Interesting take I haven't heard so far. Any sources for this?

Sources are very well cited if you want to follow then through. I linked this and not the original source because it’s likely the source where root comment got this argument from.

  • "Separately, LLMs have been an unbelievable life improvement for me. I’ve found that most people who haven’t actually played around with them much don’t know how powerful they’ve become or how useful they can be in your everyday life. They’re the first piece of new technology in a long time that I’ve become insistent that absolutely everyone try."

    Yeah, I'll not waste my time reading that.

It's the same one as crypto proof of work, it was super small and then hit 1% while predominantly using energy sources that couldn't even power other use cases due to the loss in transporting the energy to population centers (and the occasional restarted coal plant), while every other industry was exempt from the ire despite all using that 99%

Leaving the source to someone else
