These are thoughts of someone who's very good at putting words together, but sadly has little experience with the subject matter.

> I’ve thought about this a lot over the last few years, and I think the best response is to stop.

This is exactly where it shows.

LLMs, agents and whatever comes next are not only the future of tech, but they are going to be national resilience drivers for the countries that will be able to support them with power, water and science.

Who is supposed to stop? The US? China? Russia? Everyone? Of course this won't happen. This is an arms race.

But even if it weren't, stopping is the wrong answer. You don't have to outsource your thinking, writing or reading. How you use LLMs is entirely up to you.

There is a way to use LLMs which is beneficial. I treat them as a private tutor available to me for questions. This solved a lot of friction I had with my relationship with LLMs.

More telling is that the author mainly thinks about their relationship with LLMs while in reality the space has moved on to automation with agents. You don't interact with LLMs as much as before, and if you still do, then soon you won't.

Ahents are not really ML. It's harnesses and parsing and memory and metrics. It's software. Should we stop this as well?
