  I cannot stress enough how correct this is. It feels like it’d be similar to early Covid lockdown. People with real jobs that contribute to things are still working while everyone else with the cushy meaningless jobs are sent home to do nothing where they complain and make things harder for the people actually doing things.

    I literally quit my job to join them because I couldn’t take it anymore and was met with an insane amount of harassment. Apparently I had be lucky to be considered essential.

      The Covid lockdowns made me feel crazy. There I was, sitting at home playing video games and smoking weed all day, every day, like God intended. Meanwhile, my roommate was going stir crazy because he really wanted to go back to work. I still don’t understand it.

    That’s a good comparison, because it illustrates very well why LLMs are so (seemingly) successful. If this useful technology were used primarily by the people who actually worked during COVID, there wouldn’t be a problem, because these people are very good at assessing what’s possible and what isn’t - since they actually understand their work. The problem - and the absurd hype - arises simply because LLMs reinforce the completely absurd ideas of incompetent people - and these are the ones who had nothing to do during the pandemic, since they do nothing but schedule pointless meetings and waste the time of those who are actually doing something meaningful.
