We live in a cancerous economy, one that regularly rewards those that can abstract as much value from labor with as little participation or value of the actual work product as possible. The rot will continue until the markets realize that a company cannot grow forever, and we societally reevaluate how we value a business.

it’s important to realize that **ChatGPT and LaMDA aren’t trained to be correct**. You can train models that are optimized to be correct—but that’s a different kind of model. Models like that are being built now; they tend to be smaller and trained on specialized data sets (O’Reilly Media has a search engine that has been trained on the 70,000+ items in our learning platform). And you could integrate those models with GPT-style language models, so that one group of models supplies the *facts* and the other supplies the *language*.
