Why would you ever yell at an employee unless you're bad at managing people? And you think you can manage an LLM better because it doesn't complain when you're obviously wrong?

When LLMs get it right it's because they're summarizing a stack overflow or GitHub snippet it was trained on. But you loose all the benefits of other humans commenting on the context, pitfalls and other alternatives.

But no one should buy the premise here, because it is so ugly. That premise is that people have fixed racial identities, and these categories are strict. The most disturbing line in the article is this righteous bit—“asked if any of his family had intermarried while in East Africa, he said in the interview on Thursday, ‘They’re all of Indian origin, from Gujarat.’”

Just a damn good point that race is not set in stone but dynamic. Haven't seen this point until now.

Reminds me of an adage:

It takes two to lie: one to lie, and one to listen

That would mean admitting they did something wrong, which is impossible for these ghouls.

Wish they'd pray for forgiveness because then that would mean admitting mistakes.
