I mean.... There was jfk. He was on a lot of strange stuff by Dr Morell (?) , who he called "Dr Feel good"

That said, Trump is nothing like jfk tho. Jfk was a deeply serious guy all things considered and despite his vices. Trump is nothing but an impulsive child.

For sure man. Haha yeah we are. It's true. This is the critical aspect: teaching the spaghetti to harvest itself, make itself and cook itself. I think we are a ways away from it, but who knows. Energy requirements is also a huge issue.

Yup. Like I also said. It might not be LLMs. The same was once true of steam engines, which were great at long distances perhaps but were huge, heavy, expensive and complicated and required a team of people to operate. Horses became even more valuable for their last mile stuff. It took time before the internal combustion engine and 4 stroke compression suddenly made engine power smaller, cheaper, more efficient and easy to operate by a single person. In 1918, the US for example had 27 million head of horse, by 1960 it was 3 million. All I'm saying is that it will happen. When? I have no idea.

The lump of labour fallacy was applicable to horses for 2000 years, new inventions that improved efficiency increased their demand ever further until the internal combustion engine closed every remaining niche all at once. The same will happen to us, it's mathematically inevitable. It might not be LLMs that do it, but something will.
