My nuanced take is that LLMs are a conceptually compelling and interesting technology, but most instances and applications of LLMs are ethically dubious and/or philosophically fraught.

Happy to say I jumped on the bandwagon this week and I'm very happy so far! Making it very easy to do remote development via my home server. I'm barely scratching the surface of functionality but impressed already.

One of these days I will try to understand Tailscale, but today is not that day
