LLMs? No. LLM companies? Yes. It's just math, data centers, and mass copyright infringement. The only scarcity is Nvidia, who just passed Apple in market cap, somewhat proving your point but not in the way you meant it.
If you consider Nvidia an LLM company, and I do at this point given how heavily they've invested in frontier labs and where much of their revenue comes from, they alone are worth slightly more than Apple.
They'll take a heavy hit stock wise, and might be an LLM company through all their shady financial constructions to keep the music going by propping up demand. But in the end, nvidia as a company has a place even when the frontier labs go bankrupt. Some other company will take their place. Worst case it'll be like the cable companies in the end 90s who found themselves out of work because they overbuilt for dotcom

Ok then iPhones are just metal, plastic, glass, and a delivery truck. You are just electric meat. This has to be one of the dumber comments I’ve read on here.
I think you're ignoring the role of capital gains taxes, borrowing against assets, offshore tax shelters, outsized political influence, and the cannibalization of public good for private gain.
As a sentient cephalopod who has enjoyed hacking staff computers when I slip out of my tank at the National Aquarium every night, I can only say it feels good to be seen. We're finally making progress on de-centering hominid perspectives in favor of a more diverse range of natural intelligences!
That's a bit of an exaggeration. Domain-validated certificates already existed, and were fairly commonplace, before Let's Encrypt. What was different about LE was that their certificates were free.
Let's not forget that it was mostly a manual process for most of us. Someone would obtain a cert, and email it to you, along with the private key. I'm sure old JIRA tickets would have so many "encrypted" zip files containing RSA 2048 keys and leaf certificates valid from 2008 to 2011.
Trump was defending H-1B a year ago even as his immigration crackdown was shifting into high gear. This is simply a pre-election move that will likely be reversed by the administration or the courts.
There's so many common sense, bipartisan things like those. A few are are uncapping the house, a federal holiday for election day, stock trading ban for politicians, data broker loophole, warrant requirement for your data on service providers.
I fear to think about where we would be without the constitution considering how authoritarian law enforcement is in the US. It's definitely lacking, but I am still grateful for it.
It's the CBC reporting on it in here, but the location was Milwaukee.

I’m betting the harassers are from CWCki/Kiwi farms, especially since there’s linked article below it to other events where Canadians were targeted by them.
They are an insane harassment group that goes to any length to harm what they term lolcows or have decided are bad people.
If you are familiar with the name they started out with harassing Chris Chan “for the lulz” and have gotten increasingly aggressive over the years.
The cops are definitely at some degree of fault here though. Going to the same address multiple times in a day if the article is accurate and treating everyone like a serious hostage situation is crazy.
Kiwi farms allows/encourages mockery of these people, and collection of everything they've ever said/done online (which some might consider doxxing), but notably, they do not allow planning harassment. Maybe people read KF and coordinate with others to swat lolcows, but that coordination does not happen on KF.
If you've ever wondered why KF is still around, that's a big part of it. They're also completely compliant with US law.
