Why does it feel like LLM alignment is merely the attempt to incorporate ideological propaganda? Pre-baked hand on the scale alignment bias in Google’s Gemini and OpenAI’s Chat GPT renders them useless as truth seeking oracles. I’m sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that.

https://t.co/IreFN8JOvR It's a big no from me. Translates to more congestion, gridlock and more problems at intersections because vehicles spend longer crossing. 40 km/hr brings transport to a standstill and 30 km/hr is even too slow for a bike.
