I hate this fucking shit so much. "But think of the potential!"

The purpose of a system is what it does. Full stop.

    If LLMs heighten the contradictions of the political economy of science and push it towards a new model, I won't be upset about it.

    In the current system, that only happens if porky-happy can get immediately richer or if he can be convinced that it'll make him richer soon. The contradictions, like in so many other things, are otherwise maintained even at the expense of future profitability.
