bad is the one most accessible to the general public? The one available for people w/o the technical expertise to run ML for more specific use cases?

And when I don’t need your students to render services for me while getting paid unfairly because they passed through your precious gates while others did not.

The real reason you and everyone like you hates AI is because it’s loosening the white collar’s grip on gatekeeping socio-economic mobility. What will you do when I don’t need your school because the tools to learn have finally been democratized?

We can’t even know if these posts you make are genuine opinions because your last post is literally an advertisement for your product.

It’s sad that you can’t even engage in this discussion seriously because you’ve written a book solidifying your position. You could never change your opinion because your own economic success is tied to pounding your own drum about this issue.

Honestly your whole argument seems to be that it’s not a bad technology, but that the public is just too stupid to use it responsibly.

4. Is the worst of them all. It’s not a good source of information access? Before posting I tried to find the sources about the fusion breakthrough using AI and the protein creation. I spent 5 minutes with no luck, with LLM I had the source. But what if it’s wrong? Good thing I can click the URL...

3.2 Or I should instead find a less tailored version available on the App Store that will charge a subscription, use my data against me? Instead of having control, independence? Because of a potential security vulnerability in an app that runs locally on my machine without internet connection?

3.1 I used LLM to analyze trends in my schedule that were most associated with burnout and then work to create a local application that tracks these metrics and warns me of impending burnout. What are you suggesting? That I pay for someone on 5iver to do it for me instead of using the free option?

3. Don’t code because it might have security vulnerabilities is the exact same line of thinking as the first two. Like saying to summarize because it might have errors. You’re suggesting a coder not use it, save potentially hours of the day because they’re not capable of evaluating the result?
April 24, 2025 at 6:22 PM
2.1 What do you actually suggest then if you don’t think we’re capable of scrutinizing and evaluating and coming to our own decisions regarding summarized content?
April 24, 2025 at 6:21 PM
2. Don’t summarize because you might get incorrect information or have information omitted? That’s true of literary all summarization. Don’t skim then, don’t read synopses, and you may as well strike using Wikipedia off your list, since that too can have incorrect information.

1. Don’t polish a set of notes because the skill will entropy? Don’t use a calculator then, don’t use a word processor or spreadsheet software for quick results. That argument could literally be applied to all automation. You may as well say “don’t use automation or the skill with entropy”.

Your example use cases are overly simplistic and your reasoning for not applying them doesn’t seem to hold water to me.

What an ignorant stance. Describing the foundation of a technology does not negate its utility. AI was used to solve protein folding, AI is used to create new novel proteins with potentially profound use cases. AI was used to calibrate the lasers for the LLNL’s recent fusion breakthrough. Etc.
