Replacing my best friends with an LLM trained on 500k group chat messages
While I love all these stories of turning your friends and loved ones into chat bots so you can talk to them forever, my brain immediately took a much darker turn because of course it did.<p>How many emails, text messages, hangouts&#x2F;gchat messages, etc, does Google have of you right now? And as part of their agreement, they can do pretty much whatever they like with those, can&#x27;t they?<p>Could Google, or any other company out there, build a digital copy of <i>you</i> that answers questions exactly the way you would? &quot;Hey, we&#x27;re going to cancel the interview- we found that you aren&#x27;t a good culture fit here in 72% of our simulations and we don&#x27;t think that&#x27;s an acceptable risk.&quot;<p>Could the police subpoena all of that data and make an AI model of you that wants to help them prove you committed a crime and guess all your passwords?<p>This stuff is moving terrifyingly fast, and laws will take ages to catch up. Get ready for a <i>wild</i> couple of years my friends.
