Actually, I wonder how light would interact with something that is infinitesimal in width, but does have a significant amount of depth. Have any experiments of this kind been done with graphene or something?

The biggest issue with the three-pedalled bicycle is that humans have, at most, two legs.

I would argue that’s actually the last situation you’d want to use an LLM. With numbers like that, nobody’s going to review each and every letter with the attention things generated by an untrustworthy agent ought to get. This sounds to me like it calls for a template. Actually, it would be pretty disturbing to hear that letters like that aren’t being generated using a template and based on changes in the system.

Here’s a thought: instead of fighting this, make it a requirement to publish the prompts before making a speech. Speeches by politicians being low in information density is nothing new, and the usage of LLMs will undoubtedly make that worse, but it also means that they had to have written a terse description of the information they want to convey. If that were public, people could just read that and not waste time listening to speeches.

It would be ironic if the first use-case for LLMs that creates positive value for society involves ignoring its output, though.
