You wonder though, with the big players, whether they can lobby / pay off trump in some way to not be affected? I mean look at how the China tariffs changed overnight to not include mobile phones etc. Can’t have the majority of Apple’s production being subject to tariffs (they sure can’t make them in the US for the same cost)!

“It's not a tech issue. It's a political issue.”

It kinda is a tech issue if the output is skewed because nefarious parties are feeding the model shit.

If they control the tech and what’s being fed into it then it makes the process rife for manipulation.

Of late, my biggest concern is certain parties feeding LLMs with a different version of history.

Search has become so shit of late that LLMs are often the better path to answering a question. But as everyone knows they are only as good as what they’ve been trained on.

Do we, as a society, move past basic search to a preference for AI to answer our questions? If we do, how do we ensure that the history they feed the models is accurate?

I somewhat agree with that (good for information retrieval).

I say somewhat because they will downright lie , until/unless you call them out.

You need to have an idea of whether what they are telling you is in fact true or not.

I find them very useful for programming snippets because a) I can usual grok whether what they’ve provided is what I’ve asked for and b) the proof is in the pudding (does the code do what I want?)

Doesn’t look much like waking up to me. Rolling over and going back to sleep maybe?

Depends in the VPN. I’m having to use multi-hop now with Freetube but with that turned on it is working consistently for me again.
