Back

I saw an article about a guy who used an LLM to apply to hundreds of jobs while he slept and woke up to offers for like 50 interviews.

So firms are using LLMs to automate parts of the job search process and skip straight to the parts that can’t be done by machines.

And workers are using LLMs to automate the same parts of the job search process and skip straight to the parts that can’t be done by machines.

So there are just all these LLMs talking to each other, at immense cost and effort, in order to get us right to…the same point we were at before LLMs.

When Joseph Tainter talked about societies collapsing when the marginal return on additional investments in complexity turns negative, this is what he meant. So much labor, so much money, so much energy and environmental destruction, all to…get us right back to where we started.
