"But the LLMs won't just go away, right?"
Says who? The technology is ecologically and economically unsustainable. The people who are most enthusiastic about the slop machines are those who are trying to extract money by building or using them. The rest of us has to deal with the fallout somehow while others reap the benefits (in fictional valuations, not actual profits, mind you).
The technology is a failure. What is keeping it alive is tech bro fanaticism paired
with capitalist sociopathy.

@r_alb@mastodon.social To quote @davidgerard@circumstances.run If someone says “AI is here to stay,” nail them down on what the precise claim is they’re making. Details. Numbers. What do you mean by being here? What would failure mean? Get them to make their claim properly. I mean, they won’t answer. They never answer. They never had a claim in mind. They were just making promotional mouth noises. https://pivot-to-ai.com/2025/07/10/ai-is-here-to-stay-is-it-though-what-do-you-mean-stay/

@r_alb@mastodon.social I have a bad feeling that AI is just a cover for then using the GPU clusters for something bigger, like attacking cryptocurrencies, or breaking encryption keys at scale.
