I imagine the folks over at NSA must be rubbing their hands over the possibilities this will open up for querying the data they have been diligently storing over the years.
What is your point? That obtaining absolute knowledge of truth is impossible, and therefore anything claiming to be true is worthless?
In general, be careful not to kill "good" on the way to attempting to obtain "perfect" in vain. And GPT4's hallucination rate is quite low at this point (may of course depend on the topic).
Not at all. I'm coming from the opposite side saying that anything can be "verified" true if you just continue to repeat it as truth so that people accept it. Say often, say it loud. Facts be damned
This has always happened and will continue always happening. Best not get caught up on it, just put people right when you feel you have the facts to back it up.
NSA does not have large-scale storage. If they did, it would be in a building somewhere, it would have electric power and they would have bought storage devices for it from some company. The largest-known actual NSA datacenter is the size of a runty leftover from having built a real cloud datacenter, and there's only one of those while FAMG have hundreds of far larger datacenters.
If you think this is a large datacenter, you are mistaken. You could fit this inside any cloud datacenter, and there are hundreds of those. The NSA thing draws 65MW. Google alone has over 7000MW of first-party energy generation resources, that doesn't begin to account for what they draw from the grid, and they're not even the biggest datacenter owner.
A building somewhere. Like inside a military base for example. Good luck finding out what’s inside it and having anyone who worked on a restricted contract telling you about it.
Given the history of NSA, warrantless surveillance and the overt existence of the Utah data center + collaboration with telcos and big tech, and the promise of AI analysis and quantum computing...
I find it difficult to accept your underlying premise that NSA doesn't have access to a massive amount of data which AI may be able to analyze for them.
