On: Rust Glancer: Rust LSP using 100x less RAM

I’ve observed that people saying “LLMs are just a tool” usually compare them to language server implementations, compilers, and more. I disagree with this view because the tools they’re compared to are usually deterministic in the sense of they’re not just a blackbox that sometimes answers one way, sometimes another depending on whether the API provider changes the model weights, the temperature, etc.

I use nail guns as the analogous tool. Perhaps I know a few carpenters

Pushing back against two things:

* Inappropriate albeit understandable anthropomorphising of the technology

* Misanthropy. The capitalist wet dream of doing away with labour entirely
