LLMs are a fundamentally useless technology because their applications (supposedly) boil down to humans not having to think for themselves or do their own writing / drawing / filming.
But if you can do it on your own - why would you need a robot to do it? It’s, at best, a novelty.
That’s why this shit only resonates with executives and capital owners. “Get things done with fewer people and expenses” is at least an actual pitch. “Get things done faster for yourself” isn’t.
The individual angle really works for things you already were trying to avoid doing because you’re either disinterested or don’t have enough time to do things right.
“Avoid your work” as a value proposition doesn’t work when you’re dealing with intellectual labor rather than commodities. Not large scale, not long term.
Sorry for the rant, I saw some Notion ads on the subway and got irritated 😅

In Neapel war es drei Stunden früher als in Zentraleuropa. Der barocke Vortragssaal im Palazzo war leer, ich hatte also noch Zeit, ins Wiener Stadthallenbad zu gehen, wo ich Kollegin H. aus Heidelberg die Treppen hinabhuschen sah, mich freute, jedoch bemerkte, dass ich meine Jahreskarte vergessen hatte und eine Einzelkarte lösen musste. Beim Umziehen stand ich natürlich wieder im barocken Vortragssaal im neapolitanischen Palazzo, was dachten Sie denn. (

A nice obituary from December 31, 2024 about my Great Uncle Herman Neufeld (my mom's Uncle).
I never really knew him as I grew up 4000km away... but he had a positive impact on people, especially Jamaican workers, in Niagara-on-the-Lake.
"Herman, who died Dec. 31, became very involved in the Niagara Workers Welcome services and other outreach programs. He considered the farmworkers his friends and neighbours, and treated them as such."
