"… If you are a competent developer, he said, an LLM makes a great tool, but only after that effort has been put in to set it up. He resisted suggestions to post his LLM-training materials, saying that each developer needs to go through that process separately."

Lord why is it always like this. I would slow-walk the rollout of 7.4 kernels to your environment once they land in your distros. Let somebody else beta test that shit for you

@kevinr @davidgerard the fact he refuses to show his recipe to supposedly get the LLM to work is everything you need to know. I'm yet to meet a creative person who isn't waiting for every occasion to nerd the fuck out about the way they do stuff.

"I suggest the social action: shame. Shame these people. Their actions are shameful. AI bros hate being shamed and they try to make rules against shaming — because shame works.

"None of these people doing shameful things deserve a place in polite company. They should be shamed for their shameful choices."
