and, no matter how much this has helped you to cope with your personal trauma, going through that trauma does not entitle you to use emotional blackmail to silence people who do not subscribe to the llm hype.

couldn’t have said it better myself, but for posterity, they of course sent a report:

I specifically did not touch on that aspect because, like, yay accidental benefit? but extreme emphasis on the "accidental", and it's not debate club and and and.. but then they had to go throw a tantrum
