"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Personally I don't care how people convert to the right way of thinking. I care that they do it.
This purity test mentality is what kills movements.
Fair.
I was a petty church boy until people who were kind enough to challenge my beliefs without belittling me. If I had been shunned for not getting it about then president Dubya, I might have become a very different person.
Exactly this here. All this purity posturing drives people away from movements.
I like to borrow a phrase from Stratagem Twenty-Two (Catch the Thief by Closing His Escape Route):
Roughly translated it means, "When you surround an army, you must leave an outlet; do not press a desperate enemy too hard."
Translating this into social movements, I'd express it as, "Leave room for redemption; don't shun the opposition forever".
Because if people think there's no path to redemption, they won't try to redeem themselves. They'll go further down the path that you don't like.
