      It’s a model with heavy cold war liberalism bias (due to information being fed to it), unless you prompt it - you’ll get freedom/markets/entrepreneurs out of it for any problem. As people are treating them as gospel of the impartial observer - shrug-outta-hecks

        The fate of the world will be ultimately decided on garbage answers spewed out by an LLM trained on Reddit posts. That’s just how the future leaders of the world will base their decisions on.

        That’s not the technology’s fault though, it’s just that the technology is produced by an imperialist capitalist society that treats cold war propaganda as indisputable fact.

        Feed different data to the machine and you will get different results. For example if you just train a model on CIA declassified documents it will be able to answer questions about the real role of the CIA historically. Add a subjective point of view on these events and it can either answer you with right wing bullshit if that’s what you gave it, or a marxist analysis of the CIA as an imperialist weapon that it is.

        As with technology in general, it’s effect on society lies with the hands that wield it.

          Put it that way, even if one feeds it cia files to the hearts content, the weights of words which are needed to construct sentences is still sitting somewhere there. (also answering about real role of cia implies llm has any idea about reality, it will just bias answer in another direction, just as marxist analysis: it will just reproduce likeliest answer resembling marxist literature you fed to it, not “have analysis”).

          Benign application of llm is natural language processing into fixed functions on the back end (e.g. turn off the lights when it start raining or whatever, something which can be disassembled from millions of ways into same set of instructions, here its fuzziness is great)

          Feed different data to the machine and you will get different results.

          These things have already eaten all the data that there is, and I don’t need to tell you that, but that data, as it has been produced almost solely under capitalism, is just crap.
