I'm just confused why people think token-based computing is going to be in such demand in the future. It's such a tiny slice of problems worth solving.

It's like how every big co these days is ML. It will transition to LLMs as well.

Just give it a few years.

Yep. Same vibes as “ha ha who needs internet connected appliances” (pretty much all appliances are internet connected now). And the apocryphal “there is a worldwide market for maybe 5 computers”.

No-one "needs" or even wants appliances to be connected to the internet. You claim that "pretty much all" appliances are internet connected, while almost none of the appliances in my house are.

I mean, who DOES need internet connected appliances? Are you implying these token-based techs will be shoved down our throats regardless of demand?
