@Downes @jwcph that analogy doesn’t work at all. These things are not comparable and I’m sure you know this so I can only assume you’re not contributing in good faith here.

@Wifiwits @jwcph I am aware that dump trucks are not the same as LLMs. However, the original statement said "If loss of a tool..." and both dump trucks and LLMs are tools. The original principle sounds appealing, but the appeal comes from its generality. But it is too broad. It captures too much. So we have to ask, why would this principle apply to LLMs if it doesn't apply to dump trucks? Try not to respond with insults. It's far more interesting to actually engage with the point being made.
