Y'all, I ain't kidding about LLMs being "word shoggoths"
especially if you read "Elder Things" as "Slow AI" LLCs
Look what it says on Wikipedia:
> Though able to "understand" the Elder Things' language, shoggoths had no real consciousness and were controlled through hypnotic suggestion.
> …exterminating the shoggoths was not an option as the Elder Things were dependent on them for labor and had long lost their capacity to create new life.
