LLMs are not the most important breakthrough in AI ever, in the same way the NFTs are not the most important breakthrough in digital commerce ever. It's just a load of hype to generate big funding rounds. At least there's no cartoon apes this time around.

If it’s his project, as far as I’m concerned he’s within his rights deciding to make it do something different to what it did before, even if that is malicious. There is precedent for this with Chrome addon devs selling their addons to malware companies on the quiet.
