Never in my life have I seen that word used affectionately
- vidarh 4y agoI have seen that many times, as well as seeing people use it about themselves.
- sebastiennight 4y agoI think Noah Kagan's blog is literally called "OK Dork", and I always assumed the title was self-deprecating (in a fun/positive way) rather than negative.
- drusepth 4y agoGeek, nerd, and dork can all be used positively/affectionately. I know I've called myself and friends all of the above on many occasions.
- alibero 4y agoAs one of the unsupervised dorks working on LLMs at Meta (not one of the authors here) I took it in a positive way :)
