The least shocking thing ever is learning DOGE used chatGPT to identify which grants were âDEI.â It is critical to understand that LLMs are an authoritarian technology meant to win the millennia-long war on critical thinking and art. They are a right wing wet dream.

This is indicative of a mindset which essentially says "there can be no such thing as scholarship or intelligence when it comes from a group I've been conditioned to demonize" and we'd all be better off if we realized these people are simply like this. There's nothing to persuade here, it's bigotry.

I've been using quotes around "AI" because it's not even close to any sort of actual artificial intelligence and I refuse to further the marketing goals of the scum behind it. I'm also iffy on using the term "anti-AI" because that also concedes to the Silicon Valley appropriation of the term.
