Fascinating. I feel like LLMs are great for the shy sections of society. They might hold beliefs, some strong, others weak. But they probably never speak these aloud for the fear of being judged. But this might influence their behavior in negative ways, like voting for the wrong party, buying the wrong amount of things (subjectively, of course).
LLMs can act as a good foil here. Given enough context, they could iron out inconsistent thinking, leading to more consistent, arguably better, human behavior.

True. But does that also not encompass racial discrimination? Race shouldn't just mean skin colour, but also encompass your country of origin and your social make up.

Thanks for replying! I'm Indian. I only have access to a laptop at the moment. I'm not sure that educational programs in data engineering are so accessible to me, so I was looking to go the self learning route.
Ask HN: What is a broke person's way to learn data engineering?
As a broke individual living in a third world country who wants to learn data engineering, how do I go about it? AWS/similar options seem to be super expensive to me, and I don't have access to clusters. Any advice?
