> "person who likes making things chooses making things over Netflix" This is subtly different. It's not clear that the people depicted like making things, in the sense of enjoying the process. The narrative is about LLMs fitting into the already-existing startup culture. There's already a blurry boundary between "risky investment" and "gambling", given that most businesses (of all types, not just startups) have a high failure rate. The socially destructive characteristic identified here is: given more opportunity to pull the handle on the gambling machine, people are choosing to do that at the expense of other parts of their life. But yes, this relies on a subjective distinction between "building, but with unpredictable results" and "gambling, with its associated self-delusions".
