    Very soon protesting the use of LLMs is like going to be like protesting the advent of the television. There is no stopping it. We should endeavour to ensure it is used ethically rather than becoming puritanical about its use.

      Nope, fuck that, fuck genAI it is unethical by virtue of stealing to train and vastly draining resources to power slop garbage.

      Television was a medium, communication. GenAI is not communicating shit, it’s trash sold on a lie.

      It will take a fundamentally different algorithmic approach to make further progress in ML.

      We have never figured out a different approach since it’s inception in the 60s
