Social media offered no value. If LLMs get about 5x better at what they do they offer a lot in terms of medical discoveries, governance, dirt cheap labor, fully automated raw material to end product pipelines, automated farming and the list goes on and on.

Dirt cheap labor doesn't sound good for the working class. At best they get a livable UBI, while the capital class becomes even richer and more powerful.

I don't know where you're getting governance and manufacturing stuff that sounds like advanced robotics out of LLMs.

You should read a book on how LLMs actually work on a technical level. Saying they just need to get "5x better" and suddenly they're performing miracles is just nonsense hyperbole
I’m very aware of how they work and pretty much everything they do is emergent.
