Yeah, they’ll get their result, but they literally destroyed everything just to make it.

I really don't think that's even the case. From what I understand of LLMs, the idea that you could make one of these things conscious and able to act on it's own is pretty unlikely, but the industry has leaned into that hype because people rejected a lot of recent tech trends (often because it wasn't cost effective for most like 3D television or AR like the Apple headset whatever it was that sold so badly, even Zuckerberg's beta on the Metaverse failed) and the last big one, social media, has been curated and controlled by media conglomerates behind the scenes so much that people were rejecting that as well finally. There is no new thing they can actually generate hype around other than trying to convince people these things will be conscious and not make mistakes. They're riding it until bubble pops, it's literally just a game of hot potato, but they also think if they can sink the US government at the same time they can take over. That's why you have Bezos pushing the idea that taxing him won't change anything which is absolute horseshit, because he thinks he's going to be actually in charge of the entire northwest, soon.
