I think LLMs are accelerating us toward a Dune-like universe, where humans come before AI.

You say that as if it’s a bad thing. The bad thing is that to get there we’ll have to go through the bloody revolution to topple the AI that have been put before the humans. That is, unless the machines prevail.

You might think this is science fiction, but the companies that brought you LLMs had the goal to pursue AGI and all its consequences. They failed today, but that has always been the end game.

Got to go through the Butlerian Jihad first… not looking forward to that bit.

Close, but it's "Butlerian". Easy to remember if you know it's named after Samuel Butler.

That was one of the most unplausible aspects of that series, at least the subset of which was remotely plausible - i.e. there was alot of "magic".

Given two factions at war, one of which is using AI/machines and the other is not and wants to destroy them, my bet is on the side using AI/machines.

The alternative is far far worse.
