Yesterday Cory Doctorow argued that refusal to use LLMs was mere "neoliberal purity culture". I think his argument is a strawman, doesn't align with his own actions and delegitimizes important political actions we need to make in order to build a better cyberphysical world.

EDIT: Diskussions under this are fine, but I do not want this to turn into an ad hominem attack to Cory. Be fucking respectful

@tante At Tuesday night's #Faradayprize presentation from Mike Woodbridge, more than one of the slides about #LLMs brought #Trump to mind

Scientist giving a talk, slide behind him reads 'LLMs are... painfully inconsistent;  incapable of distinguishing knowledge, fact, belief; frequently wrong (hallucinations); often unaware of their limitations - and irritatingly overconfident; approximate reasoning- again, though often very confidently!; very limited in ability to revise beliefs; disembodied from the world - unaware of time, change, causality
