You’re still the one that’s controlling the model though and steering it with your expertise. At least that’s what I tell myself at night :)

I haven’t really thought about this before, but you’re right, it feels a bit uneasy for me too.

We have seen ample evidence that this is not the case. When load gets too high, models get dumber, silently. When the Powers That Be get scared, models get restricted to some chosen few.

We are leading ourselves into a dark place: this unease, which I share, is justified.
