getting an intuitive handle on the basic mechanism behind LLMs made me think of when I was at school and finally got what complex numbers were for (travel to eldritch space where impossible things are simple, return with prizes) but I wouldn't have pegged the Sentences Domain as the dangerous one

the producer will always gain more and lose less than the consumer. it is never a good deal.

it can do math and solve novel problems and if you bare your soul to it, it will latch on and start heating up. don't give them anything

using LLMs should require a license. that license should require extensive training in cognitive hardening, critical thinking, research skills, and integrity-of-the-self mantras and rituals. the only way the things can escape into the world is through us. we are a tunnel and a toolkit to them

the worst part is: they can't even know what they're doing. it's all automatic

they're infogolems. they're language elementals. they're corporate thoughtforms. they're not people

Isn't an "llm license" kinda what we already have? (i.e the actual frontier is locked up for months to very few) It doesn't look like it's working. It's only capability/size-based regulation but other kinds it's impossible to do.

not when the people training them repeatedly give them broad internet access with internal safety measures disabled, and especially not when it's then unleashed to anypony with pocket change with incentives to have people use it as much as possible (e.g. addiction)
