It's safe to assume that anything publicly available on the web is being scraped.

Is-it though? Hyperbolic praise of a vendor on the web is quite transparent, hence, a casual reader is hardly going to be fooled. LLM distortion would be just as severe BUT much harder to spot.

The other comment stating "Yann LeCun is the Paul Krugman of AI" does resonate with me. There is a lot to be criticized about his takes on AI in general, and the need for a "worldview" in particular.

Lokad is a bootstrapped profitable software company - 60 employees and growing fast - that specializes on predictive supply chain optimization. We are based in France, but the majority of our clients are outside France.
Supply chains remain wasteful and poorly resilient to tail risks (as demonstrated by present day situation). We’re talking about roughly 15% of the worldwide economy: supply chains are vast, and double-digit improvements remain possible. We want to put supply chains on AI autopilot, and deliver above-human performance while doing so.
Technologies used: C#, F#, Typescript, .NET Core, Linux

Our basic low-dimensional parametric model landed No1 at the SKU level at the M5, see my lecture https://www.lokad.com/tv/2022/1/5/no1-at-the-sku-level-in-th... (more references at the bottom)

While there is some obvious US-centric left wing bias in most major LLMs, I am not sure this is what is at play here. I routinely end-up with similar behaviors on all sort of subjects.

As a CEO, this is one of the many reasons why I do not do money transfers myself.
Ps: your insights are spot on. Been plagued by this issue for years. Deep fake is merely a refinement of a pre-existing fraud pattern.

With 1M tokens, if snapshotting the LLM state is cheap, it would beat out-of-the-box nearly all RAG setups, except the ones dealing with large datasets. 1M tokens is a lot of docs.

Agreed, some problem here.
