I have a theory that one big reason llms get so much hype is that due to financialization the people in charge of tech companies are finance grifters who have never once, ever, used sed or awk or grep and would be totally unable to describe how they work.

I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

One sign of a bubble is when the major players do gimmicks to hide the cost of the bubble.
