It really just reminds me of my manic episode from May to September of 2018. I was stressed, depressed, and burnt out. Then I read a book called "In Defense of Food: The Eater's Manifesto". And my world view collapsed into a burning hot point.

(tangent: thank fuck it was a book about diversifying your diet with fresh produce and not some self-help blackhole)

I became locked in at running at 200%, then 300%, then 400%. Faster. more. faster. more. faster. bigger and bigger and bigger and and and and...

Then, I crashed. And cratored for years. I lemented that time I could move so fast. Eventually, however, I accepted that period for what it was: a toxic little dilusion I could be more than human.

And that's kinda how I see the whole LLM thing. People don't want to accept it's sometimes good even neccessary for things to be slow. People don't want to accept that perhasp we are alone in a cold uncaring universe. That what we have is what we got and we have to care for it or have nothing. ...also, a concerning number of people want a slave...

I guess a short way to put it: LLMs are disdain for the human scale and limit.
