LLM output is one of the few places I’d be OK with seeing ads. I’d almost go so far as advocating for it to be mandated, because it would help make slop easier to identify and filter out.
Why is Polymaket breaking news?
Just wait till they let advertisers buy hidden bias in its responses
That was always my assumption of the end game. You have the system prompts, an advertising bias prompt layer over top, then the user prompts.
“Naturally worded” advertising that doesn’t immediately appear to be advertising and searching using natural language always seemed to be the biggest use cases for LLMs to me, considering they can’t be relied on to output accurate info.
Yes, I’ve been saying this for over a year now about AI-driven search. And not just specifically search engines. Like “where’s the nearest coffee shop?” To your phones assistant or whatever
I currently tend toward perplexity because traditional search engines are so terrible now thanks to ads and seo. We’re speedrunning llms being just as useless at finding things
Exactly. Like big pharma paying ChatGPT to convince you that your symptoms are an illness they have pills for. It’d turn the LLMs from librarians into salesmen playing librarians lol.
If it won’t be illegal, and under the current US regime it sure as hell won’t be illegal, it will come, it is just a matter of time. It will be interesting though if they’ll still do it even where it likely will be illegal, like in the EU.
I can see it leading to the rise of locally run LLMs. The pr9blem with intentional hidden bias is that you have no way of verifying it isn’t there unless you control everything. That would also make it hard for regulators.
If experience thought me, no people will not give a damn.
Imo there will be certain businesses which will
That’s… exactly how they implement advertising in an LLM?

Fuck polymarket though, the metastasis of late stage capitalism.
It’s a form of psychosis.
they think it predicts the future, and so must be completely unregulated.
They created an Oracle made of gold.
i haven’t seen those guys much but based on the little i’ve seen, i think they believe whatever makes the most amount of money
I’m gonna bet everything I own that Viking_Hippie plays a video game within the next 24 hours. Any takers?
Do you want to get kidnapped and handcuffed to a radiator for 24 hours? Because that’s how you get kidnapped and handcuffed to a radiator for 24 hours.
what’s the market on viking_hippie getting kidnapped and getting handcuffed to a radiator for 24 hours because let me know when that one starts to go up
My brain runs DOOM, or so I’m told.
As someone doing teaching, I already had quite enough of “If you have any further questions - just let me now! 😊” in answer boxes.
When it was new, I got a lot of “Certainly! …”
Like, cone on, mate. You didn’t even read the first sentence before submitting.
Sounds like a challenge
Remember the time every answer started with “As a large language model…”
Easy F for AI and move on to the next one
Have they rolled out the ads yet ? I feel like they keep teasing it but I might have missed the roll out and the backlash (there is no way there would not be SOME backlash)
is polymarket reporting news here or are they reporting the results of a
betevent contract?Tbf, a student including relevant info they leaned from world of tanks wouldn’t be a bad thing.
Then there’s the student who plays wanthunder and leaks a classified F-47 detailed blueprint onto the paper.
that deserves extra credit
they stealing from youtubers again.
