I thought this article was interesting, particularly the section towards the end that discusses how the LLM reacts to things like prompt injections and hallucination traps. I think if our country and world is going to rely on LLMs so much, then one that always returns citations and is capable of admitting that it may not have enough evidence is something that we desperately need.

The provided use case describes having different modes. The ability to create these different modes, I imagine, would mean a larger-than-usual investment of our time and resources, so I wonder if we’d be able to get this operational quickly enough for the NYC Mamdani Transition team to use. Regardless, we might consider selling personalized access to this LLM, as the ability to switch modes could cater to individual businesses’ and clients’ needs. What do you all think?

One of the first few monetization strategies mentioned is hosting servers for popular games. I think the games Minecraft and Terraria would be good examples to start with, as both games have a certain community-driven longevity. In other words, they will have dedicated fanbases that we could cater towards for years to come.

The first slide after the introduction has the header “Mamdani Transition” and shows a graphic displaying monopolies’ negative impact on communities. I worry this could be misleading, as it may accidentally imply that the goal of the Mamdani Transition is for these communities to continue to be harmed by these monopolies when it is, in fact, the opposite.

I’m interested in Green Jobs and Climate Resilience. As a 21-year-old, I’d like to ensure that the planet is still in decent shape by the time I’m an old man. Since New York City is one of the most populated cities on the planet, I feel we would have the tools and the influence needed to protect the climate.
