LLMs are now like major highways, and everyone thinks theyll solve software jams by just adding one more lane; but that just induces demand, and doesnt increase efficiency because the traffic jam is about how people evaluate usage and fill the voids.

Similar to how we upgraded computers for decades and the software bloated to fill the specs
