I'm really disappointed when these blog posts insist on political navelgazing.

There's no political angle worth discussing because none of them touch the ground. We have to look at what we have with sober eyes and ignore the grifters who insist "AGI is coming".

What we have is a copypasta fraud machine. There's no discussion to be had beyond that. It's illegal in most use cases, and a source of implementation uncertainty in all others. No new capabilities have been unlocked from this, nor will ever be. We just found a way to cut cost where the cost was already minimal.
