I honestly think even the hypebros are less embarrassing than the full-on Luddites that think LLMs are an ontological evil.

It should really not surprise you that Hacker News, a community with an extremely technical audience, is interested in a bleeding edge technical tool that is literally completely reshaping the industry.

Hypebros and full-on Luddites that think LLMs are an ontological evil believe exactly the same things about LLMs.

The primary difference is that hypebros brag about incoming promised apocalypse, 40% unemployment, economy ruled by unaccountable monopolies and permanent underclass. Luddites think that such development would be a bad thing.

I dont think apocalypse will happen, but I do think AI companies are massive assholes who deserves all the pushback they can get for the way they doom hype themselves up.
