I’m starting to think lan­guage models are a fun­da­men­tally manic technology, in part because they operate exclu­sively through logorrhea, the “yeah, yeah, YEAH!” of the all-nighter.

Everyone could benefit from having an Andrew W.K. hype-man by their side every now and then. While exhilarating during show time, operating in a manic state with no regard for steady rhythms is no way to live a complete life.
