Spotify provides a real, tangible service. I pay for access to music I get access to music.

What service does an LLM actually provide? They can’t be relied on for accurate information, they can’t reason, the only thing they seem to be able to do is psychologically manipulate their users. That makes money now, but in six months? A year? We’re already seeing usage fall despite some of the wealthiest companies on the planet burning unfathomable amounts of money.

Capitalism, shortsighted? Say it ain’t so!
