A cheese-grater Mac is not a door stop either, yet look at it go.

Will people ever let go of being hung up on how exactly an LLM produces text, or do I really have to keep listening to this shit for the next several decades? As if being a program didn't already prohibit them from reading to begin with!

Tell me how you don't think a plane should be characterized as "flying" unless one is in "avionics-psychosis" or something. Surely you can appreciate how this narrow requirement for avoiding anthropomorphism and metaphors is entirely performative, and that engaging in them is in no way a sign of any mental illness.

And I get the performance aspect behind it, people wish to reject the metaphor to tear into the thing even that way. Or they come from a religious or spiritualistic background, and find the mere comparison insulting. But fuck it's so cringe. It's not news, and it's not insightful. Nobody who's ever had them shit out a page per second via like a dozen subagents, or utilized them being stateless and seed-bound, has any actual illusions about them being anything more than "just text generators". If they nevertheless assign intelligence, understanding, or similar traits to them, then clearly they simply don't agree with the anthropocentric philosophical insinuations performed. It's not some mistake or psychosis. Come on.
