Who decides what behaviors we should be nudged toward? Is it us, or someone else?

To me, one of the greatest dangers of the present moment is that we can't tell whether the LLMs are being asked to give subtly biased answers (or product-placement) on some questions. One cannot readily tell from the output.

And I agree with you, but an even bigger problem then is "how do you even make a verifiably trustable LLM?"

The training compute footprints are enormous, several orders magnitude beyond what the average person has access to. Even if a company came out and said "here's our completely open-source model. All the training data, the training procedure, and here's the final-product model."

Maybe you could hire an auditing company? But how long would it take to audit? Would the state of the art advance drastically in the time between?

And people like to keep downvoting my "Make Classwarfare MAD Again" but like I'll wager 90% of people on HN are on the losing side of the war.
