I watched a debate between Emily Bender and Some OpenAI Guy, and I just…

- Bender: As an expert in linguistics, we have a pretty good grasp on "meaning" vs "form". LLMs are just putting words together. People will read meaning into it, but that's a lie. People will get hurt.
- OpenAI Guy: If people read meaning into it, there's meaning in it *for them*. If things go wrong, that's a user problem. Capitalism, baby.

Check mate, humanities and also sciences. Horoscopes are AGI now.
