LLMs are 100% not sustainable. It costs more to make and run one than it will ever generate in revenue; just running it costs more than they'll ever be able to charge for it.
But! We have a precedent! Oil, at least Canadian oilsands oil, can't be made profitably. The solution, because we are an oil dependent civilisation, is unlimited government subsidy.
If they make everything dependent on LLMs, then govs will *have* to pay!

@silvermoon82 This is very similar to some of Jensen Huang from NVIDIA's recent comments about political support for energy as the fundamental requirement for AI https://www.pcgamer.com/software/ai/nvidia-ceo-jensen-huang-calls-trump-americas-unique-advantage-because-hes-ramping-up-us-energy/
