So @cbo.bsky.social and I have a new piece out in SciAm. We look at the drive by OpenAI, Apple, etc to create personally-aligned LLMs as intermediaries between users and primary text on the internet, and consider the possible consequences on society as any shared understanding of the world erodes.

Alt: a black and white photo of a knight in armor standing in a field with the words `` praise the sun '' . The knight brings his legs to the middle, straightens his torso, throws his head back, and raises his hands in a V shape, while the sun is seen shining through the clouds in the background. A reference to the video game "Dark Souls".
