Oh man this is all really hurting my brain. I wish I had a good response to this. I wish I had a magical simple response and a way to resolve this problem. On one end, I stop by curl's H1 profile regularly and watch people just drown them in garbage. It's like LLMs have unlocked a portal to a new kind of stupidity that was dormant before. Netsec always had a problem with people running nmap -sV -sC -sX -Pn -p1-65535 --max-rate -T1 scanme.nmap.org -oS out.txt and then just sending that out.txt with a subject "I FOUND A VULENARBILATEAY" And like, a script kiddie isn't really a person... everyone has a script kiddie inside of us. But it feels like we took this wonderful technology of neural networks and we did capitalism with it and unleashed it into a business of making it easier for people to be stupid but feel smart while doing it. I really like the idea that we might learn something about our own consciousness by simulating neural networks with computers but the more I see how it's done in reality the more I want to puke my brains out.

On the other hand, Matt Godbolt seems to use LLMs and I feel like I sure as hell wouldn't want to miss a PR from Matt fucking Godbolt. I mean even if I go full vanilla LLM-free I still am too addicted to using godbolt.org at this point and it was written partially with an LLM apparently.

Argh, maaan I don't know this is too fucking complicated of a problem for me to solve. Fuck, maybe let's just destroy all this technology and live as neofarmers raising chickens?

<Zero LLMs were used to write this post. In fact I went ahead and broke one GPU for every sentence I wrote just to make it harder for LLMs to compute.>
