Every day people here debate whether or not there are any actual productivity gains from LLM, and it's only in the limited context of software development. While I understand that this place obviously skews heavily towards the software industry, the notion that LLMs are anywhere near as useful in other industries is hubristic (at best).
Perhaps they aren't, but not currently viable !== always unviable.
Is it really worth it to cause a global economical collapse and harm society well-being to an unimaginable degree just to find out if it is viable?
Why cant it naturally grow and prove it's worth?
Just 5 more years and $500 billion more, bro. We're still so early.
And?
