That it's produced *something* should not be surprising. That's 'solve aging', 'cure cancer', 'eliminate all poverty', 'shift climate change into reverse', or 'send a probe to another solar system' money. It's not 'write shit software 20% faster' money.

what is the antecedent to "this"

a very common error on social media, a pronoun without a clear antecedent

LLMs are designed to give even more power to the 1%, it's the perfect scheme, you pay for a tech that makes you stupid and more dependent on said tech. If LLMs could really empower the regular person, they would NOT be pushing it down everyone's throats.

That definitely changes the equation!

Let alone the other impacts like the rising cost of electronics parts meaning smaller businesses can't afford to start or ship product.

AI is a trainwreck, this is going to be worse than the dotcom bubble when it goes bad...

It truly is the ultra wealthy creating a new asbestos that they fully intend to make everyone swallow regardless of the detrimental impact because it gives them more power and control.

It's not about profits, they have plenty of money. This is about controlling a population when people become desperate.
