> This is going to sound sarcastic, but I mean this fully: why haven't they merged that PR.

I would go even further, why have they not created at least one less complex project that is working and ready to be checked out? To me it sounds like having a carrot dangle in front of the face of VC investors: 'Look, we are almost there to replace legions of software developers! Imagine the market size and potential cost reductions for companies.'

LLMs are definitely an exciting new tool and they are going to change a lot. But are they worth $B for everything being stamped 'AI'? The future will tell. Looking back the dotcom boom hype felt exactly the same.

The difference with the dotcom boom is that at the time there was a lot more optimism to build a better future. The AI gold rush seems to be focused on getting giga-rich while fscking the bigger part of humanity.
