It's kind of astounding that people could get so far into computing that they could create LLMs in the first place, while never encountering the phrase "garbage in, garbage out". Like, how is it even possible to not realize that the system you're building is worse than the sum of its inputs?

@mattblaze@federate.social takes a lot of arrogance for other people to tell you you're supposed to censor yourself to save their feelings
