@lzg@mastodon.social @autonomousapps@mstdn.social this @anildash@me.dm dork burbles about having definite plans, but he's burbling in bad faith: the truth is that Mr. Dash-Dot-Com doesn't regard the fraudulent marketing of LLMs as a serious problem. I would guess that's where most #tech professionals stand: they've been willing already, for decades, to live with and prosper from a corporate technology sector that's normalized fraud and raising money via false promises. So, lacking any plans himself (beyond preserving a status quo in which he's comfortably placed) he mocks those who have a principled stance against fraudulent technology. Why? Where can any action possibly start, except with principled opposition? The people who insist the most loudly that opponents must have carefully worked-out plans before they can be taken seriously are bad-faith actors like @anildash@me.dm and other people who don't actually care that much whether LLMs are destructive and fraudulent.

  • @lzg@mastodon.social @autonomousapps@mstdn.social @anildash@me.dm Why does it make ANY sense, especially in an Internet conversation—the rough equivalent of having an argument over dinner, perhaps—to be demanding PLANS from people? What's actually wrong with good plain hatred of liars? The #technology sector is saturated with deceit. It's been like that long before the #LLM came into being as an actualization of their bad-faith approach to communication in general. It's a stupid device that can't tell truth from lies, and that's basically how the average tech exec or investor wants to live their whole life. Is there an actual PROBLEM with hating such a thing?
