It genuinely appalls me that in America we can have someone act as an unelected vice president —avoiding formal office to duck financial divestment requirements—and use “tactics … aimed at sowing terror and fear at federal employees”.

Elon Musk is destroying so much of what I hold dear.

When I said in 2022 that LLMs would hit a wall and that scaling laws would not last forever, everyone laughed.

Now even Time Magazine sees that the moment of diminishing returns has likely arrived.

Can a crash in GenAI valuations be far away?
