Looking at how #LLM are promoted by their fans, I've come to the conclusion:

Pretty much everyone from a #STEM background - myself definitely included! - owes the #Humanities a huge apology.

I mean, I get it. When I was a young student of physics, it was easy for me to sneer at philosophy students and whatnot. After all, _we_ dealt with hard, measurable facts, while _those_ people dealt with some weird thought constructs that had no relevancy to the real world - right?

But this is the end result - #TechBro culture and a vast portion of our entire economy using digital bullshit generators instead of critical thinking, and using this to lead us into a fascist future where either Truth or Facts have become meaningless.

Mea culpa.

@juergen_hubert maybe i misunderstand you here, but i reject the idea that technological progress leads to fascism. technology may act as an amplifier for tendencies, that already exist in society.

@condret I am not saying that technological progress leads to fascism.

However, technological progress causes social change - and without the Humanities to understand this social change, it's easy to fall into the traps of fascism.
