people say lobste.rs is more anti-llm than hn but it's only sort of true. say anything negative about llms or refuse to entertain insipid questions ("please explain for the millionth time why llms are bad, I'm genuinely* curious why you'd think so?") and your comments will get flagged.

asking insipid questions is fine but responding to say you won't answer them is trolling and "unkind". fuck offfff

I got another "genuine curiosity" question about when the last time I used LLMs was, which I think is a setup for a "gotcha" because I said LLMs are all pattern recognition and no reasoning which is true!
