> commoditizing bland, HR-approved opinions. If you want to sound like a human on the internet, for better or for worse the easiest way is to say something that would make Anthropic’s safety team have a heart attack.

I agree.

LLMs are like blackface for dumbfucks: LLMs let the profoundly retarded put on the makeup and airs of the literati so they can parade around self-identifying as if they have a clue.

If you don't like the barbs in this kind of writing prepare for more anodyne corporate slop. Every downvote signals to the algorithm that you prefer mediocrity.

I'm all about using the rainbow of language to it's full breadth, but if you're going to go for shock jock you should maybe have something better to say than "hurdurr I smart and world bad 'cause dumb people". Makes you sound a little like you're trying too hard to be part of the 'literati', whatever that's supposed to mean.
