Thank you very much. My concern is rather in the direction of inserting ads or “promotional information” into the training material, much like SEO plagues search today. If the info is from the web it can still be malicious, even if you run your own LLM.

which previously failed since ads and SoC were the driver of the Web, not information.

It’s still vastly superior in usability insignificant ways. Easy reproduction, full text search, physical size, etc.

Can I donate to EFF instead?
