    Arcade Fire's song Deep Blue fits this mood well. And the album it's on, The Suburbs, is a story of civil war in suburban America.

    It's not a perfect analogy but I often compare the advent of LLM development to the Battle of Crécy [1], where the introduction of the longbow meant that a common peasant with minimal training could potentially bring down a knight who had spent his entire life mastering the art of combat.

    I don't know.

    IBM's landmark chess-playing supercomputer that beat Kasparov in 1997 will always be what I think when I hear Deep Blue.

        I must have a more sophisticated sense of humor.
