I understand a lot of people use reasoning like “I don’t trust big tech companies, how do I know that their models work the way they say they do” the answer to this is that, while the absolute current version of the big commercial chatbots is generally closed source, you can download recent models

attention-based transformer models were not developed with the goal of "we want to make an AI therapist" or "we want to make an AI girlfriend" or "we want to figure out how to supplant white-collar professionals" all of those things are attempts to find a market application for an algorithm

The commonly cited AI water usage statistics are based on a methodology where, if your data center buys green energy from a hydroelectric dam (as lots do, including the hyperscalers), then “natural evaporation of the water from the lake behind the dam” is counted as that data center’s water use.

To elaborate: The root cause of > 99% the cases of "ChatGPT madness" are that ChatGPT was extremely willing to entertain delusions and exacerbate existing issues. Just not being that way would have prevented those. (By the way, OpenAI has already deployed such adjustments.)

Comments are skeptical this is possible. But it's already happening: many orgs are trying to undermine other players' market position by releasing something open-weight. Some are fully open. There are also ways to *shape* the way the tech develops without training a 70B model from scratch.

a) companies should not produce sycophantic AI slaves that validate your every eccentricity and maladaption. b) people demand sycophantic AI slaves that validate their every eccentricity and maldaption. b) regulating LLM personality or wokeness is a minefield that will usually end in censorship.
