Let's actually not talk about LLMs.

I honestly couldn't force myself to finish yet another blog post about how "we're not yet sure what impact LLMs will have on society" or whatever beleaguered point the author was attempting to make.

"Some random person's take on LLMs" was maybe interesting in 2024. Today it is not even remotely interesting.

There are a gazillion more interesting things happening today that ought to be of interest to the median HN reader. Can we talk about those instead?
