- "LLMs are being forced on everyone by deeply unprofitable companies? Doesn't matter, *future efficient* AI will make it super cheap." - "LLMs produce buggy, unreliable code? Doesn't matter, *future smarter and cheap* AI will fix all the bugs." 2/7

- "LLMs lead to de-skilling of software engineers with decades of institutional knowledge? Doesn't matter, *future smart* AI will replace all software engineers anyway." 3/7
