Just to note this for the record: if I could: I would un-invent LLMs.
There's some amazing things possible with them (and to be clear I use them every day), but like many technologies they acts as an accelerator for good *and* bad things - and some of the latter are quite bad indeed.
But obviously we can't uninvent them and banning is not practical. So now it's about best practices, some of which should become regulations.

@cgwalters@fosstodon.org the technology is not the root cause of the problems. The root cause is greed the lack of its mitigation.

@cgwalters@fosstodon.org this is "Oppenheimer realises what he's done" moment and most folks are like "sounds like WMD is the next big thing, I should apply to Los Alamos"
