“Condorcet's elitist inclinations are evident in his theory that to prevent wasting time and effort, it was necessary to unite scientists under a common direction. This plan seems to make the scientists a very powerful authority fee of all controls. Frank Manuel states that Condorcet's plan was particularly evident in the 1804 edition of the Esquisse. Appended to this edition were extra sections on the scientific organization of society as well as Condorcet's commentary on Francis Bacon's New Atlantis, which concentrated on the need for scientific authority. Manuel asserts that Comte was deeply influenced by this edition. But Comte's library contains the 1797 edition, which was more concerned with the freedom of the individual than with scientific power.”

“Confabulation, or hallucination, is ubiquitous in AI/GPT output already. Efforts to correct this by self-learning algos and back propagation are unlikely to solve the problem because they add to the complexity of the system as a whole, which increases the likelihood of emergent ghosts. The difficulty is that duplicity is hard to detect unless you're a subject matter expert in the topic or you conduct your own research to test its accuracy. This begs the question — if you have to be a subject matter expert to spot the flaws in AI/GPT output, what good is the system in the first place?”
