Anyone who anthropomorphizes LLM's except for convenience [...] is a fool.

I'm with you. Sadly, Scott seems to have become a true AI Believer, and I'm getting increasingly disappointed by the kinds of reasoning he comes up with.

Although, now that I think of it, I guess the turning point for me wasn't even the AI stuff, but his (IMO) abysmally lopsided treatment of the Fatma Sun Miracle.

I used to be kinda impressed by the Rationalists. Not so much anymore.
