alt Hacker NewsI have long believed that LLMs will herald a new corporate data transfer format, unlike most new formats that boast efficiency gains and compression, this new format will be incredibly wasteful and bloat transmission sizes.
I'll want to communicate something to my team. I'll write 4 bullet points, plug it into an LLM, which will produce a flowing, multi paragraph e-mail. I'll distribute it to my co-workers. They will each open the e-mail, see the size, and immediately plug it into an LLM asking it to make a 4 bullet summary of what I've sent. Somewhere off in the distance a lake will dry up.

And hopefully they're the same four same bullet points..

Ah, yes, the LLM Exchange Protocol.
I believe it's already in place, making the internet a bit more wasteful.

All while both sides were charged per token for processing. This is _the dream_ of these AI firms.
