Really is an exciting future ahead. So many lost arts that don't need a dedicated human to relearn deep knowledge required to make an update.

A reminder though these LLM calls cost energy and we need reliable power generation to iterate through this next tech cycle.

Hopefully all that useless crypto wasted clock cycle burn is going to LLM clock cycle burn :)

You would certainly need an expert to make sure your air traffic control software is working correctly and not 'vibe coded' the next time you decide to travel abroad safely.

We don't need a new generation who can't read code and are heavily reliant on whatever a chat bot said because: "you're absolutely right!".

Useful enough for Stripe to building their own blockchain and even that and the rest of them are more energy efficient than a typical LLM cycle.

But the LLM grift (or even the AGI grift) will not only cost even more than crypto, but the whole purpose of its 'usefulness' is the mass displacement of jobs with no realistic economic alternative other than achieving >10% global unemployment by 2030.

That's a hundred times more disastrous than crypto.

Have you ever read David Graeber's Bullshit Jobs? Because if not, you really should.

yes they do! those are the humans that pass down those lost arts even if the audience is a handful. to trust an amalgamation of neurally organized binary carved intricately into metal with deep and often arcane knowledge and the lineage of lessons that produced it is so absurd that if a catastrophe that destroyed life as we know it did occur, we deserve our fate of devolution back to stone tools and such.
