Noch schlechter schneiden chinesische Unternehmen ab. Den Umstieg vollziehen bislang jedoch nur wenige»

I have been a huge LLM sceptic, but after testing @MistralAI 's #LeChat this week (they get bonus points for sustainability, privacy and are EU based and regulated and not #UStech either), I'm starting to be seriously impressed - they have moved on a lot.
I can see why these tools are taking off for daily life.
@jburnmurdoch has an interesting piece on LLMs in general in the FT today too:

Social media is populist and polarising; AI may be the opposite - https://giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/actions/redeem/b18870c7-de35-4325-9a9b-5c038ee3ceba

Social media is populist and polarising; AI may be the opposite

Large language models elevate expert consensus and moderate views, in sharp contrast to social platforms

Men politikerne og institutionerne kunne jo starte med at forlade X, Facebook, TikTok og andre bigtech moguls.
