Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

I never claimed it wasn’t artificial, my argument is that it’s not intelligent.

And what does "... are a chipper and solvent of competency..." mean?

My observation from having to deal with entities which have had exposure to LLMs, is any competency or credibility they may have had, is eroded proportionally to their level of exposure. It’s equivalent to experiencing a traumatic brain injury.

Losing cognitive ability is bad enough, but it’s devastating when they never possessed it to begin with.
