They want to throw LLMs at everything even if it does not make sense. Same is true for all the AI agent craze: https://medium.com/thoughts-on-machine-learning/langchains-s...

If feels like the entire world has gone crazy.

Even the serious idea that the article thinks could work is throwing the unreliable LLMs at verification! If there's any place you can use something that doesn't work most of the time, I guess it's there.

This is typical of any hype bubble. Blockchain used to be the answer to everything.

What's after this? Because I really do feel the economy is standing on a cliff right now. I don't see anything after this that can prop stocks up.

That’s because we are still waiting for the 2008 bubble to pop, which was inflated by the 2020 bubble. It’s going to be bad. People will blame trump, Harris would be eating the same shit sandwich.

It’s gonna be bad.

What makes you think he won't just inflate the bubble again?

Should we expect money pumps to generate inflation quicker on this cycle than on the last ones? If so, why?

I think only an ignorant person doesn’t see the train wreck coming, and how making more money won’t fix fuck all.
