    You had me until:

    Imagine what companies would pay for the “intelligence” of knowing what their competitors are thinking

    Right there is the reason why it will fall apart once it hits critical mass.

    The little guys might not have a choice but the big players will run away from the cloud if it means they lose their edge.

    I kind of agree with you but from experience I know when businesses get way waaay too big, they kind of trip over themselves cause of all the tech debt and spaghetti code

      Oh, I don’t think it’ll work. They’ve sold their own snake oil to themselves. It’s a modern day Mechanical Turk. They’re in love with Eliza.

      LLMs are quite fast at summarizing large blobs of data though, and they’re so desperate to be first to market with this capability. They think they can become the all-seeing eye of Sauron (I mean…Palantir? Cmon), and they are salivating at the chance that it will work out for them.

      But they will fuck up computing for everyone else to get the chance. Already have, in fact.
