“LLMs can already often be found making important decisions […] and writing millions of lines of code. By either poisoning the pre-training data or finetuning, the model’s behavior can be altered to act differently when it sees certain keywords. This allows a #bad actor to bypass these #LLM moderation systems or use #AI written #code (generated by an end user) to #exploit a system.”

I agree. Anyway you spin it, 70% with disabling #symptoms for more than a year should be disturbing. 30% beyond two years is a #tragedy!

This reminds me of attitudes about #Lead #Poisoning from public #water systems in the #USA. A pernicious drain or human potential and a #PublicHealth #Crisis! #WTF?! 😲

Repeating the article URL to keep the context...

“Between 2010 and 2019 alone, Brazil’s Ministry of Health recorded pesticide poisonings of 56,870 people in the country. It is estimated that the cost to the Brazilian public health system [popularly known as SUS] for each case of poisoning is BRL150 [around US$24] per person. On the other hand, for every dollar spent on the purchase of agrochemicals, SUS is burdened by US$ 1,28 depending on the type of intoxication treatment,”

Also made this cool chart showing how #CEO pay increases as quality decreases along with #worker #pay and #benefits

It's made with some fudged numbers, to get the idea across, but average CEO pay and Worker pay was taken from real data sets linked from the Economic Policy Institute.

It's crazy to see how much #wealth is being #extracted from the #impoverished and #middleclass by companies that are literally #poisoning our children.

Remember, part of the listeria chicken went to schools.
