An idea occurs: LLMs are pyramids. Both are impressive because of their scale. Both are relatively simple concepts that were created by throwing unimaginable resources at them. Both purport to solve a problem in their society that isn't real. We shouldn't make more of either given the human cost.

I learned today that the pyramids weren't built by slaves, so that last one only kind of works. Don't think it'd be a good idea to pull a large chunk the Egyptian workforce away to build a giant tomb for the president though and definitely not under the safety standards of the time, so it can stay.
