I think that’s throwing out the baby with the bathwater. But regulation and hitting these companies with false advertisement penalties is something we need ASAP. And liability. If the creator of a model can be made liable for damages, that would pump the breaks on this bullshit very hard. Funny how all the so-called AI companies are averse to any of that …
I think you can trust the operational side of it. I don’t think they’ve had many detrimental oopsies, the services work. I used them for a year and then jumped ship. One reason is the favorable comments by their CEO about the 47 administration, which I didn’t like. Another reason is the nitty gritty - they don’t clearly advertize what’s part of what package and I felt that was by design to get you to upgrade. And they definitely see themselves as a basket for all of your eggs. If you are moving there because you want to degoogle your life you end up just protonizing it. It’s better to spread around your stuff so you’re not dependent on one provider. If you just want a good VPN and don’t care about the rest of their services and the politics, you could make worse choices.
I feel like the Atari 2600 is quickly becoming for so-called AI what the “how much is a gallon of milk?” gotcha question had become for politicians who run for office. A rather pointless bit of news.
As Scotty said: the right tool for the right job. An LLM is maybe not a chess engine and that’s fine too. Why would we expect these models to be Magnus effing Carlson if they cannot reliably summarize an email or recommend eating pebbles?
This verification efforts were kicked off earlier this month; this app hasn’t really launched yet, has it? I think proper implementation after a test phase will maybe come next year. I think it is too early to complain that aftermarket OS’s are being excluded. It seems to me that nobody has tackled that problem yet rather than this being a willful exclusion. And while the EU lawmakers thought it was okay to put the Googles of the world in a position where they get to be judge, jury, and executioner for the right to be forgotten, I have a feeling that GDPR and the general vibe within the EU will not allow this to only work with the help of one American corporation on the continent’s most used OS. We need to be watchful but not despairing just yet.
