   @muzzle @thomasfuchs An LLM isn’t a lossy JPEG for text. A lossy JPEG of a cat doesn’t show you a photo of a horse’s arse. And your other two deductions are non sequiturs.

     @thomasfuchs while I understand the sarcasm, I find your take a bit too partial. LLMs may be lossy JPEGs for text, but JPEGs have their uses.

     Also, by your logic, mastodon is just a less efficient twitter and the fediverse is the 00's internet but harder to use.

     @thomasfuchs this ordering implies a hierarchy and the need for a horrifying crypto chatGPT hybrid

     @thomasfuchs Society glorifies the stories of successful salesmen, not the engineers whose innovations they sold.

     @thomasfuchs is there any reason to expect the market to change, such that "producing a good or service that solves a problem for somebody" will become a valuable and rewarded economic activity?
