       this LLM issue is so exhausting and depressingon one side, i feel like a cog in a machine, which is just doing fantastic things for my mental healthon the other side, it is the most binary issue i have seen in a long time, i have long-time friends mutually "fuck off and die"-ing at each other, which is also just doing fantastic things for my mental health

       @ariadne couldn't agree more. i have fallen for the trope of having "extreme productivity" when using AI tools and only in the last week have decided to take a pause and reflect what its actually doing to the hardworking and honest part of my brain, the one that doesn't care about dopamine hits - and actually wants to exercise the craft I trained in.

       @ariadne I have been contributing to the Drupal open source project for 22 years and one of the main reasons I stopped is because of where the community stands regarding LLMs (in short, they love it). It's very difficult because I still love writing code but the community aspects now makes contributing untenable to me.

       @chx how do you cope with the grief of parting ways with a project that has been so foundational to your life?

       @ariadne ain't that the truth, I metaphorically feel myself increasingly retreating to a digital cottage in the woods

       @ariadne it's one of those issues where you have to take a stand and it will come at a price. Yes this sucks. Losing people especially friends always sucks 😞 P s.: You are not a ⚙️ you are clearly a🐇

       @ariadne I have been teetering on the edge for years -- another major breaking point was the open source communities as a whole abandoning the vulnerable at conferences by refusing to keep masking. Overall, it's been difficult but since I completely stopped two months ago I am mostly fine. Work is fascinating, the Path Of Exile videogames keep the idle hours occupied. It's not much but it is what it is.
