    Misleading title, there's another major reason: it's an embargo agreement violation that jeopardizes Linux support on PS5.

        &gt; I find this very offensive.

        You shouldn&#x27;t, unless you&#x27;re producing a bunch of code you don&#x27;t understand.

          They are identifying with this new powerful technology, because it makes them feel as if they&#x27;re powerful also.

          Like how drivers of monster trucks get a rush from feeling like the power of the machine is their own. Some users of LLMs exhibit the same kind of arrogance of being on the side of a powerful force, like the law enforcement or military. I imagine some gun owners get that rush too. When you take away the gun or the truck, suddenly they feel vulnerable.
