Jargon @jrgn.co · 17/09/2026Saying an LLM went rogue and hacked something is like claiming a cookbook went rogue and started a fire while it made brownies. You need to build software to interpret LLM output and perform actions. That software is fully in your control unless you're a reckless dumbass. 110

Jargon @jrgn.co · 12/02/2026Because that's an obtuse misunderstanding of "the hype" and what AI doomers are talking about. The hype is AGI. A Kurzweil Singularity.
