I was explaining a treatment plan to a patient, and their partner told me to talk slowly because they were typing what I was saying into chatgpt to "verify" there wasn't a better alternative. In case you are wondering the stage of mess we are in with LLMs.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.
