  • I never said they were intelligently designed. Evolution is an iterative, stochastic design process that produced a bunch of badass motherfuckers that stunt on everything else on this planet- us. Our ancestors needed dopamine reward systems to encourage them to hunt and to kill. It is how they survived to produce us. It is baked into our DNA.

    I do not hunt, personally. I am disabled. However, I respect those that do. It’s in their blood. Who are we to judge? No one is perfect, and that’s the whole point.


  • Evolution has given us dopamine receptors that reward hunting. It’s not as necessary in modern society, but nevertheless, our ancestors needed it.

    For the record, I don’t hunt. I was forced to as a kid, but I’m disabled and I couldn’t really do it. It was a horrible experience and I don’t want to hurt anything.

    That doesn’t mean I don’t understand that others are different. I accept them.




  • That misses the point of the post. They have actual uses; just not what they are hyped for.

    I, for example, have a mixed receptive-expressive language disorder.

    LLMs have been life changing for me. I can write out rambling scrambled attempts at saying things, and ask it to reword and make it concise and clear. Or I can ask it to analyze something I wrote.

    But I always write it first, then have the LLM do a pass, then I come behind and study/correct the output.

    So not every use is dumb, just like lasers are useful in science.
