    I think you are overestimating the knowledge of the average person. You still need to have an idea of what is html, DNS, cludflare. Most people wouldn't even know where to start lo…

    In general, a citation is something that needs to be precise, while LLMs are very good at generating some generic high probability text not grounded in reality. Sure, you could imp…

    Many people arguing that AI risk is real have big monetary incentives. Some are asking for money to study safety and influence the regulatory bodies. Others gain money because beli…
