"They" do. The Great Recession debt bubble was immediately proceeded by luminaries such a Barney Frank self-assuredly denying any problems, and characterizing the pesky noticers as misguided.

The AI bubble is end stage. LLMs are essentially next level search engines and, while powerful, their power is finite, especially since the training material is already exhausted. Further, there is little value in redundant implementations: there is no need for a dozen plus distinct tier 1 LLMs all exhibiting approximately the same performance.

So a shakeout is imminent. We will not be carpeting the country with nuclear reactors because Sam Altman. That's actually a shame: if a bunch of reactors were built for the wrong reason, at least we'd have the reactors when it's all over.

If it is a larger number, then this is still a fail and unusable.

Do you have any rational basis for this claim? If there were 101 reports, and 51 were bogus, the discovery only 50 legitimate flaws in a widely used and mature code base is somehow an unworkable process?

I believe we're witnessing the emergence AIDS. AI derangement syndrome.

So nothing is changing here? Why the Parade of Horribles then?

Perhaps the two walls of text you've written (so far) belies your genuine thoughts on this: a crack has formed in the uniform feed of establishment group-think narrative to the tee-vee watching masses. The wine women limousine liberal voice may have lost a platform. How terrible!

The good news for you is that network tee-vee doesn't mean much any longer. The bad news is you're not doing great on the new platform(s) either.

police officers working from home? and not on the beat?

Of course. And why not? Priority number one is detecting all those interweb wrongthinkers. For that all you need is a laptop: you can "protect" establishment narratives from anywhere in the world.

I expect egovernment stuff will make this easier

No, it won't. The numbers ultimately published are massaged by agencies run by political appointees. Formulae are tailored to fit narratives and ultimately what we get is propaganda.

Your scheme, for instance: Who will be participating, and who will be eligible for a reward? These calls will be made by political forces.

The 72% non-work

That number is not credible. The prompts I write for "personal" purposes are literally indistinguishable from what a worker might make: for all ChatGPT knows I'm an auto mechanic. Location isn't a valid metric either, given WFH, mobile devices, etc. They can't possibly distinguish between work and personal to a one digit of precision. Obviously they can see whether prompts are coming from commercial accounts, paid personal accounts or free tier, but even that gets fuzzy at the low end.

evidence

That, right there.

Just as one minute example of many: did you notice or care that BLS disappeared ~1.7 million US jobs in less than 12 months? "Corrections."

You have no "evidence." What you have is your preferred propaganda. Failure to dutifully inculcate propaganda as "evidence" is the exact opposite of servile.
