god these weird little fuckers’ ability to fill a thread with garbage is fucking notable isn’t it? something about loving LLMs makes you act like an LLM. how depressing for them.

high tendency to side with authority when given no information
low ability to distinguish "how it is" from "how it seems like it should be"

Meta:
