Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

It is a shame LLM's weren't designed to be a common good to Disabled people though. We're just a happy use case accident for these companies and AI manufacturers. It's tricky because this could be done just as well, I figure, with specifically designed LLM's instead of generic ones. @pavnilschanda @CarbonIceDragon

There are some efforts for LLM use for disabled people, such as GoblinTools. And you're very right about disabled people benefitting from LLMs being a happy use case accident. With that being the reality, it's frustrating how so many people who blindfully defend AI use disabled people as a shield against ethical concerns. Tech companies themselves like to use us to make themselves look good; see the "disability dongle" concept as a prime example.

Yep! Very familiar! I actually wrote about LLM's and blindness, as an example, here. https://robertkingett.com/posts/6593/ @pavnilschanda
