Related to this topic, I have experienced LLMs that recommend against the use of books and courses and instead attempt to convince me that all I need is the LLM (nice product strategy lol). Part of this trend you're noticing could be people being persuaded they don't need structured traditional learning. I have noticed a disturbing trend of people using LLM output as a source of truth instead of validating its output against a source of truth (inverted use case).
Why is it when I saw this headline, I started singing “I don’t wanna be anything other than what I’ve been trying to be lately…all I have to do is be somebody else”
Zitron's "OpenAI is a Systemic Risk" piece is a scary read. One of the scariest things about it is that he doesn't even theorize about a potential future in which OpenAI, Microsoft, Oracle, SoftBank, and large venture capital firms somehow "see the light" and even ATTEMPT to scale back on their recklessness. There appears to be no turning back from this gargantuan money-burning (and planet-burning) project. Due to the fervent religiosity of its adherents, it is anathema to even question OpenAI's trajectory.

Thank you for writing this. Agree with many points especially AI being a compliment. What books do you read or recommend?
I never thought that movie was a prophecy… but here we are.

Love the title. Unfortunately that is the way a lot of people inside and outside of the industry think.
