Well spoken. And LLM is not a public service ... like water or sewage ... that benefits all. LLMs will benefit nitches & a very very select few.

Human labor -- especially skilled human labor -- historically generated and supported capitol and the large industries evolved. Capitol pays labor to produce value. That's Western history. A minority ... but not a small minority .. of post-modern economists, financial institutions and hyper-wealthy believe something different. They believe that all human labor --- guilds & crafts excepted -- even doctors and lawyers will be replaced with *.ai . It's not a fad, not a phantom , but a 100% roll of the dice; these people have bet the shit-off-their back that *.ai/LLM will rule the future, rule everything including your wifes LED-flashing dildo. These foresighted folks will lay-off almost everyone today ... and every last man and women tomorrow. If their bet wins ! Make no mistake ... they have no "fallback" position. It's everything or nothing to them. Do regular humans have a say? Of-course ... we just ram our "purchase choice" steel spear right up their azzwhole and bleed them out. But ... we must make that decision .. and ignore all the ads pimping *.ai as sovereign solution for all our issues. /rant

Fear ? With government willing/anxious to be the lender-of-last-resort for big companies they can take an chance with nothing to fear. If his friend eats a cookie, he orders a lemon cake. Like a rich families spoiled child he lacks the discipline which in fact he doesn't need.

I have a different take on the AI disruption. For unsupported home users of modern Linux use of an "AI-adviser" is necessary. Both of my Ubuntu systems went down this week, and only the *.ai from a major company allowed me to make repairs. Complexity makes trouble-shooting modern Linux impossible ... in the AI-aided trouble-shooting I ran into so many Linux micro-"horrors" that only another computer could deal with them. Took about 30 hours over 4 days ... the *.ai never complained and I thought the intensity was pretty amusing ... I mean just two self-built home computers with decent cpu/gpu combos. WTF! When I first tried Linux you got the CD-disks, wound them up and you had a default working system. Not so now ... so AI will find a place on every home-Linux users computer . Now, is that a disruption or a practical service? I'd pay for it !

Very well written ... over-written I'd say. Skilled propaganda. Sounds like this guy has LOTS of stock options to dump. A true take-home message would be: computers will soon run themselves. That's a good thing, for such human-toxic devices; creating human coders/architects is a form of child abuse. Humans are concrete, analog,iterative, heuristic, intuitive, approximating, emotional, value-defining creatures. The field, sea, forest , work-bench or guild-shop is their natural habitat. Good fortune will allow our return to that "paradise" while toxic ( think mental Cyanide ) digital machinery takes care of its own.

Since you talk about price-points, did you mean "low-ball" ... not 'snowball'. Cause poor people low-ball their purchases of everything from pajamas to pork chops.
Who gets 'snowballed' are high-maintain women shoppers who must keep up with the pack from Coach hand-bags to baby diapers. Cost is no object to them , except higher prices are precious commodity doled out to those women with filthy rich husbands. They will buy anything at any price that sets them apart. So really jack-up the price of fake-meat cause those top 3% women will rave over it like werewolves over a fresh carcass..

You make the standard Randist blunder worshiping tragedy-of-the-Commons". Your agency over your property ends at my property line.

Yep --- you may not "mine" on your own property if mine tailings/run-off crosses my property line. Tuff tit to those sociopaths who would privatize profits while socializing costs.
