struck anew at how a fundamental premise of ai boosterism is: you are literally not allowed to disagree. it’s either, “you need to try it again,“ or, “get over it, the squirrel is out of the tree.”

The notion of a broken clock being sometimes right is based on a gross misunderstanding of what information is.
