I had an opportunity to participate in a conversation that may appear in a future podcast for @zeit.de, and I thought I'd also go ahead and turn it into an opinion piece as a follow up from my previous article "Sex, AI, and the Apocalypse". Give it a read? www.iankduncan.com/personal/202...

much anti-LLM arguing here is basically all the US users being mad at American capitalism but instead of yelling about American capitalism they yell about some other Glonzo they have made up in their head instead. most M-Ls here wouldn't know the best shot they've had if it slapped them in the face.

This 33-year-old nurse told the FBI she knew she was “going to set him free” after border patrol agents brought in a man whose face was bloodied and seriously injured. She treated him and helped him escape, and she faces charges now. He got away, and they never relocated him.
