@fancysandwiches@neuromatch.social I agree, that's absolutely a part of it. But I think it's also feeling superior and smart while being absolutely fooled by these billionaires' marketing to the extent that they call it "AI" instead of "LLM" and believe in magical claims from these companies instead of math.
It's probably this contradiction is key to short-circuiting thought and just stopping further thought?

@vie@hachyderm.io oh for sure there's a level of feeling superior to others mixed into this. I reviewed some code this past week that was really bad, super backwards, and nothing like anything I'd seen before, and I said as much in my review, but more diplomatically. I was then lectured about how it's actually really clean, and a "well established" pattern. The problem is that the pattern they said they were using wasn't what was in the code, and my suggestion for what they should do, was actually the pattern they were referencing. They had no idea what they were doing, yet they felt it necessary to tell me that it was well established, and "clean", and that I was wrong.
