Flutterby™! : The AI Vampire

Kirk.is: The AI Vampire is some commentary around Steve Yegge's The AI Vampire. Yegge lost me... well, before gas town, but Kirk's questions lead me to the thought that my work value is, yes, understanding code, and having a bunch of deep thinking about software systems, but it's also about being able to think critically about systems.

And one of the big challenges about both the modern world, and about LLM hype, is that I'm trying to figure out what that means in a world where the "thought leaders" are spewing bizarre-ass bullshit, where "momentum" is everything, and "influencer" appears to be way more remunerative than understanding.
