So this year after using Linux for 25+ years I found out you can run a one-off command on a remote server with `ssh server ''`. No need to wait for an interactive shell and type it in there.

@deftpunk @lcamtuf @simplenomad

That puts it so succinctly. Agreed 100%.

*especially* if you point out that the LLM has hallucinated, and they keep doing it. (which I say, because... it's happened to me repeatedly.)

@lcamtuf @simplenomad This. Use of an LLM says: "This communication is not worth *my* time. I'm sending it to you though, and I expect that you personally will spend your limited time and attention on it."

IMO, the choice to use an LLM for communication is an indicator of disrespect for your audience.

@simplenomad To me, quality is secondary. I want to know if the text I'm reading comes from a human simply because human writing is rate-limited while LLM writing is not.

If you wrote it yourself, I know you cared enough to invest hours of your time into it, so it's probably worth minutes of my time to read and engage. With LLM-generated text, this no longer holds, so it's sort of "deny by default" because there are only so many hours in a day.

I guess it's sort of a fundamental question of whether we see any inherent value in the human condition, or the goal is just to maximize blog posts per hour.
