It’s easy to imagine a very dark future where the government, because of AI, is super efficient and we all live in a new, unexpected hell. If the government knew everything about our history with it perfectly — even better than we did — the vise grip the government might have on us could be absolute.
And, yet, here we are, careening towards using AI — specifically LLMs — in every possible way. LLMs are going to disrupt EVERYTHING over the course of the next 10 odd years. Everything. Completely everything. And the sooner you figure that out, the better.
LLMs will be bigger than the Internet and the speed of disruption will be counted in months, not years or decades. Just imagine if not just the government, but the medical system was hyper efficient. On paper, that seems great, but in practice would that suck, suck, suck.
I’m too lazy to explain why, but if the government — or your insurance company — knows not just absolutely everything about you, but can act on that knowledge. Holy shit.
