“This whole saga makes me genuinely embarrassed to follow this stuff. I just want a sub that has an informed opinion on AI, this is worse than crypto bro bullshit.”

“Every hype-man who posts vague tweets and hype posts should be ridiculed. Every clown who posts screenshots of said tweets on this sub should be ridiculed.”

      Sometimes the leap feels easier to make for them if they belittle living beings and call them “meat puppets” or “meat computers.” Saw that shit on Hexbear too before the LLM grift and the societal enshittification and environmental damage it was causing became too obvious to ignore, even if some were fine with “not real jobs” being eliminated back then.
