lot of investment being pumped into the shovel makers (nvidia), and the shovel sellers (csps).

those panning for gold (app devs, startups etc) may or may not find it. remains to be seen and i remain skeptical.

Yeah seems like more of a shovel-rush than a gold-rush
That's a good way of putting it. In my experience so far everyone is very excited to build LLM-enabled apps but outside of some customer service deployments (mostly at the megascale enterprise level), I haven't seen many actually successful efforts reported. Even the customer service bots always end up roundly mocked on social media once someone figures out they're talking to an LLM and tells it to pretend it's a fairy princess.
