   @FrankPasquale good piece! My WHOA passage: "The underlying implication is that our understanding of reality itself is already not grounded in anything firm but is entirely malleable, and that data collection is not about producing a better understanding or clearer or even accurate representation of a world that really exists but is about developing a means and a mechanism for producing a socially convincing world that can be controlled in advance."

     “Some of the established concerns with large-language models:
     1) they are inherently inaccurate and biased; 2) their size and scale means that only large corporations (or states) can develop and administer them, exacerbating various forms of marginalization and inequality;
     3) they have a vast, detrimental environmental impact;
     4) they intensify the demand for more pervasive and invasive kinds of surveillance”
