Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

human beings are smart. bad things don't happen because people are stupid. this kind of thinking is dehumanising and leads to so much evil in our world. people are not LLMs. they're people like you. they have thoughts. they act for reasons. don't dehumanise them.

I would point you to Hanlon's razor for the first part there.

it's not about dehumanizing, it's merely comparing the outputs. it doesn't really matter if they act for reasons or have thoughts if the output is the same. should we be more forgiving if a LLM outputs crap because it's just a tool or should we be more forgiving if the human outputs the exact same crap, because it's a person?

and, just for fun, to bring solipsism into this, how do we actually know that they have thoughts?
