    I don’t understand your point. How is it good that the developers thought they were faster? Does that imply anything at all in LLMs’ favour? IMO that makes the situation worse because we’re not only fighting inefficiency, but delusion.

    20% slower is substantial. Imagine the effect on the economy if 20% of all output was discarded (or more accurately, spent using electricity).
