Literally nobody saw this coming. Not a single podcast. Not even a saucy Brit could have foreseen this. It was just not possible.

It's like every techbro is on a bus and nobody wants to get off the bus because if one person gets off the bus then the whole bus crashes. But if they all stay on it goes off a cliff. Kind of a win-win, but it won't be pretty.

I've actually gotten to the point where I'd be happy to pay a small subscription fee if it guaranteed I'd never have to be involved with this daft LLM chatbot stupidity ever again. Okay, that's not true -- I'm open to it being a *large* subscription fee.
