derelict515.bsky.social @derelict515.bsky.social · 28/09/2026There is a strain of anti tech on the left that has just lumped everything since social media as net bad and also a scam that doesn’t work like crypto/NFTs.

derelict515.bsky.social @derelict515.bsky.social · 08/09/2026That there are still errors does not change the fact that the layman using these hallucination rates and “AI submitted fake citations in a brief” stories as proof of how useless these tools are is just a complete misreading of the state of the art.
