  • You’re wrapped around the axle on how things should be and you should stop that for your own mental health. There’s no such thing as should have been, there may be a what you’d prefer, or a what would have been better for more people, but there are no predetermined outcomes, no should haves.

    I saw the internet being born, and I have watched it grow, but I didn’t make it, just like you didn’t. Money made it, but early on hadn’t figured out how to make money back out of it, but they were going to and now they have. That’s it.

    LLMs are only different because they sucked from the beginning while the internet was kinda cool and genuinely new, but it was never ours. LLMs are now being shoved down our throats, fed on all we freely put into the internet, regurgitating back our own thoughts and works, creating absolutely nothing. Could they be a super useful tool doing highly specialized shit? Well yeah, and they probably will some day, but for now they churn out modern capital’s favorite product, cheap trash and capital is bound and determined to make that profitable.

    We were really never part of the equation as anything other than rocks to squeeze blood from and what we want doesn’t matter to the ones squeezing.
