some french dude opened a street cart on a back alley in Bangkok and would smash out the most incredible steaks at lunchtime
Here’s a topic outside the news.
What’s the most unlikely place you’ve ever had the best particular food or drink you’ve ever had?
Like, not the best steak at the world’s top steakhouse. Something weirder.
Best burger I’ve ever had? Fresno airport.
Best cup of coffee? Crater Lake Lodge.

If you can substitute "hungry ghost trapped in a jar" for "AI" in a sentence it's probably a valid use case for LLMs. Take "I have a bunch of hungry ghosts in jars, they mainly write SQL queries for me". Sure. Reasonable use case.
"My girlfriend is a hungry ghost I trapped in a jar"? No. Deranged.

Musk is a parasite on the future; he preys upon the imagination of others, taking any vision of a better world and depreciating it by hawking options on a transparently fake facsimile.
He is capitalism's full-throated assault on the utopian imaginary.
