Hype isn't going anywhere at this rate

> I think the hype will subside. Utility will certainly remain, but it's nowhere as high as the industry thinks - particularly in the ultimate metric of sustainable revenue, I greatly suspect.

When employers are pushing developers to "use AI or else we will fire you" and awarding people for more AI use, then this isn't going to happen. I think the best bet for the hype to die down is:

a) data centers are built and start screwing people over
b) the environmental impacts become clear
c) these AI companies start charging people appropriately for its use

As for local LLMs: They tend to be slow, my guess is because of a lack of training? I don't know, I stopped trying after a while because I didn't want to waste my time and spend my laptop battery figuring it out.
