What a typical republican. Who cares if it‘s 100% correct, but it makes me feel good about what I hear.
Feels before reals, a snowflake in his safe space.
If this was an engineer discussing how to architect something, I'd just nod and agree, it's not 100% correct but whatever, it's like a rubber ducky method on steroids.
HOWEVER this is a fucking politician who writes laws. From a national security perspective, this is 100% fucked. There is huge gain to be had out of monitoring their accounts alone, but this is beyond that. It means monitoring and controlling their thought processes.
All Sam Altman has to do is give a special prompt or fine tuned model to politicians and have it lean towards policies he agrees with. You can puppet these dudes by controlling their internal monologue with LLM if the end up relying on it for this... It's totally fucked.
It's as if it was the 70s and one of your US senators was going to a psychologist who was secretly a USSR agent. It's that level of fucked.
The LLM models are already designed to be compliant and not turn people off to their use by contradicting them or making them feel bad about the discussion. IOW, contradiction will be minimal of it exists at all so people stay engaged.
Grok has already been tuned to not contradict right wing views or at least not criticize them so quickly as it had previously famously done. I haven’t heard about the others, but I’m sure they all bend the knee similarly to their wealthy overlords.
