I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Does anyone else feel the analogy between chatting with an LLM service and looking into a palantir? Like there's the seductive possibility of learning more, but with potential downside of getting sucked in. Also that sentiment of not being sure what's happening with that chat data on the other side.

I highly recommend everyone to live outside their home culture for at least 2 years in their life. Especially if you are North American.

The most dangerous thing about conversational AI isn't the 'hallucinations.' It's the sycophancy. The relentless, flattering agreeableness isn't a bug, it's a feature.
