Having long time perspective, seeing the wider context, talking to people, having vision and taste. Curating and sanity-checking the results. Security and trust.

The reasons are many.

I believe that the assumption that customers reviewing the output artifacts is "the final boss" is wrong. If AI use spreads, customers are also likely to use AI to review the artifacts. Vision, taste and curation remains, though.

I wonder why they don't have a "Buy now" button on their website.

Even if a tool can only be used for lobotomizing humans, the usage of the tool is where the main blame should be placed.

Calculators and computers are creating engineers that can't think without them either. There are many problems with AI, but from my point of view, the title has not thought things through.

We teach kids basic maths before we give them calculators.

University degrees certainly used to teach computing fundamentals without you having a computer in front of you.

I am all for taking AI out of education, like China recently announced that they will do.

FT2 was written in Borland Pascal 7 and TASM, btw.

Shout out also to Cubic Team, I spent countless hours using Cubic Player, they also made some cool demos/intros.

OpenAI has "open" in the name without being anything similar to "open source". Additionally, they have not rejected using their technology for automatically killing people and for mass surveillance. I deleted my OpenAI account, and it felt good. Recommended.

Referring to "the normal people you know" is purely anecdotal evidence and can't be used to infer anything at all about "side-ideology". Perhaps you only know people that don't care about the environment?

vasco · 2026-02-24T08:26:28 1771921588

Majority of people I know care about the environment but they would never inject a phrase like that in a quick exchange about going to wash the car 50m away is my point. In wanting to be a pure heart you missed the actual point.

jcattle · 2026-02-24T08:47:23 1771922843

Yea, of course they wouldn't inject that when going to a car wash.

If the question was: "I want to go to a cafe 50m away. Should I walk or drive?" I would hope that all of my friends would answer quite a bit more pointed than the LLMs: "Walk you lazy son of a ..., why are you even asking?".

Considering that, I'd say that most LLMs are being quite nice.

Now we can have operating systems that write the drivers they need at boot.

Yes, but cencorship is also politics. What happens if someone just tries to stay apolitical and "work safe" and are still cencored? Any attempt at fighting this will be categorized as "political", "difficult" or worse.

Remember when they "censored" the guy who had the gall to write "men and women are a little different" at Google. There's an object lesson here, even if you disagreed with that guy.
