I’d like to reiterate what I said a while back: integrating LLM-based tools into all corporate and personal workflows is outright dangerous. Even when run locally, most LLMs in use are trained and tuned by corporations that are now deeply in bed with a lawless authoritarian takeover of the US
People who are removing all references to minorities, women, and equality from your public spheres will not hesitate to ask corporations to tune centrally-controlled LLMs to censor the same from your work

Really? Did you notice this? github.com/orgs/community/disc…
The point of cognitive automation is NOT to enhance thinking. The point of it is to avoid thinking in the first place. That’s the job it does. You won’t notice when the censorship kicks in

in reply to -Fred- • • •@-Fred- Regardless which year it is from, it's an example of bias that most people probably didn't notice, and a direct answer to "I’d notice if the LLM started censoring".

in reply to Baldur Bjarnason • • •So you oppose using LLMs because of their nature or because of their creators?
If you had a model that was created in a transparent way which you could reproduce and modify, would you have the same issue? Other issues?

in reply to Tzafrir • • •@tzafrir "most" models are open - there are only a handful of models developed exclusively for and by the use of corporations - much of this is still open and even the above linked GitHub thread mentions running an open and local model as an alternative
but that was never the point, resolving the issue doesn't matter somehow
