as an amuse bouche for the horrors that will follow this year, please enjoy this lobste.rs reaching the melting down end stage after going full Karen at someone who agrees with a submitted post saying LLMs are a dead end when it comes to AI.

lobste.rs/s/…/does_current_ai_represent_dead_end#…

Thankfully, accusing someone of being a crapto promoter is seen as an attack that is beyond the pale.

Highlights from the rest of the thread include bemoaning the lack of a downvote button for registering disapproval:

lobste.rs/s/…/does_current_ai_represent_dead_end#…

lobste.rs/s/…/does_current_ai_represent_dead_end#…

And of course is a MoreWronger (moroner?)

I’m increasingly convinced that this person is in a dark place mentally, and am fighting a mental battle to keep poking them for the lulz or just ignoring them for their own good.

(I’ve seen this behavior on lobste.rs before and I think sometimes people literally get banned for their own good)

Edit bored on a train so I did the math, in the comment thread, this user has made 30% of the comments by count and 20% by “volume” (basically number of bytes in the plaintext).
