    Every company feels like they need to get faster.

    Well yeah, they’re capitalist institutions. If they’re not growing exponentially, they’re failing.

    That’s not a snarky mockery of the attitude of leadership, that’s the logic of capital.

      Yes and no.

      Yes every company wants to move faster. I’m not arguing that.

      What I am saying, and I didn’t articulate well, is that each company thinks that LLMs are the secret sauce to moving at speeds beyond their wildest imagination. If they can crack the code they win.

      Suffice to say none do. And everyone is moving at the same speed.

        It’s not even guaranteed that moving faster is a good thing. The first to get somewhere will find out all the problems there, which the companies behind them will learn from, and avoid going there.

      But even then you actually need a direction to grow that translates to cash inflow.

      They generally don’t actually have an end specified, and get obsessed over the means which don’t translate to money.
