No. I think LLMs are garbage. Separately, and unrelated: I think Facebook is behind these bills. The LLM may be garbage and still sometimes produce a correct result.
- AlecSchueler 6mo agoOk, but then we should look for an actual source beyond "Don't worry that it's garbage, it smells ok in this case."
- Random_BSD_Geek 6mo agoYou are arguing with something I did not say. Yes, it would be nice to know with certainty who is behind these bills. It sucks how much opaque money influences American politics. Josh Gottheimer's press release[1] on HR8250 mentions the "Meta Parents Network." I don't know what that is, but it does have "Meta" in the name. Buffy Wick's noise about AB1043 claimed it was passed with the support of tech companies. I have spoken directly to one person close to AB1043 who told me Facebook argued against AB1043. I have doubts. But if true, I suspect they were not arguing in good faith and had ulterior motives. In the end, no matter who is secretly lobbying for or against age verification bills all over the planet, the bills are terrible, and we should fight them.
