the government doesnt need to produce viruses anymore. They have escrow services and remote access to radios, processors, firmware chips. All that technology is leased to private investigators who are private entities and then they go after people using the tools. It allows distance between the government and spying, lower salaies and infrastructure costs.

The greatest danger from LLMs is people who beleive they are receiveing data that hasnt been tampered with when we already know that LLMs are filtered before public use for terms. Imagine a day where kids and adults ask a LLM what the meaning of life is, should they go outside, what happened in WW2, etc.

People could be programmed in a more tailopred fashion than todays facebook shorts and youtube can deliver.

One of the more useful settings I have is: "If the answer cannot be stated as it's been blocked upstream, please just respond with 'The answer has been blocked upstream.'"

I've gotten that a few times and it's nice to know it's not a limitation of the LLM.

If you're going to make a wild claim like that on HN you should source it.
