I'm coming to realize that the problem with technology hype men - peddlers of unnecessary complexity of all kinds from cloud and kubernetes everything, to microservices and other architectural fetishes, agile/scrum rituals, and now LLMs, generative AIs etc... They all forget one big thing. For all the 'entropy lowering' powers of whatever they are selling, they always hide the entropy exhaust.
Thermodynamics ought to have taught us that we can only move entropy around. And all these silver bullets have giant gaping entropy exhausts that we get to find out about once they've been paid for.
