One of the things that I realised in the last years is that technical people lack a certain humanity, I wanted to call it empathy, but it's not that, it's just a complete lack of self awareness of how your actions and the tools you build affect others. Yes something is cool and all, but that doesn't mean that it should be used or put in the hands of people. One of my colleagues said at one point while we were in an AI workshop how we could just use ChatGPT and feed it various employee numbers and make a list of people in our company, rate them and then decide who we should fire.

Now to go back to this, yeah, LLMs are a cool technology, but the way something that is so unstable and is more or less an uncontrollable black box is thrown out there into the wild for anyone to use, just shows a complete lack of awareness from the industry.

This isn't about let them eat cake, what I understand from this position is something along the lines, you can't afford cake, so here's a Russian roulette where you might get a piece of pie (hey, it's free, it's no cake, but it's good) or a piece of garbage or maybe a piece of poisoned pie - and for most of the people that's still something, right?
