2017 Autocomplete Twitter Game Is Now America's Only Business Model

Description

A dark-mode screenshot of a Mastodon/fediverse post by 'Jennifer' (@[email protected], mushroom emoji, glitch-art avatar, posted 6d ago): 'in 2017 a popular twitter game was to type a partial phrase then see what your phone auto-completes it with. this proved so popular that it is now the only business model in the US.' The post reduces the entire LLM economy to its bluntest framing - next-token prediction as the keyboard autocomplete party trick of 2017, scaled into the dominant pillar of the US tech economy and stock market. The fediverse venue adds flavor, being the natural habitat of AI-skeptic commentary
