Osmose @osmose.bsky.social · 07/10/2026It's a little difficult for me to take the argument seriously that "people getting mad at other individuals using LLMs are extremist" because we just had this argument about masking where individual action and consequences are WAY MORE IMPACTFUL and we still failed it They aren't why we're losing 020

Osmose @osmose.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I do not think this is an explicit design principle, but I do think at least a few folks designing these things have had the thought that being embarrassed by having one of these things and then being comforted by other users will make them stickier which also happens to be a well-known cult tactic 210
