Iirc we have the ancient greeks to thank for the current distinction. They named Europe the region north of greece, and Asia the region east of Anatolia, and then eventually decided that their actual boundary should be the middle of the black sea

Respectfully disagree. It’s because of the systematic insistence that we need to build data centers to support a demand that doesn’t exist.
Same thing would happen if corporations lost their minds over hammers and insisted we had to build hammer factories everywhere and sell hammers to stirr your coffee.
LLMs are a tool just like any other. There are tasks they can be useful, and others that they’re not.
The problem is that corporations and others are trying to force it down our throats in every single place as possible in their maddening quest to get a return in their investments.
That would be eventually. Back then, Europe and Asia weren’t continents, they were names of undetermined regions that were north or east of them respectively.
I don’t know when or who decided “you know what? This whole region? It’s a continent, and let’s call it Europe” (maybe the Romans? Or even the Greeks?).
