Why do you bother with all this discussion? Like, I get it the first x times for some low x, it's fun to have the discussion. But after a while, aren't you just tired of the people who keep pushing back? You are right, they are wrong. It's obvious to anyone who has put the effort in.

Trying to have a discussion with people who aren't actually interested in being convinced is exhausting. Simon has a lot more patience than I do.

It's a poorly considered hobby.

It's also useful for figuring out what I think and how best to express that. Sometimes I get really great replies too - I compared ethical LLM objections to veganism today on Lobste.rs and got a superb reply explaining why the comparison doesn't hold: https://lobste.rs/s/cmsfbu/don_t_fall_into_anti_ai_hype#c_oc...

I like debate as much as the next guy(almost). Your patience is either admirable or crazy, I'm not sure which.

Neither am I!
