Personally I feel it's fine for them to operate at a loss, it's a public service, akin to the fire department or library. The amount of good it does society to get cars off the road is staggering. The lack of bus drivers simply co

Maybe, but it sounds hard if there are multiple LLMs out there that people might use to analyze such text. Tricking multiple LLMs with a certain poisonous combination of words and phrases sounds a lot like having a file that hashes to the s

Maybe, but on the other hand, I imagine the stock price of the first company that can go public with having AGI would go up by a lot. It would be an expensive secret to maintain.

I agree, it gives the same vibe as wanting to somehow bring back the simplicity of excel formulas rather than having to write normal code, to revive that dream of convenient one-liners. But there is a reason excel has a ceiling of maintaina

Humans are notoriously bad at probability as well, and since LLMs are trained data from humans, it kinda makes sense.
