Nothing in the response to my comment is remotely true ... it's all obvious projection.

I think it's a beautiful and educational article. Dismissing it because you used LLMs to help write it isn't rational.

"Yeah, like I said, we blame boomers who voted for and supported Reagan." That is NOT what you said.

"Observing a common (potential) failure mode" That's not what we have here. "It is only a fallacy if you "P, therefore C" which GP is not (at least to my eye) doing." Some people are willfully blind.

Thermometers and human brains are both mechanisms. Why would one be capable of measuring temperature and other capable of learning abstract thought? > If it turns out that LLMs don't model human brains well enough to qualify as &quo

What does that have to do with the claim? It is very unlikely that 38% of Stanford students are actually disabled, and your success has nothing whatsoever to do with that.

Indeed. It's bizarre that some people attempt to rationalize such things.

It's probably not.

Even if that mattered, you could express it without being rude.

I wrote some SNOBOL IV programs back in the day and met Ralph Griswold when he visited the UCLA Computer Club. Fun language with very interesting ideas. Looking into Unicon is on my list of things to do.

Such an intellectually dishonest comment.

So tell them ... posting it here is useless; the article was written a couple of weeks ago and they may not even know that it made it to HN.

Completely wrong about the facts. Long COVID is real and not restricted to those on the left. Right wingers constantly "lament" over all sorts of bogeymen, rarely anything from personal experience. Most talk about vaccine injuries
