At this point I feel the cautious assumption should be that using LLMs conversationally is a dose-dependent psychological hazard. Use them for coding or whatever, but I really don't think the human psyche is well-equipped to deal with things that fake being sentient.

I think it's kind of a tell on the person making the claim, honestly: "surely no human would care enough about writing to know the keyboard shortcut and use it correctly and consistently"

A super cool mod for this would be using collaborative sources like [email protected], encouraging people to go capture new imagery to fill in coverage gaps and let the car access more places.

In Immerwahr's case in particular, it's the "élites vs working class" narrative; part of a lifelong an effort to speak on behalf of the latter despite being the former. Not that there's anything wrong with that, until you start going to bat for any random crank who peddles bogus class analysis.
