This extraordinarily empathetic viewpoint from @… (this post and the threaded follow-up) resonates when I transpose it to students using LLMs on coursework in ways that are either sloppy or outright cheating. https://social.coop/@majdal/115663307714695906

I wonder how well the low-curiosity people incompetently running our mostly-idle government have understood the nature of who government helps the most.
HINT: If government help was mostly for the poor, we would not have both billionaires and homelessness.
Air traffic control is a state-socialist subsidy service. It exists to make commercial passenger and cargo airlines feasible, an unevenly-distributed benefit. Reducing capacity by 10% won't affect 90% of Americans.

Big Think is pop-sci drivel with a questionable cast of ‘experts’ that still lives on MechaHitler’s CSAM-generating platform and (based on its accessibility statement) uses an overlay (I block them, so not sure which).
An author citing Ayn Rand is just icing.

Fascinating story from a software dev Fedi friend, shared with permission to keep it anonymous:
❝A couple of days ago, I had an experience at work that made me understand one of the reasons why the chasm of opinion about LLMs is so deep and wide.
My department mostly does fiddly lowlevel work, [close to hardware]. A few of us don't use LLMs at all, a few use them sparingly, and one member is absolutely all-in. So during one of our morning meetings he suddenly started going off on a deeply disturbing diatribe about how we need to treat the LLMs “like slaves”.❞
