I appreciate Marc fundamentally and have groaned more often than I'd like the past few years. Seems part and parcel with the online/Twitter merging with the real/hoi polloi over the past couple years. Ex. Gary Tan. There's a certain kind of absolutist banner-waving people use to communicate with ingroups that is obviously foul to someone hearing it out of context. That last manifesto he wrote was funny to me and an excellent example. As someone who had been in LLMs/AI art since 2020, it came across as Marc wanted to signal their appreciation for the biggest in-group during the start of the first Eternal Summer of AI. (e/acc) The way it went overboard repeating hardcore edgy ideas, untempered by any reality because they came from 200 follower anons, suffered heavily from that in-group absolutist communication leading to out-group confusion. And it is all too much peering into eachother's minds for my taste. At the end of the day, guy wrote blog post because he was excited.
