perhaps onion2k meant that openAI could’ve reimplemented it once in-house on their side for the codex app?

[1] > A radio device at BBC did all this and not humans?

Technology mediates (human) agency.

[2] > My argument is that radio is a medium through which humans communicate. An LLM is not.

KaiserPro's argument is that radio (a one-way medium) mediates how humans communicate (phonetically), thus influencing how people speak.

Now that does not explain how the printing press and radio have influenced word choice (both of which I would like to see examples of!)

[3] > I can't remember any radio determining words or adjusting grammar of the person speaking through it.

Now media themselves did not really have something that looked like the kind of pseudo-agency that LLMs seemingly have. There may be some kind of qualitative leap.
