Really is an exciting future ahead. So many lost arts that don't need a dedicated human to relearn deep knowledge required to make an update.

A reminder though these LLM calls cost energy and we need reliable power generation to iterate through this next tech cycle.

Hopefully all that useless crypto wasted clock cycle burn is going to LLM clock cycle burn :)

yes they do! those are the humans that pass down those lost arts even if the audience is a handful. to trust an amalgamation of neurally organized binary carved intricately into metal with deep and often arcane knowledge and the lineage of lessons that produced it is so absurd that if a catastrophe that destroyed life as we know it did occur, we deserve our fate of devolution back to stone tools and such.
