Imagine a nuclear power company being extremely cautious with safety and everyone online is like "make more power already you pussies!"

Are we comparing nuclear energy to an LLM?

Safety in the context of a nuclear reactor concerns human lives.

“Safety” in the context of LLMs concerns not offending certain individuals.

Sorry this is a very bad analogy, nuclear power isn't the same as a LLM, and definitely not as dangerous either. This is ridiculous.

Isn’t that the point of an analogy?

Your post is like a denim jacket.

(Seems like maybe that’s not the point of an analogy).

That comment was so devoid of thought, it actually made my head hurt.
