LLMs are the input to the next big thing.
- LLMs are the input to the next big thing.[amq]
- LLMs are like electricity[ams]: a general technology that reconfigures the costs of key inputs, making wildly new kinds of things feasible.
- LLMs are good for a number of things, like applying human-level common sense.
- One application is that you can make crappy small bits of software effectively for free–a massive change.
- Now that this input has gotten so cheap, it's a long journey to figure out what to build with them.
- So many things we take for granted as being infeasible are now feasible… but it will take time to discover which ones.
- We are in the early innings!
- The LLM model providers are the electricity providers.
- Expensive, competitive, value-creating... but not necessarily a great business.
