Magic Leap hired Neal Stephenson, Apple hired Jimmy Iovine, now OpenAI is going to hire Rick Rubin. Tech companies seem to take the phrase ‘acquired taste’ literally and believe taste can be acquired. They fail to understand that it can only be acquired with time, not money. LLM is anti-taste by definition; it aims to compress time.
