I disagree with many of the points on LLMs (but broadly agree with 80% of the post). But regardless of agreeing or not, it was a pleasure to read this because it's beautifully written, the arguments are solid, it makes you think, and the website has a personality, which is rare nowadays.

I clicked halfheartedly, started to read halfheartedly, and got sucked into a read that threw me back into the good old days of the internet.

A pity that the micropayments mentioned in the post never materialized, I'd surely throw a few bucks at the author but the only option is a subscription and I hate those.

It is a nice read but something tells me it’s AI generated due to the frequent em dashes so I wouldn’t place all bets on it being entirely human written.

Edit: I apologies, the author has pre-gpt posts that use em dashes so likely it’s part of their writing style.

I disagreed with a _lot_ of what they said. But I really hope the author doesn't suffer the indignity of reading this comment.

I've been accused of being an LLM before — I got over it pretty quickly.
