When it comes to dealing with advertisements when they're surfing on their browsers. I've just learned recently about how Google has or is killing UBlock Origin on the Chrome browser as well as all Chromium based browsers too.

We've heard for years about people complaining, bitching, whining and vice versa about how they keep seeing ads. And those trying to help them, keep wasting time to tell these people that they're surfing without extensions. Whether it'd be on Chrome or Firefox or another browser.

By this point, I've long stopped being that helper because if you cared at all about the advertisements you see, you would've long had gotten on the wagon of getting adblockers by now. You bring this onto yourself.

What we see in AI as an average consumer is like the RC hotwheels to a state of the art tank being used by big corps.

Just imagine that if an early LLM can fool an engineer into thinking it's sentient, what a state of the art system can do, one designed to predict the market, run propaganda bots on social media or straight up manufacture news stories with the footage to back it up.

The AI being used by big corporations is so advanced, it's one of the reasons countries have been trying to digitally isolate themselves. It's really not an if, it's a when.

The "AI" being used by big corporations is still fundamentally an LLM and has all the flaws of an LLM. It's not a hot wheels car vs a tank, it's a hot wheels car vs a $2 billion RC car

I'd like to get into how both me and OP are talking about how fast AI, not just LLMs, is scaling, and the potential it has across a variety of industries - most concerning to me is it's use by investment firms. But I need to go to the barber because I already have enough split hairs.

It is my understanding that the fundamental architecture (the general purpose transformer) is identical between the "AI" used by Black Rock and by OpenAI

If you have some evidence to the contrary I'd always appreciate the chance to learn.

But the transformer based architecture is fundamentally flawed: it will always hallucinate.
