      I’ve got bad news for you though: there will be another new bubble almost immediately. There’s a whole industry based around tech hype cycles and they are constantly throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks. Eventually something will when there’s space for it. It will be just as insufferable as LLMs are, and crypto was before that, and… I actually forget what was before that. Uber? You won’t be able to escape it, because it will dominate the attention economy.

      There’s definitely a niche for it, more so than for other fruitless hypes like blockchain or IoT. We really need to be able to offload tasks which need autonomous decisions of simple to average complexity to machines. We can’t continuously scale up the population to handle those. But LLMs aren’t the answer to that, unfortunately. They’re just party tricks if the current limitations cannot be overcome.
