More importantly, what will society do if it builds its structures around stealing knowledge from people until the people give up producing knowledge?

(And this is ignoring LLMs' impact on our climate due to their vast energy use.)

I never thought I’d see an issue that generates more contentious discussion than Vim vs. Emacs or Tabs vs. Spaces in programmers but “A program that constantly makes mistakes vs a human that constantly makes mistakes” now occupies 1st place.

Do what you want, but stop telling me this is anything but a rent-seeking tool designed to drive down my wages and belittle my expertise.

Once again, I highly advice you to get off #Discord and use something else, prefferably a messaging platform that is end-to-end encrypted, federated, no phone number idenitfiers, and open source.

You can bet your dollars that once they officially announce their IPO plans, all bets are off in terms of #enshittification X 1000.
