    Correct. LLMs are technically semiotic infrastructure. Empirically proven with computational semiotics.

      Yes, and I think some people forget that the whole point of an application is to make that semiotic infrastructure into a coherent system.

      LLMs are a great tool, but their misuse is delusional. We need to make a lot of tiny decisions that cannot be delegated away so easily and carelessly for those applications to work properly.

      The push for AI just puts a spotlight on this decades-long power struggle to prioritize which decisions are more important. This isn't a new thing at all. I really wish people would get their heads out of the sand and open their eyes to the crumbling of the institutions they should be defending with a clearer mind. This isn't about human vs machine. This is about quality of results.
