LLMs don't work, all companies building them loose enourmous amounts of

Every time you see the word "smart" used to describe a device, replace it with
"surveillance." Surveillance watch. Surveillance streetlights. Surveillance
oven. Surveillance toilet. Surveillance car. Surveillance city. (@mollyali)
