... then we should not look a gift computer god in the mouth, but the LLM's training data comes from a community, and the LLM's prompt comes from a community, and it will behoove us to maintain and preserve that community at least until LLMs bring us a cancer-free utopia, and likely after, too.

3. the big worry re science and math and various other epistemic communities and processes is that LLMs have the potential to erode these communities and processes until they no longer work. i see this quasi-kuhnian argument that if the science & math of LLMs JUST WORK...

regarding LLMs and the cure for cancer: 1. please, cure cancer 2. solve other hard problems! make housing cheap and ubiquitous. make us happy and help us find connection and presence. cure heart disease, &c., &c.

consider these problems: social media erodes social cohesion. social media spreads disinformation perniciously. social media makes people unhappy. a new decentralized social media won't solve these problems. decentralized social media feels like harm reduction, but the harm is vast and pervasive.
