As a department secretary I&#39;m delighted not to have to invest any emotional energy in an industry myth propagated by the terminally irresponsible people who run OpenAI, who are even now trying to shift that irresponsibility onto their product, so that somehow IT will go to jail, not THEM 😂 <br/><br/><a href="https://pluralistic.net/2026/09/12/god-in-the-box/#llms-are-fake">https://pluralistic.net/2026/09/12/god-in-the-box/#llms-are-fake</a> <br/><br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1fdrpydz4n2dpgpy5xhsa6rjg8ytggn82mt0addw6sf93272nhhnqsjlvhs" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Cory Doctorow</span> (<span class="italic">npub1fdr…lvhs</span>)</a></span> 2026-09-22T17:22:17Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqstgvjdkccpxa43sjzrn9j0plytv8lp5dfhlhyd3v4c3gws98g307szyq8aalh6zquy8rm7q24y9wqxce9m4f820qn9rj9d8qvljufskcny5yymtc7 <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1fdrpydz4n2dpgpy5xhsa6rjg8ytggn82mt0addw6sf93272nhhnqsjlvhs" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Cory Doctorow</span> (<span class="italic">npub1fdr…lvhs</span>)</a></span> Have you seen Alan Pakula&#39;s film &#34;Rollover&#34; (1981)?
