@cstross Charlie, IMHO the only palusible use for LLMs is accessibility. To allow for example, dyslectics, to be able to "compete" or have an equal share in "democracy" and/or society.
But to use 10% of GDP, fucking up all business domains, indigenous areas and nature just for a glorified automated prostethis is just - - - not for real.
Of course all LLM idiocracy is driven by greed.
Then some "nice" applications arise and by the time the vulture capitalists want their moneys back... poof! 1/2
