The Strip Mining Era of LLMs—And Why It's About to End | E2141

I noticed that on OpenAI at least, the sources are kind of buried now. They don't put them up prominently enough. I think they should say, you know, we collected this information from this website before they present the data. Honestly, I think everybody should block these tools and they should en masse sue these LLMs for a licensing fee. This is all good for the industry.

The industry starts to need to thinking. needs to start thinking about sustainability, not just doing what they're doing now, which is strip mining. Uh the strip mining by LLMs is going to just destroy the environment and then there'll be nothing left for everybody else. Uh stop taking the calkite from Gorbin, destroying the planet, or the kyber crystals, you know. Uh it's almost like overfishing.

They're overfishing. They're going to take every piece of cod out of the ocean and then they're going to wonder where the cod went. Just take 10% of the cod, you know? Like you don't have to take 100% uh and and maybe, you know, leave whatever the cod eat, you know, like you gotta be sustainable. This week in startups is brought to you by LinkedIn Jobs.
