But it's clear the LLM's have some real value, even if we always need a human-in-the-loop to prevent hallucinations it can still massively reduce the amount of human labour required for many tasks.
NFT's felt like a con, and in retrospect were a con. The LLM's are clearly useful for many things.
"AI safety" groups are part of what's described here: you might assume from the general "safety" label that organizations like PauseAI or ControlAI would focus things like data center pollution, the generation of sexual abuse material, causing mental harm, or many other things we can already observe. But they don't. Instead, "AI safety" organizations all appear to exclusively warn of unstoppable, apocalyptic, and unp…
You are the masses. Are you afraid?

The 'are LLMs intelligent?' discussion should be retired at this point, too. It's academic, the answer doesn't matter for businesses and consumers; it matters for philosophers (which everyone is even a little bit). 'Are LLMs useful for a great variety of tasks?' is a resounding 'yes'.
I think anyone who thinks that LLMs are not intelligent in any sense is simply living in denial. They might not be intelligent in the same way a human is intelligent, they might make mistakes a person wouldn't make, but that's not the question. Any standard of intelligence devised before LLMs is passed by LLMs relatively easily. They do things that 10 years ago people would have said are impossible for a computer to…
It's incredible that on Hacker News we still encounter posts by people who will or cannot differentiate mathematics from magic.

So there will be laws because not everyone can be trusted to host and use this "dangerous", new tech.
And then you have a few "trusted" big tech firms forming an oligopoly of ai, with all of the drawbacks.
