    Honestly I hate AI with a burning passion. It’s the stupidest shit on earth. Except for these climbers.

      People dying because they blindly followed the advice of an LLM is kind of like natural selection.

      I assume the selection will become more rapid as the consequences of cognitive offloading begin to manifest.
