I can see how you may find this news upsetting, I suggest you talk to your doctor about Lexapro to help you through these times.

Well no fucking shit Sherlock, they are peddling it like a drug "reality is harsh here's something to help you escape from it" and gullible people are going in head first.

The obvious end goal of the push for LLMs. Centralized control over information that can be used to bend public opinion and trends.

The biggest end goal is scanning everyone’s data that we will only be able to store in the cloud because they bought all the storage and memory. This is useful far beyond advertising.

But yes, skewing public opinion is part 2 of that.

The spy agencies finally got their mind control except this is America so it’s also privatized.

The past was alterable. The past never had been altered. Oceania was at war with Eastasia. Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia.

We need an amplified version of the surprised Pikachu meme for some of these AI news. Literally everyone saw it coming. Especially AI bros who lied through their teeth when they claimed it wouldn‘t.
