If you go to the Google ngram viewer you won’t see a single occurrence of whataboutism before 2006. I’m not saying it was coined at the Liberals Coining Scare Words 2006 conference, but use of the word is a hallmark of a shitlib hypocrite. Whatabout and whataboutism are two different words.

Do you run?

Only when I’m being chased.

This is like saying “I don’t understand how airplanes fly, so I’ll happily board an airplane designed by an LLM. The reality is determined by how much I know about it.”

You can learn how compilers work and understand how they do what they do. Nobody understands what’s in those billions of parameters, and no one ever will.

Great game, enjoyed it a lot!

What if in your third analogy you replace millions of students by billions of processes running on machines, each of which can generate output ten thousand times faster than a college educated human?

If you found a way to have a million children who could grow up in one day your analogy would be more apt. In that case you and your children would rightly be considered a threat.

There’s way more ugly graffiti scribbles than street art there, sadly.

I grew up in a socialist country before the fall of communism. Us kids of my generation were envious of the flashy lights and billboards that we saw in the movies from the west.

The architecture of pre 20-th century was as flashy and kitschy as the people of the day could make it with the technology at their disposal. Look at the façade ornamentation and ostentatious spires of the old churches. Or the imposing architecture of 19th century government buildings, with the government often being the king or a bunch of wealthy landowners.

Anyway, I prefer the architecture reflecting the hustle of today’s commerce to the one made to glorify the past authorities.
