Perhaps one of the reasons I'm not into LLMs is because I am not really convinced that what we need in the world is more stuff done faster.

I'd like to see a "slow the fuck down" movement and a "does this really need to be done?" movement.

Do corporations *really* need to be moving ever faster, generating more stuff, growing endlessly like cancers?

Maybe I'm just old and tired, but I'd like to have just... less of everything.

Except cat pictures, of course. Keep 'em coming.
