Article seems to have 3 main complaints:

1. LLMs are not very useful

2. Companies like OpenAI and Anthropic are losing tons of money

3. There is a lot of hype around them

The first seems objectively untrue - lots of people find them useful especially for coding. Not to mention the fact that they get significantly better every year.

The second is completely true but it's not clear how much that matters. Our products are being subsidized by VC firms while costs are falling by 3x-10x every year. Seems great to me.

There is a lot of hype because hype helps capitalists get rich faster. Annoying, but a small price to pay for useful technology.
