# Breaking!

The guy who invented "enshittification" just enshittified himself down his pants.

Actually this demonstrated how accurate the definition of the term is.

I hope he will not start suing anyone using #enshittification, though.

@77nn I thought Doctorow's a good man when he was against Meta, but it devastates me a lot to hear he's instead favorable on LLMs.

Man...

@AleF2050 well I do not mean my post for that, anyways. It's how he's taking its stand, considering critics as ignorants. Not doing his best.

@77nn @temptoetiam well checking typos is like the only appropriate use of Large Language Models.
From a technical point of view most problems with LLM comes with people using them as oracles of truth that can provide any answer.

Since he's running locally an open source model, I don't really feel like I can blame him from an ethical point of view, but I see how it's a slippery topic.

@clabru @temptoetiam That is not the point, in my reading of the OP. A more comprehensive post is coming straight in a few minutes.
