Personal attacks aren't allowed on HN, so please don't.
Also, can you please stop posting flamebait and/or unsubstantive comments generally? You've unfortunately been doing this repeatedly, and we end up banning such accounts.
Something genuinely shitty was done to this guy by an LLM - who, as an open source maintainer, probably already is kind of pissed about what LLMs are doing to the world. Then another shitty thing was done to him by Ars' LLM! Of course he's thinking about it a lot. Of course he has thoughts about the consequences of AI on the future. Of course he wants to share his thoughts.
Just curious, do you also think that the breathless AI hype bots who've been insisting for about five years and counting that LLMs are going to replace everyone and destroy the world any day now, who have single-handedly ballooned the stock market (mostly Nvidia) into a massive bubble, are also histrionic, milking things for engagement, need to talk to a therapist?
i think i sort of skimmed the hit piece but what exactly was so shitty about it?
im not saying this dude is histrionic but he sure is generating a lot of front page HN posts about something i was ready to forget about a week ago.
obviously AI has become such a lightning rod now that everyone is upset one way or the other but this seems a bit like small potatoes at this point. forest for the trees.
I guess "shitty" is in the eye of the beholder, but having a pretty vituperative screed written against me (accusing me of being "insecure", "threatened", fixated on "ego" and "control", "weak", "an obstacle", and "fucking absurd") would feel pretty fucked up and lousy I imagine, even if I knew it was machine-generated.

Ok apologies.
>His posts and tone have been so histrionic
Er, pretty much the opposite.
I feel he has been laudibly even-keeled about the whole thing.
What a weird, victim-blame-y thing to say.
