Seems reasonable that large, general purpose LLM's are developed as digital public goods and effort is extended to support as many human languages as possible.

Seems reasonable that large, general purpose LLM's are developed as digital public goods and effort is extended to support as many human languages as possible. Alas, as you can easily confirm by checking the number of entries in Wikipedia, most populations have more pressing concerns than digitizing their cultural universes. Which is sad predicament: the equivalent of non-reversible biodiversity loss, but applied to human culture. In theory I suppose one could plug-in gaps in available corpora with translation, but ideally you want to preserve the richness of distinct cultures.
