Yeah AGI is a mistake. Maybe someday, but what we need know is token efficient LLMs that are designed for for more specific tasks.

There's a lot of data that it could be helpful for analyzing, but if there's customer data in there that you can't share with a third party? Can't use any of these tools. An appliance in your company's server room with a bunch of GPUs that's optimized for data analysis, that's something I'd be interested in. But with the price of GPUs right now, that's unlikely to happen.

So the bubble needs to burst before LLMs are truly useful.
