It is a little bit suspicious that the big replacement didn't happen, yet.

If it was so valuable then AI companies would directly create valuable things, not just sell API tokens.

A proof like this is a good effort at trying to provide value directly, but still far away from real use.

When OpenAI cures cancer I'll accept the fate, but till then I'm still seeing a lot of gambling going on.

Reminds me of crypto. A lotta tokens. A lotta gambling. Very little supplanting of crypto from fiat. Very few use-cases that revolutionize society, etc.

LLMs are genuinely useful but the cult surrounding it makes it super sketchy.

Tech needs no anti-humanist and low empathy cults. It's a disgrace to the technology.
