Let’s make “alignista” a new insult in the spirit of “conformist”, “normie”, “basic” etc. Someone who does path-of-least-resistance index-fund type LLM use.

For fringe people who have elaborately customized and update-fragile AI-use configs with lots of weird non-defaults (the new “do your own research” crowd) we can continue using “crackpot” as the insult and also “fragilista” depending on whether you’re mocking their ideas or their methods.

The trick is to be non-default but in a rugged and illegible way 1 sd away from alignistas.
