Needlessly pedantic.

Knuth's PhD is in mathematics, like Alan Turing, and many other significant computer scientists.

> Needlessly pedantic.

You don't have to pre warn readers about your comments here, we're all needlessly pedantic.

That aside, the guts of this sub branch is the correlation between {techno pessimists on HN} and {people qualified to understand LLM's (workings and implications)}.

Personally I wouldn't limit set two to "PhDs in computer science" or even accept that {all PhD's in Comp Sci} is a subset of set two, as I made clear with my comment, nor would I argue a lack of overlap between sets one and two.

I'm interested to hear where you stand.
