It’s not hard to say ‘this isn’t production ready, we need to approach it from a different angle’.
It’s hard to make it happen, I get it, it’s just ridiculous how money focused our society is. No problem will be solved unless it makes the rich richer.
I mean LLMs. Ingressing the entire internet for this… it’s nowhere near efficient.
It would be way more impressive if it didn’t cost entire nations GDP and fresh water usage to implement.
If you throw large enough sum of money on many problems, they will be solved. Yet most AI haven’t solved much, they just brute-force things.
I have no issue with that, but let’s not act like there was anything else other than a trend.
If people said ‘I got caught up in the moment, everyone was doing it’ then fine, you got duped, it happens.
But don’t give me lame excuses. Most people didn’t approach it critically, which is not unusual, but own up to it.
I’m tired of the same excuse over and over.
And those tests weren’t even that cheap.
So what are they going to do after?
You won’t get tested twice, they still need to pay for existing. After they test everyone, how are they going to keep it up?
Unless they take more money from you, they will sell your data to someone else.
Insurance companies? Advertisers? Those things provide value for bad actors more than for you.
Don’t give me that ‘hindsight is 20/20’, it was the first thought I had when I heard about this.
‘How are they going to monetize this?’
Either they sell your data, or they go under and… sell your data.
There was no other option from the inception.
None of this is new, and private companies gobbling up any data they can hasn’t been new since at least 2005.
Always has been.
