Suits really really want LLMs to be able to replace employees, so suits and sycophantic morons both get unreasonbaly tilted when they're rightfully mocked or proven fucking braindead for those wishes.

I'm sure it's a lot of things. The bottom line, though, is that the fruit is too sweet. And so you get a dynamic very similar to veganism, climate change, health-conscious eating, anti-smoking, etc., where people want to behold their fruits without feeling like they're villains for it—criticism of smoking is to criticise a person for smoking as well, you see? It becomes like a moral failing of their character. It's just insecurity.

Bitcoin didn't really catch on because, besides money laundering schemes, it doesn't really have a purpose. But AI has lots of purposes. It eases the burden of writing, it can do your homework for you, it's a better search engine because google sabotaged their own, it can generate DnD assets for "free"—and lastly, this is a really big one, it fills an emotional niche in lonely people.

I can't promise that in a world where people didn't live their whole lives in suburban houses, in small bedrooms, on their computer all day with remarkably few friends, that people wouldn't take to gen AI as much as they do, but it's certainly not helping.

if that was available, i think it would be harder for alt-right extremism to take hold
