Fascinating article, if from a few months ago
Sycophant responses about “you are a Luddite", "you don’t understand the technology”, etc will be handled ‘appropiately’…

@eniko Surely not, that'd suggest there were fundamental problems and concerns with the LLM hype, that can't possibly be true!

I can't help but think about the Emperor's New Clothes story.
What is the best version of the story?
It seems like an outstanding share for Halloween right now and other reasons.

The metaphor of The Emperor's New Clothes has come up many times related to Trump. As the election draws nears, I had some specific thoughts.

As an anthropologist, for me one intriguing aspect of the #coronation was that, of course, #Charles3 studied #Anthropology himself. The first time perhaps that an anthropologist designed and was the central figure in a power ritual all about himself!
