Thinking about @pluralistic’s powerful article about #schismogenesis drawing on #GraeberWengrow’s work https://doctorow.medium.com/schizmogenesis-755bbb6a8515 (will replace this with a non-Medium link when I find it) a lot today because my disagreeing with the LLM-haters absolutely does not mean suddenly that VCs or OpenAI or the laser-eyed class (https://hachyderm.io/@thomasfuchs/110087666364908932) aren’t shit. My mental models probably overlap a ton more with the LLM-fearers than the median LLM-lover and I cannot stomach the possibility of appearing to be allying with the shit-shilling types, the Chamaths and the YCombinators.

People are right to distrust capitalism’s latest devilry (that seen in Fellowship of the Rings—Boromir seeing the distant flames and asking, “What is this new devilry”?)
