Agree to disagree.

If there was a realistic way that I could make LLMs less effective, by poisoning the well or something I'd be doing that instead.

I find the idea of loving an LLM like in this post very creepy and unsettling. Even more so for one of them to do it back.

This post mentions Luddites. I guess I am one. But that's not enough to dismiss their ideas.
