If you at all can, this is a really great time to donate or otherwise assist with https://transrescue.org/

So, cis Americans, you're now living through the first day of a federal genocide against trans people, as defined by the Lemkin Institute for the Prevention of Genocide. As happens almost without exception unless stopped, it is both likely to proceed to mass murder and to expand to include additional social groups, possibly including you.

What are you going to do about this? Are you going to take up arms and fight to prevent your friends and neighbors from being murdered by the state? Are you going to harbor fugitives, get them medical care, and help them leave the country? Are you going to disrupt the function of state offices and destroy records to make their work impossible?

Or are you just going to hunker down and go along with what's asked of you, in hopes they don't get around to killing people like you? Are you, in other words, going to be a good Nazi?

If you think you're going to maybe go on a few big nonviolent protests and be angry on social media, like you did last time, but you know money is tight and you just started a new job and... congrats on failing to understand the situation and choosing to be a good Nazi.

History is unfortunately quite clear here. There are no other options left. Either you literally, physically fight this, or you collaborate.

If you think this is extreme, well, you've made your choice. See you in hell.

The primary job of a development team is the creation and maintenance of a shared mental model of what the software does and how it does it. Periodically, they change the code to implement changes to the mental model that have been agreed upon, or to correct places where the code does not match the model. An LLM cannot reason and does not have a theory of mind and as such cannot participate in the model process or meaningfully access that model — written documentation is at best a memory aid for the model — and thus cannot actually do anything that matters in the process. The executive class would prefer that other people in the org not be permitted to think, let alone paid for it, and therefore willfully confuses the output with the job.
