what if AI gets economically necessary, like GPS, but then we find out we don't have any uncontaminated training data to build new ones?

Well, that’s one dystopian way to view it. On the other hand, strategic fact reserve literally solves this.

Well, I think self-verifying data structures address most of these concerns without requiring trust in a central authority.

“Fact” is defined as “uncorrupted source of information” in the blog post, rather than “objective truth about reality.”

So this is more like a block list or allow list for certain public keys during ingestion of training data so you can confidently bias the model towards your perspective.

It’s a “who polices the police” issue all the way down unfortunately
