The word “intelligence” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. LLMs lack any mechanism for true logical reasoning, and they always will by nature. This is why they fail at simple questions like “the car wash test”. It’s also why agents are expensive; They just flail around in token hungry “reasoning loops” until they happen to come across a correct solution. And it’s why Claude Opus 4.8 (High) only scores 1.5% on the ARC-AGI-3 benchmark at a cost of $10,000.
This kind of panic is just part of the hype. Wake me up when real intelligence arrives.
Computers are not actually intelligent. What are they but big calculators? They are removing jobs and barely doing anything better! They take up a whole room! No one needs that!
The internet is hardly worth anything. It’s nothing but scams and porn! You can’t believe anything you read on it! It’s overhyped nonsense! No one is going to use that!
Meanwhile in 2026: LLMs have no logical reasoning and that will never change! They can’t answer simple questions! They just flail around and produce slop!
It doesn’t need to be our new cyber god for it to matter. All the software developers I know use AI as a tool. One person I know who heads a department at a publicly traded company you’ve probably heard of said they’re not hiring more junior developers, and is worried about his long term career outlook.
That’s concerning right? Capitalists who have a choice between hiring ten people or hiring one person who supervises an AI doing the work of nine are going to choose the cheaper option, and pocket the difference.
To say that LLMs are not useful to me indicates a lack of familiarity. I’m not taking about bullshit “write this email for me” type stuff, I mean like “write this web app for me” “find this type of document in this massive trove of documents” “troubleshoot this technical issue”. And it can do it.
LLMs are not replacing humans, but they are reducing labor required for many tasks. Who receives the benefit from that reduced labor? Right now, owners. That’s why I support open source AI or preferably democratic-entity-only open source AI.

You guys don’t see it? Really?
