    And so, pivot to the next buzzword begins. Will it capture imagination of investors and general public alike similar to LLMs? Objectively that’s doubtful but then again I was saying the same about couple of previous buzzwords only to be disappointed time and time again lol. Those Homo sapiens are a bunch of suckers.

      Please let this happen. I’m fucking sick of the willful and disinformation-based bullshit around LLMs.

        LLMs are being sold as a service already. I have utmost faith that someone will come up with some kind of snake oil (call it QPU tentatively) and say your phone is obsolete if it doesn’t have one.
