He's talking about "LLM Utility companies going down and the world becoming dumber" as a sign of humanity's progress.

This if anything should be a huge red flag

Replace with "Water Utility going down and the world becoming less sanitary", etc. Still a red flag?

You're making leap of logic.

Before water sanitization technology we had no way of sanitizing water on a large scale.

Before LLMs, we could still write software. Arguably we were collectively better at it.

LLMs are general-purpose tools used for great many tasks, most of them not related to writing code.
