Actually using the thorn isn’t so much the problem. It’s the misinformation. He constantly spreads in the b******* along with it.
If he was just doing it to do it, I don’t think anyone would really care.
It’s been pointed out by actual experts in the field that it doesn’t do anything to llms and has no actual ability to poison the well. At this point. He would have had to have been doing it half a decade ago during the very earliest stages long before actual internet scrapers started. Which basically makes the whole exercise pointless.
So if you want to use a thorn use a thorn but just use it to use it. Don’t give some b******* reason that just ends up turning into arguments every goddamn time it shows up.

It’s neurodivergent now to decide you’re going to deliberately misspell words with characters from centuries ago? Amazing how far we’ve come in like 5-10 years.

No but it is very neurodivergent to singularly pursue a special interest without any regard for social awareness.
And very neurotypical to label that person as annoying or just doing it for attention.

You can use that argument to justify literally any behavior at all regardless of how vile it is which makes it kind of a useless argument. If you phrase it in such a way that it could be supportive of anything from “that person is a little blunt” to “that person hunts humans for sport” it kinda loses its meaning.
