a tech can actually have *lots* of practical uses and ALSO be wildly overhyped in the midst of an over-investment bubble
this is in fact exactly what I think is happening with LLMs

I think one of the unfortunate parts of disabled person rights is they are something you almost have to continously fight for and discuss even with people who you would expect to be allies because your need will often tie into something they feel is casually dismissable.

After a person is unmasked as a serial killer, the neighbors always say he was quiet and seemed nice.
So at least I know my neighbors aren’t serial killers.

Just as science has led the way in describing the problem of climate change, we at Project Drawdown are using science to guide resources toward the most effective solutions to the crisis.

Some proposed climate “solutions” just don’t stack up against an objective, evidence-based perspective.
That’s why the Drawdown Explorer calls these “Not Recommended” climate solutions.

On some level this is borders on inspiration porn and that should be acknowledged, but it is the kinda inspiration porn that because it sets a new understanding of how we can do things it helps to expand what we assume people can regularly do and how we can do it. Plus they clearly loved it ;p
