        -   Only skim read, but argument seems to be that left critique of AI is overly focused on the fact that LLMs don't represent AGI.
        -   I don't know if that's true. I do agree that purely critiquing AI on it not being actually intelligent seems flawed.
        -   To describe LLMs as just a kind of fancy autocomplete seems a bit disingenous.
        -   To me, LLMs/GenAI seems like a quite remarkable technology but currently with remarkably [[authoritarian technics]].
        -   The question of whether they could ever have democratic/libertarian technics seems like a good debate to have.
