This is the sane position on LLMs/GenAI ⬇️

Anil Dash @anildash.com · 9d

"I have a decent fluency in LLMs, and they have utility, but the absurd degree of over-hype, the way they're being forced on everyone, and the insistence on ignoring the many valid critiques about them make it very difficult to focus on legitimate uses where they might add value."

The problem with watching news as a means to understand the world is that the news doesn't cover the common events in the world; it covers the rare events because only those are news-worthy.

PSA: The outrageous thing one young person said for attention in a TikTok video is not the mindset of the entirety of Generation Z.

The “married introvert” is a stereotypical type of person that I want to introduce today. I’m describing them as men because that’s the version I’ve observed more often and that I find more relatable…

Every month Google reminds me that people - probably worried about their future prospects - search for "can introverts get married" and land on one of my blog posts where I write about an archetype that I call "the married introvert", which is entirely unhelpful in answering that question.

Isn't it interesting how both the political left and the political right argue that public discourse has shifted too much into the other direction? Obviously they can't both be correct.

I wrote a blog post about my experience at TREEWEEK TWO and somehow it wasn't automatically syndicated to Bluesky, so while I'm checking my blog settings here we go manually:

We live in a world where some people can't stop talking about a shrimp deal while others can't stop talking about shrimp welfare.

A few drops of tea from my teapot land on my phone, and my phone is like "that fingerprint doesn't match".

Apparently this is uncommon, especially as a man, but I'm sure I've never spent time seriously imagining myself being in a situation where I have to physically defend myself or anyone else.

If a certain job is required for a functioning society, you cannot judge people for taking that job; when they complain about working conditions and you suggest they could just do another job, you're basically saying that they shouldn't suffer but someone else should.

The problem with online gender and dating discourse is that it works on the assumption that all men/women are the same.

I'll never understand how people can just forget to eat ... don't you get, like, hungry or something?!

When prices for a product rise, many are quick to blame "corporate greed". While that certainly is a real thing, there's also this: companies, especially when venture capital is involved, often set prices unsustainably low to gain market share. As a result, customers get used to unrealistic prices.

Open a store where you sell Mac&Cheese with these pots and "utensils" and I guarantee you the line of hipsters waiting to order will be at least two blocks.

After some of the recent social media discourse I have concluded what many men mean when they want to "end wokeness".

It boils down to wanting 3 things:
1) Objectify women they find attractive.
2) Openly criticize women they don't find attractive.
3) Nobody ever calling them out for doing 1) or 2).

I will be in London 🇬🇧 at the end of the month. Any mutuals who want to meet? DM me for exact dates.

Have the women who expect their date to pick them up or call them an Uber ever considered the security risk of sharing their home address with someone before the first date?
