Oct 18, 2026, 10:33 PMWhen they posted their Hot Take About AI (https://sfconservancy.org/llm-gen-ai/llm-backed-generative-ai-recommendations.html), I thought it was misguided but didn't really have the bandwidth to care. But after seeing bkuhn harass someone over criticism, I'm disgusted with the organization.
Oct 18, 2026, 10:35 PMTheir recommendations are self contradicting. #1 says communities should support people who refuse bullshit generators while #2 says people should be allowed to make their own decisions about using bullshit generators. The Parable of the Nazi Bar does not start with "well that one guy has a nazi belief but he's not saying it now so we'll tolerate him". No. As soon as you identify the nazi, you kick him the fuck out. https://blog.fallible.net/it-breaks-a-village/
Oct 18, 2026, 10:36 PMMaking a safe space for people who refuse bullshit generators means no tolerance in the space for usage of bullshit generators. No means no, no exceptions.
Oct 18, 2026, 10:37 PMThe onslop of bullshit generators shoved in our faces is a conspiracy pushed by a rape cult in an effort to erase the concept of "no" from public discourse.
@be I suppose if the "AI"-evangalists stopped shoving slop in my face, stopped insisting to my face that I'm the foolish one for resisting their limited understanding of technological-progress... I'd have better things to do then criticize their use of it elsewhere!
@be AND YOU WERE RIGHT TO SAY IT
