I think that the tribalism is one sided.
On one side you have people who know how to build deep nn saying one thing, and on the other there seems to be people who don’t even know what tanh is and are very sure of their “strong” opinions.
Do you have an example of someone who actually knows how LLMs work who has a tribalistic view?
Lol, I like that as a joke, but I wouldn’t think you are saying “a person who has no idea how something works” their opinion should be given equal weighting as someone who actually knows? Maybe you are - that seems to be how things work now.
I think you already get what I am saying, but it seems that there are maybe 3 groups. 2 who know how things work under the hood and have differing opinions and are curious to hear the other side, and one group who have no idea how things work, are very loud, have sci-fi fantasies, and spout strong opinions.
I wouldn't call that discourse i would call it ignorance.
“people who don’t even know what tanh is” sounds like something a tribe-member criticizing outsiders would say :)
