   @landley As a child I was told that there were going to be people on every street corner offering me free drugs, and Just Saying No to them was a very important life skill I needed to acquire. They're not your friend, the free stuff was just to get you hooked.

   Never happened with drugs, but it's sure as hell happening with AI.

     Culture is full of persephone eating pomegranate seeds, beware of greeks bearing gifts, don't eat fairy food, don't accept favors from demons because you'll owe them, monkey's paw wishes...

     And then all these "ain't no such thing as a free lunch" fuckers tell you to check in LLM pull requests, and mock the reluctant as fools. STRINGS ARE VERY MUCH ATTACHED. This crap is fucking sticky at nuclear contamination levels. You pivoted from NFTs to this, we watched you do it.
