It's a legal nightmare in my domain as of now, so I'll make sure the Sam Breaker-Friends are weeded out. If it's really all the hype it won't be going anywhere in 5 years.
In a purely technical vacuum though: it is truly amazing tech. I will give it that. Although it both excites and alarms me that apparently the power output predicted to properly leverage this at scale is having tech companies consider an investment in nuclear power.
I won't blame people for that latter, I'd love a good quick way out of traditional work as well (gives me more time to hack on stuff without money troubles). But it's not a good model for curiosity and scrutiny. Again, I'll wait it out. Take care.
Investing trillions in carbon free energy for AI is the most benign form of bubble I can imagine. If the bubble pops we have enough base load for the next century and don't die from climate change. If it doesn't we have the expertise to keep building large nuclear power plants.
LLMs are being used right now by a lot of people, myself included, to do tasks which we would have never bothered with before.
Again, if you don't know how to use them you can learn.
