It’s funny that I’ve gotten lots of replies but none answering the question that’s clearly stated as the first sentence.
People like to read parts of posts and then reply to posts as if it doesn’t contain anything else than the part they were interested in.

This is going across literally all things, from the smallest issue like the cardboard for your aluminum foil package being so thin you can’t tear it correctly anymore to healthcare with “AI”.
(Note: this is not “enshittification”, a term that only applies to a very specific subset of these things [two-sided online platforms], please do not reply with comments about it.)

If you think the SpaceX IPO doesn’t affect you—it will soon be included in various index funds which in turn means that probably at least a part of your retirement savings will depend on it (even if you’re not in the US); and even if not directly so it will affect you indirectly.
If you ever wanted to know how mass psychosis looks like, see the people greedily pushing and investing in “AI” and “space colonization”.

This would include fascinating topics like “fully read a social media post before replying” and “question the ultimate agendas of media outlets, corporate public relations departments and of governments”.

And even for the most optimal of use cases, code generation, which gives an LLM every possible advantage (huge amounts of self-similar training data with millions of iterations of the same problems and solutions, strictly deterministic symbol sequences in highly simplified languages), LLMs are starting to approach local maxima; they’re even regressing when context windows get too large (so more capable hardware doesn’t help).
I still strongly believe that they’re useless for 99% of tasks they’re marketed for and for the rest (like coding) there will be locally run solutions that are affordable.
