If you read one LLM skeptic, it should be Ed Zitron. No one rants like him, but unlike many a ranter, he backs things up with information. Great long piece.
The fact that Sam Altman can ship such mediocre software and get more coverage and attention than every meaningful scientific breakthrough of the last five years combined is a sign that our society is sick, our media is broken, and that the tech industry thinks we're all fucking morons.
That paragraph from about 2/3 of the way through sums things up nicely, but the entire piece is worth a read.

Great long piece
He needs an editor IMO, but I read his stuff. I don't agree with him 100% but he's a good skeptic to counter the non-stop hype machine and the naive consumers of the tech press.

Oh yeah. Sadly, I think the age of "everyone has a newsletter" has killed editing these days.
