Armin Ronacher, creator of the vastly popular Python Flask and Jinja framworks, comes out in defence of DHH, saying his racist diatribe about the ethnic make up of London was in fact not racist, and the state of Israel, that it's apparently fine that it remains an oppressive ethnostate in order to 'preserve its particular cultural identity'.

Indeed. I left a note on one of his blogposts correcting a common misconception (that it's "all just tokens" and the model can't tell when you clearly substituted an unlikely word, common among RAG-heavy users) and he showed up to clarify that he merely wanted to "start an interesting conversation" about how to improve his particular chatbots.
It's almost like there's a sequence: passing the Turing test, sycophancy, ELIZA effect, suggestibility, cognitive offloading, shared delusions, psychoses, conspiracy theories, authoritarian-follower personality traits, alt-right beliefs, right-wing beliefs. A mechanical Iago.
