He seems right about everything. It's weird though that you can't say llms are useful without being downvoted.

Like if tech doesn't achieve fully conscious super human intelligence, it's useless.

Any real utility they might have had is wholly overshadowed by the massive capital overinvestment and shoehorning it into everything by folks grifting on that overpromise.

And the environmental impact of training and running llms, just so I can ask GPT why my code no work?!
