the actual realistic answer is rigorous NISPOM and DFARS clause 252.226-7003 enforcement the non-national security stuff is a political problem of dealing with a notional trillionaire generally, but the DoD stuff is pretty straightforward

The idea of a "tech industry" has always relied on "computer" being a special kind of medium, akin to alchemy. And if tech demands to be king, AI hype has now elevated LLMs to a king of kings. But the solipsism has hit a dead end. The only way forward is to recognize that computers are not special.

LLMs are just normal technology. But tech is just a normal medium.

The more we focus on a particular technology, the more we lose sight of what normal people actually care about.

It’s definitely pretty bleak to have Elon out there promoting his own insane version of reality. But I suppose it’s also somewhat derivative, like the core problem here is people viewing LLMs as “truth oracles” which they are not, because that’s not a thing and it will never be a thing. 1/

Really, truly amazing that OpenAI wants us to believe that they are worth a trillion dollars but also they are so desperate for revenue that they created an infinite SlopTok app that opens them up to a billion lawsuits just so that they can maybe someday make it even worse by filling it with ads.

In experimental physics and that's the killer for me, yeah. It is the natural tendency of machines to lie and break. AI products will lie to you in ways you can't detect without prior knowledge of the correct output, and they'll do it at random - a test pass doesn't indicate future accuracy.
