Putting on my "not taking the piss" hat, I think sometimes people get frustrated, ultimately, by the fact that fedi isn't about shared values as much as it is overlapping values.

And it's cool cuz everyone can play their part in that context.

But there are tendencies that many of us are here to _escape_. Call it Big Bad Tech. Anti-BBT sentiment is a major, well-established building block of this thing.

And the LLM boom is a distillation of some of the worst BBT tendencies.

It's hard to be polite when people pretend not to understand what exactly people hate about this stuff.

I've been around so many tech debates over the years and LLM hype is the winner for patronizing absolute bullshit.

It comes down to people who want to do what they like, and still want to be liked. Sorry, but we're all adults, you have to pick one.

You can't fuck people over and still expect them to play with you.
