that guy looks like he smells bad and his blowhard writing leaves so many logical holes, it's clear he's writing to impress those less intelligent than him, rather than elevating the argument above his intellectual level. FWIW NTT describes it as "matters that require expertise" whereas my AI tells me it's about whether one's credibility is directly relevant to the issue at hand. So he seems to be a bit of a credentialist

credential is a proxy. bad, but useful model for an imperfect world. in a perfect world the argument that "yapper" presented would be a pretty hard fact, but he's got something at stake (reputation, engagement...) and you can't leave that out. ai is still mid — look at how it first told you ad hominem is an absolute fallacy and now it's telling you it depends. 🙂↔️

since he yapped on another platform, here we have an opportunity to engage with the difficult facts qua facts. I'll grant you this -- identifying context can give space to a more reasoned response. But the ad hominem should be the initial reply, not the mic drop final word. I saw more tribal pile-ons and patting each other on the back, and less than a handful of reasons why it's OK if what he said, was true. yeah I don't like AI either. I only think it's useful to identify the first-order shape of shared understanding
