I worry this fate will become more common. Everyone can hit up an artificial sycophant at will who they've been told is super intelligent and yet claims their ideas are full of deep insight.

Thanks for your work.

People from outside the UK often use British as synonymous with English, and in the context of accents, often a South East English accent or some sort of Received Pronunciation (RP) accent. Technically a "British" accent could be from anywhere in England, Scotland, or Wales, and therefore by extension might not even be the English language.

While I'm here, since it's generally confusing, the UK is Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Great Britain is England, Scotland, and Wales.

Perhaps someone better informed than I could comment.

Boosters tend to lay all different experiences at the feet of this last, yet I'd argue the others are equally significant.

On the other hand, if you want to get the best results you can given the first 3 (which are generally out of one's control) then don't presume there's nothing you can do to improve the 4th.

Initially there is perhaps a mitigating advantage of briefly impressing ourselves or others with output, but that will quickly fade into the new normal.

Net result: employee paying significant money to produce more, but capturing none of that value.

On the off chance other Americans were unaware of this: Other countries are democracies too (and many are better functioning)

I almost wonder if we need some sort of co-op for training and another for hosted inference

While I'm generally sympathetic to the idea that humans and LLM creativity is broadly similar (combining ideas absorbed elsewhere in new ways), when we ask for something that already exists it's basically just laundering open source code
