  • Miss, your shirt has a slur on it. Which one is it? Um, it’s all of them.

    “Oh I know, I’m satirizing the propensity of westerners wearing clothes with words on them they don’t understand”

    “But, but, they are all terrible slurs, doesn’t that make you a bad person? You could have picked any random shit!”

    “Yes, but then you wouldn’t have said anything, I get much more of a reaction this way” (thinking smugly, I am so smart)







  • 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.
