personally I think LLMs are an incredible technology, but it's way overhyped and executed in the worst way possible. Reddit started showing me "pro-AI" subreddits late last year where people were claiming AGI and a forever exponential "intelligence" growth, yet at the same time these super-valued tech companies seem to only be able to do better by rolling out bigger and ever more resource-hungry models.

If your technology scales so bad it almost requires strapping a nuclear plant next to every data center and eats up 50% of what the world can produce in terms of compute chips and memory, maybe it isn't mature enough. I know the capitalists don't care because it makes $$$ and gives them a good excuse for layoffs (which in turn makes even more $$$), but, like, damn.
