    but I don’t think most are designed to control people’s opinions

    Yeah I’m on team chaos theory. People can plan and design shit all they want, but the complexity will lead to unexpected behavior, always. How harmful that unwanted behavior is, or how easy it is to control or contain, is often unknown in advance, but invented things tend to develop far, far outside the initial vision of the creators.

      Yeah. Strongly agreed for most of the behaviour. I think most amusingly in Grok where obvious efforts have been made to update the output beyond rails and accuracy checks

      But the guy here talking about how these will be used control the information diet of people, he’s probably right about how this turns out unless there’s changes to legislation (and I’m expecting any changes to be in the wrong direction) even if he’s possibly misinterpreting some LLM output now
