    They were a significant advancement, yes. But they were a dead end and that’s why we dropped them seventy years ago

    That’s not to say they’re useless, but the hype does negate literally ever use case that shouldnt get you abd your family dragged around the country on meat hooks-admittedly they’re quite good for some of those.

          That’s like saying “All Modern Games are a dead end. We’ve had Gouraud Shading since 1971.”

          Just because all 3D games use a “dead end” shader doesn’t mean they can’t be a multi billion industry. Games look great using primitive shading algorithms that we know are a dead end to achieving photo realistism.

            I’m also not saying LLMs and Markov Chains don’t have a use. Just it’s a dead end towards general artifical intelligence

            If someone was claiming they were working on making a game that contained all games, we would all laugh at them because we know gaming well enough to understand there absurd. But when we talk about computer intelligence like that, some people are like, “well, maybe” because they don’t understand computer intelligence.
