Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Built on copyright infringement, not plagarism (the data scientists that built them aren't going around pretending all the training content was their ideation/creation). There are so many NLP tasks and areas of research that have been wholly obsoleted due to LLMs including sentiment analysis, summarization, translation, NER, data extraction, etc., so I find the "no known use case" to be rather ignorant. The first consumer computers also had tremendous costs. Paradigm shifts in technology are never cheap until scaling.

I think this comment is unfair toward @cubism_[email protected] and you should reflect a bit on why that is.
