PSA: you can ignore the entirety of the LLM-industrial-complex without falling for the “see they are useful for something after all” narrative:

- these systems are based on theft (some of that still makes its way through the courts)

- they are designed to centralise power in the hands of very few people who are also objectively the worst people

- the businesses are not sustainable, nobody disagrees the bubble will pop before long, so making your craft depend on a subscription seems silly
