Okay, could someone point me to a good #NoAI / #NoLLM manifesto to link to?

S-cones (which respond to short wavelengths) are very few in the fovea center
so causing a so-called S-cone blind spot
(Williams et al., 1981)
but they peak in number on the foveal slope at about 12% of the population

S-Cone Pathways by Helga Kolb
There are differences in the genetic structure and locus of the S-cone visual pigment compared with the L- and M-cone pigments (Nathans et al., 1986), yet the S-cones are common to all vertebrate retinas and always form a consistent 8-10% of the cone photoreceptor population (Marc, 1982; Kolb and Lipetz, 1991).The S-cones are however, very few in the fovea center so causing a so-called S-cone blind spot (Williams et al., 1981) but they peak in number on the foveal slope at about 12% of the popu…

Building the Bionic Eye: An Emerging Reality and Opportunity
Once the topic of folklore and science fiction, the notion of restoring vision to the blind is now approaching a tractable reality. Technological advances have inspired numerous multidisciplinary groups worldwide to develop visual neuroprosthetic ...

LLM-guided development is making #autobahn truly great. Now it decided to arbitrarily start "vendoring" flatbuffers. Except that by "vendoring", they actually mean installing their own top-level `flatbuffers` package as part of `autobahn` (and therefore overwriting the original `flatbuffers`). I wonder how #Google feels about that…
