The one bright spot of LLMs is that we've learned exactly how morally and creatively bankrupt this industry is, and how fast people are willing to throw away everything they said they cared about for decades - craft, understanding, efficiency, detail, all of it - just to cosplay competence and bandwagon their way to groupthink targets they don't even realize were made up to manipulate them.

Christ it's embarassing.

If you actually follow what is going on, you would see that the pro-LLM brainrot brigade is backed by billionaires who are deliberately seeking to cause mass layoffs to underscore the (false) idea that AI is the next big thing.

They don't care that it will cause harm. The harm is part of their advertising strategy.

And their customers are other billionaires who want to put wage slaves in their place.

If you are a wage recipient, and not against them, you're just a fool.
