Creates echo chambers, karma whoring 'power' accounts, rewards ego-posting and generally makes the experience about who says what not what is said. Worsens the problem.

Echo chambers exist no matter what & "who says what" is an essential aspect of determining transferrable credibility.

Without transferrable credibility, any ratings system simply becomes a question of which side spams the most.

If you project from the centre, as if the observer is trapped in the middle of the earth like a Jules Verne prisoner with x-ray vision watching the world above them, it is to the right (anti-clockwise to the left).

But no one thinks like that.

After testing whis, what strikes me is how stubborn the LLMs are about being wrong. Is that a more important takeaway: that LLMs seem to back down less even when clearly wrong?

This is sadly typical arrogant HN commentary jumping off to sound clever, cynically playing on the 'engineer mentality' fallacy, having put no effort to discredit the argumen as witnessed by the now clearly stupid argument presented, yet selfishly putting the onus on others to correct.

There are more important things than continually arguing on an internet forum, as you have been with multiple people here, that you're right when it's been pointed out numerous times that you jump off half cocked and is not the case. More generally, it is an unfortunate arogant and dangerous mindset from a sizeable part of the HN community.

Well, I actually am right - just not quite as right. He still took “North American revenue” that includes Canada and Mexico and divided that by US households..

I dunno, going in with the starting assumption that Matt Stoller is innumerate and/or will twist statistics to support his otherwise specious arguments is not a terrible approach.

On the particulars of this number, he seems to be close enough, but it’s not nearly as shocking with any context: The average American household Walmart spend is comparable, Apple captures almost half that with a handful of devices and services.

Sometimes action outside concensus is needed.
