I have some experience in online discussions, even of very deep, complicated, and nuanced discussions. Email discussion lists can work well for those. Usenet could as well, back when I was using it.

A medium that mostly has short messages, such as the fediverse, is not good at it in my experience.

Regardless, any medium requires some form of moderation to keep flame baiting, trolling, and outsiders with no stake in the topic from derailing the discussion.

Trying very hard not to rebut somebody's "ugh, more LLM drama? just do the work, people!" viewpoint with "TBF you /do/ work at one of the LLM vendors".

Like, they're not /wrong/ about drama sucking energy out of the room, nor is the implication that there's an element of kneejerk hysteria in any LLM related topic, inaccurate.

But still…bit o' bias there? #SubToot

Good thing you're not reading me anymore. You dodged a bullet.

the thing is, you can't tempt fate by feeling happy

for one, fate is not tempted, like "god is not mocked [deceived]"

and for two, as i was taught by a Cenobite once, if we are willing - even eager - to experience the pains of life, it behooves us to embrace the joys, too.
