> So maybe in 2075 we'll all be watching documentaries about LLMs (maybe even on our phones or laptops that look basically the same), and reminiscing about the mid-2020s and wondering why what seemed to be such a promising technology disappeared almost entirely.
It's hard for me to believe that anyone who works with technology in general, and LLMs in particular, could think this.
Technology has been stagnant for over 50 years, so it is easy to believe if you live in reality.
But sure if you exclusively look at the one field that has been advancing until about now I can see how one would end up where you are.
But this is exactly right, we are incrementally moving into the lamest cyberpunk future one can imagine, and we have been for some time.
