@davidgerard That report is so interesting, and also slightly terrifying in how little understanding the Department of SCIENCE, INNOVATION and TECHOLOGY seems to have of, well, science, innovation and technology.
Imagine not just expecting to find commercial implementations of blockchain in 2025, but being so astonished when you don't that you make it a key finding of the report.
@davidgerard The summary of the AI part should be:
1. LLMs are useful...for scams.
2. LLMs are, poor at anything where accuracy and not hallucinating is important.
3. Companies are investigating whether LLMs have business uses for them, but not finding many.
4. People are being sold a worrying amount of 'AI' software that doesn't work as advertised and might be actively risky.
5. What exactly are LLM companies doing with the data you send them? No one knows, and you shouldn't trust them.
