good shoes help me walk a bit faster, and for longer.

they don't let me walk at the pace of a SUV.

AI is like the good shoes. they help, and make many tasks a bit easier. but they can't make me into an SUV.

and if they can, then no programmers will have jobs. which is the end-state of this whole LLM thing as far as I can tell.




I have a good shoes business. Can you give me a couple of 100 billions of dollars? Good news I promise you trillions, in a year or two or 10 maybe, who knows you can exprapolate into a future science fiction reality yourself. So when are you transfering the money?


You are now moving the goal post from us discussing is this adding value to how much is it worth. There are a lot of open debate to some of the level of investment but from the hyperscaler territory, they are flush with cash and it probably hurts more under invest and be wrong than it is to over invest.
