Again with the strawman. Having reasons to dislike one technology is not tantamount to hating all technology. Autocomplete is fine as assistive technology for people who can't type faster than 15 WPM. Likewise, a spellchecker is a project that has a very clear end, a very clear benefit, it can easily be transparent in how it works, and does not require you to put everything through a brute-force recursive association. There are aspects to technologies that we can appraise and discern whether they're beneficial to us or not.

I don't celebrate cars either, even if they are electric and Chinese. They flatten and alienate the physical environment in a remarkably analogous way to how LLMs flatten and alienate the digital environment.

Vibe code has a lot of externalities, it is slower and less resource efficient in ways that accumulate as further vibe coding goes on, and it doesn't build or hone people's skills. Use of LLMs has directly been shown to diminish attentional and critical thinking capacity. Hell, I remember you personally arguing not too long ago that "something that systematically disincludes the human input is a fascist aesthetic".

We have brought on the age of the mass deepfakes, while cultivating a process that materially/logistically cannot be sustained by the Earth's resources for another 100 years, by looking at tech without broad long-term considerations. Diving faster headfirst into it will not solve our problems.

Data centers (which you can't have LLMs without) were largely bad for humanity before 2022, but in a way that could have possibly been amended by socialist governance. At this point they're just bad for everything except short-term market speculation. The world has not gotten any better in the past 5 years despite spending more on compute and on AI research by several orders of magnitude. It's not going to fix our problems, it's just going to be a crutch that also creates new ones.

If you keep arguing that personal LLMs/genAI are a useful and adaptive thing for society, I might just as well outsource to one and have you talk to it instead. What a great forum we would have then.
