I don’t understand why tech companies are investing so much in AI. Are there any industries that show real promise in terms of revenue or power?
From my perspective it all just seems a bit “kind of useful”, not justifying the expense.

I find it stilly that they’re still relying on LLMs for the prospect of AGI. It never was and never will be more than a clumsy autocorrect.
I’ve seen this one a few times and it’s puzzled me a bit for a while now, I don’t think anyone in these companies think iterating on an LLM model alone is going to give them AGI
You only have to look at how Claude Code has taken off in the past 6 months. Sure the model is a big factor, but it’s the tooling built on top of it that makes it useful and disruptive. The model is what enabled the utility, when attached to conventionally engineered tooling.
Whenever the first AGI is created, an LLM will 100% be part of the implementation, it’s just more than a one piece puzzle
When Sam Altman and other techbros say that their LLMs will be AGI any minute now and the stocks keep going up then yes, they do believe it.
Yes, LLMs will be the way to present output in a human sounding format from some other AI implementation that is consistent and reliable. That isn’t what is currently in the works though, they are just throwing more and more resources at LLMs as if the techbros were right.
