Did any of these come to anything? Of course not, but that was, when it comes to it, hardly the point.&lt;p&gt;LLMs are a particularly dramatic example, but I suspect the dynamic is, in reality, more or less the same as metaverses, blockchains, the _previous_ AI bubble (remember the year or so when everyone was announcing chatbots, until Microsoft Tay kinda scared everyone off it abruptly?), and so on.</text></comment>
