    The bottleneck with creating something like chatGPT is data collection for training. chatGPT cost half a billion dollars to make.

    I would assume you don't get much more data for $1 billion than $0.5 billion and you get diminishing returns so I doubt we will see many improvements on generative large language models until they find new better sources of training data which is more an organisational than a technical problem

    AI for criminal profiling would be a nightmare especially if you just gave it details of convicted criminals as that would basically produce an institutional racism machine

    sorry lots of diverse elements to respond to here

        Only someone completely boneheaded and ignorant of the nature of statistics would conclude that because data shows black people are imprisoned more black people are more criminal. So I am not surprised many tech people think that

        racism in AI is a real issue that not enough is done to combat
