For folks like us who are fed up of this slop narrative - instead of fighting it, it's better to try and shift the narrative towards determinism. For centuries and millennia, we have been trained to avoid and even fear fatalism (a negative aspect of determinism), and look towards future with hopes for betterment and prosperity. There is nothing wrong with having hope but for the first time in known history, the 'future will be glorious' theme isn't looking so bright, at least to a large number of folks connected to grassroots.

In order to push back against this narrative, we need to turn determinism into a force of good, or at least a force preferable to the alternative. Even in the LLM space, most of the utilitarian things are happening in the low-end, open source and local LLMs niches which are more deterministic in approach. What can we do to bring back people's interest in regular deterministic programming with C, Java and Python?
