LLM’s are nice. But if push came to shove, we could very easily continue on without them, or without them involved in every aspect.

Being able to write cutesy SaaS apps faster is neat, but not like, essential, the way water is.

LLMs are a “nice to have” blows my mind. LLMs power autonomous drones that kill real people in real wars. Coding agents are the primary way people code. That and we get a GPT4->5 jump every 18 months. Are we on the same planet?

LLMs conduct strikes on children which a human may not have done. so wow, you got a frontier model but you lost something there in the process.

[aspenmartin]

Why are we missing the point here: LLMs are of major geopolitical significance. Autonomous drones kill children, now what? Would you rather have a home grown frontier model capability to defend yourself? Or would you prefer to rely on the good graces of tech CEOs?

I think the EU would prefer wars not happen and that they never have to think about defending their borders or themselves. This is fantasy land, but the cafes and museums and old city squares are gorgeous.

If that's all you're using LLMs for, you've definitely fallen behind.
