That was always my assumption of the end game. You have the system prompts, an advertising bias prompt layer over top, then the user prompts.
"Naturally worded" advertising that doesn't immediately appear to be advertising and searching using natural language always seemed to be the biggest use cases for LLMs to me, considering they can't be relied on to output accurate info.
Exactly. Like big pharma paying ChatGPT to convince you that your symptoms are an illness they have pills for. It'd turn the LLMs from librarians into salesmen playing librarians lol.
That's... exactly how they implement advertising in an LLM?
If it won't be illegal, and under the current US regime it sure as hell won't be illegal, it will come, it is just a matter of time. It will be interesting though if they'll still do it even where it likely will be illegal, like in the EU.
I can see it leading to the rise of locally run LLMs. The pr9blem with intentional hidden bias is that you have no way of verifying it isn't there unless you control everything. That would also make it hard for regulators.
Fuck polymarket though, the metastasis of late stage capitalism.
It's a form of psychosis.
they think it predicts the future, and so must be completely unregulated.
They created an Oracle made of gold.
I'm gonna bet everything I own that Viking_Hippie plays a video game within the next 24 hours. Any takers?
Do you want to get kidnapped and handcuffed to a radiator for 24 hours? Because that's how you get kidnapped and handcuffed to a radiator for 24 hours.
what's the market on viking_hippie getting kidnapped and getting handcuffed to a radiator for 24 hours because let me know when that one starts to go up
Tbf, a student including relevant info they leaned from world of tanks wouldn't be a bad thing.
Then there's the student who plays wanthunder and leaks a classified F-47 detailed blueprint onto the paper.
that deserves extra credit
As someone doing teaching, I already had quite enough of "If you have any further questions - just let me now! 😊" in answer boxes.
Easy F for AI and move on to the next one
Have they rolled out the ads yet ? I feel like they keep teasing it but I might have missed the roll out and the backlash (there is no way there would not be SOME backlash)
is polymarket reporting news here or are they reporting the results of a ~~bet~~ event contract?
they stealing from youtubers again.
