> Where does the LLM get their opinions on “foreign affairs” from?
Yeah that's a big problem with LLMs at the moment - people are having an argument online, and one of them posts a piece of text from an LLM and says "see, Grok/ChatGPT/Claude/Gemini agrees! You're wrong!", which only reveals how much they did not do their homework and that they're arguing on the basis of hear-say, just like the LLM; the LLM has no mind of its own. If 90% of the internet says A, it will defend A to the death. What's not part of the equation is how much of that 90% has the same source, financed by a certain group.

We have a LOT of work to do soon.
