  • I don’t disagree, but my point is.

    It’s a category error, LLMs are text prediction engines. There is nothing behind the curtain, they can’t by evil, because that implies understanding and intent.

    LLMs are evil in the way that earthquakes are evil, it is pure anthropomorphism, and it’s taking the focus from were the real issues are.

    Don’t get sucked into blaming the hammer, when the one swinging it it right there.













  • It depends on where you are.

    e.g. in NZ, we don’t have a problem with illegal immigration, but completely legal “temporary migrant workers”.

    The issue, isn’t the people, it’s the load on already stretched infrastructure. Because they are “temporary”, they are not factored into the calculations for infrastructure spending.

    This wouldn’t be a problem, if a short team need was being met, but it isn’t… There are always temporary workers, because we as a country can’t fill all the jobs from local supply.

    With birth rates and other immigration, our population growth is around 1.5%, not the 0.5% we target our spending at.

    If we spent at a rate that accounted for the real population growth, everything would work better for everyone.
