  @tante@tldr.nettime.org @pluralistic@mamot.fr I agree with a lot of this but I think there is a larger pattern here some of us have been noticing about Cory for a while, namely that he's repeatedly promoted technologies that are harmful. I did not jump on him for his LLM article, I jumped on him because it's the latest in a long line of technologies he has attempted to normalize that are actively harmful to their users and in some cases society.
