Don't bother with this guy, @ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works has done some mental gymnastics to justify starving the Palestinian population. So it really isn't surprising they would want to vote for the most ghoulish option.

The stock market makes no sense to me.

That's because "The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent."

Why would you ever yell at an employee unless you're bad at managing people? And you think you can manage an LLM better because it doesn't complain when you're obviously wrong?

A junior developer actually learns from doing the job, an LLM only learns when they update the training corpus and develop an updated model.

When LLMs get it right it's because they're summarizing a stack overflow or GitHub snippet it was trained on. But you loose all the benefits of other humans commenting on the context, pitfalls and other alternatives.

I call it colonial trauma. Our forefathers would rape the help and the worse that would happen is getting berated by the judge.

As we say in the USA:

But no one should buy the premise here, because it is so ugly. That premise is that people have fixed racial identities, and these categories are strict. The most disturbing line in the article is this righteous bit—“asked if any of his family had intermarried while in East Africa, he said in the interview on Thursday, ‘They’re all of Indian origin, from Gujarat.’”

Just a damn good point that race is not set in stone but dynamic. Haven't seen this point until now.

Reminds me of an adage:
