    No the best hope is the bubble bursting an d a whole bunch of filthy capitalists wind up against the wall, put there by the people closest to them they fucked over.

    In an ideal world LLMs would have stayed as a niche little research project that the researchers found the extents of long before anyone thought to turn them into the next block chain or NFTs. Gradually they would have diffused out as another data science tool that has some interesting applications but not a vehicle for the radical destabilization of the world we all live in.
