That... um... I had a shortform just last week saying that it feels like most people making heavy use of LLMs are going backwards rather than forwards. But if you're getting 10-20 of that per day, and that's just on LessWrong... then the sort of people who seemed to me to be going backward are in fact probably the upper end of the distribution.
Guys, something is really really wrong with how these things interact with human minds. Like, I'm starting to think this is maybe less of a "we need to figure out the right ways to use the things" sort of situation and more of a "seal it in a box and do not touch it until somebody wearing a hazmat suit has figured out what's going on" sort of situation. I'm not saying I've fully updated to that view yet, but it's now explicitly in my hypothesis space.

This is an experiment in short-form content on LW2.0. I'll be using the comment section of this post as a repository of short, sometimes-half-baked posts that either:
I ask people not to create top-level comments here, but feel free to reply to comments like you would a FB post.
