alt Hacker NewsOne of the approaches to this that I haven't seen being talked about on HN at all is LLM as public infrastructure by the government. I think EU can pull this off. This also addresses overall alignment and compute-poverty issue. I wouldn't mind if my taxes paid for that instead of a ChatGPT subscription.

this assumes that "the government" is "us" and not "them"...
This is not a good idea at all.
Government should not be in a position to directly and pervasively shape people’s understanding of the world.
That would be the infinite regress opposite of a free (in a completely different sense) press.
A non-profit providing an open data and training regime for an open WikiBrain would be nice. With standard pricing for scaled up use.
