It's disconcerting watching Nostr devs promote the idea that LLMs can and *should* replace all human expertise, knowledge, ingenuity, creativity, and wisdom, so that persons with none of these can accomplish the same intellectual feats as those with lots of it.
I've never seen anyone ask the obvious follow-up question:
Why do you still need that person, then?
Because, then... you don't. You don't need a single person, of any type, anywhere.
This is the sort of thing we see being built here because the people paying for the building have an LLM to sell you and the pesky humans are just slowing the LLM down.
You are the intelligence they want to reduce.

Iβm just focusing on building the reliable boring stuff that someone might use to buy food to stay healthy.
We are stoked about your project. π₯°
As I am for yours!
Preach it Laeserin π for Prezzzident!
This has been the most shocking part of my nostr experience.
I also find the cheerleading of big tech companies to be odd. Iβm surprised this group isnβt more skeptical of them and how their AIs can be used to potentially crush human freedom.
There are some who think we aren't necessarily the end of the evolutionary story. That the next evolution of intelligent beings may be machines. Meaning we become just another piece of the record and go extinct. I think that's a possible, but boring outcome. There are those who worship that idea though, probably from a self-hatred they've never dealt with.
Is that the Next Level Autism, after abandoning the Singularity?
I think it comes from a deep hatred of humanity with some nihilism mixed in, to be honest.
