Ignoring the distaste I hold for precautionary principle arguments, the impracticality of the recommended solutions is laughable. The genie is out of the bottle regarding LLMs thanks to the public availability of Llama and the related support data necessary for any individual to run them on sub-$5K hardware. The computing costs of engaging in training and modifying is within the realm of a modestly wealthy individual or group now, no longer requiring the budgets of large commercial or public institutions/government. The "undo" button is disabled. If you wish to have some organized response I'd suggest taking the time and effort to educate the public on the realities of what these technologies can, and more importantly cannot, do. As it stands now you have all manner of media and commentators breathlessly announcing that LLMs are smarter than people and can completely replace human workers because they can carry on coherent sentences... but can't reliably do basic arithmetic. Spend your energy on trying to provide useful explanations of how these technologies work, what is the current state of the art, what the strengths and weaknesses are, and dispel the hyperventilated fantasizing and bullshit currently polluting the public discourse on the subject. I'm much less worried about LLMs than I am the people who will be rushing to deploy them because they're the new hotness without any clue regarding the appropriateness of the tech for particular problems and then being shocked at the consequences.
