Not a big deal, because they tend to be trusted eventually by the search engines and the language models, though I don't trust much the latter to tbh.

US is the same country that allows a practical monopoly of NVIDIA on GPUs and Intel on CPU (or at least an oligopoly), and then pretend "foreigners are out to get us". It gets one to know one.

It will happen, as long as people don't get language models are a glorified google search. They predict what they should say based on what they read.

If what the read is nonsense then they will predict nonsense.

They are basically glorified parrots.

Give an example of software that exists for decades and never had an exploit. You might say basic OS tools. The OS might not be secure then; giving internet terminals to everyone in the world is just a stupid oversight; the best is probably a combination of both having internet when needed but most access to it to be through an extremely thick layer of firewalls (e.g. only system administrators updating stuff should be exposed to the internet for software involving airport security).

> a welcome change

Can someone explain why it's good that your official law infrastructure has no access to Google when in need?

Is this some kind of bizzaro-extermist-libertarianism "government is evil" from America again?
