technology, not because of religious reasons.

You are not making an argument based on technical merit here.
- archagon 3mo agoI am making an argument based on the fundamental nature of the tool, which is to make stochastic, unvetted decisions our behalf — categorically different from everything else in our toolbox. The technical and social repercussions to this are potentially vast: no other tool comes close. So it is actually Linus who is making an unconvincing appeal to emotion (and authority) by pretending that LLMs resemble hammers.
