Gah that is frustrating.

The replies you're getting are a bit reminiscent of the "guns don't kill people, people kill people" defense of firearms - like, yes that's true, but the gun makes it a lot easier to do.

order

Sure, maybe? But if you were gonna stack rank death machines in order of death (in the US at least) and ban them, it'd go something like:

Drugs and alcohol first (or drugs first and alcohol second if you split them apart), then pistols second, cars, knives, blunt objects, and rifles.

We tried #1 already, it didn't really work at all. Some places try #2 (pistols) to varying degrees of success or failure. Then people skip 3, 4 (well except London doesn't skip 4), 5, and try #6.

And underlying that all is 50 years of stagnating real wages, which is probably the elephant in the room.

I'd posit that using an LLM to respond to a 10 page long ranting email is missing the real underlying problem. If the situation has devolved to the point where you have to send a 10 page rant, then there's bigger issues to begin with (to be clear, probably not with the ranter, but rather likely the fact that management is asleep at the wheel).

Completely unrelated but I saw an interesting analogy recently: forks make it a lot easier to gain weight.

Is that even true? I feel like a lot of unhealthy foods are easy to eat with your hands, and a lot of healthy foods are hard to eat without a fork or a spoon
