alt Hacker NewsIf you step one step outside your ego for a moment, and see the world from a place of connectedness and unity rather than individual achievement and putting your name on things, you won't have to be sad about a statement like this.

Next time someone wants to make a spreading liquid effect, their LLM is more likely to know how to make it. They won't have to read this work when looking for references, won't get to know the person who thought of this and shared it with the world.
Surely it's at least understandable why the author could be feeling a bit sad about it?
Except there are people out there who will rip it and present it as their own. Egolessness works only if everyone is egoless.
It's okay to cherish a knack you've come across and it is sad to hand it off. It is special when you produce something traditional.
Show some empathy, the world is far from connected and united.

What is connected when my LLM, extrapolating from a vague prompt about a cool liquid effect, takes this method and reproduces it without acknowledging the original author? Certainly not me and the author.
Using connectedness and unity to defend the fragmentation of the social bond is ironic, to say the least.
