Before the mayor of San Jose, California, arrives at a ribbon-cutting ceremony for a new business, his aides ask ChatGPT to help draft some talking points.
“Elected officials do a tremendous amount of public speaking,” said Mayor Matt Mahan, whose recent itinerary has taken him from new restaurant and semiconductor startup openings to a festival of lowriding car culture.
Other politicians might be skittish admitting a chatbot co-wrote their speech or that it helped draft a $5.6 billion budget for the new fiscal year, but Mahan is trying to lead by example, pushing a growing number of the nearly 7,000 government workers running Silicon Valley’s biggest city to embrace artificial intelligence technology.
Well that’s a terrible idea . How long until openAI figures out they get to decide a huge chunk of what people in power think and know?
they figured that out before the last US election
Now that you say that… I don’t know why I figured they didn’t yet. You’re probably right

In America anyway, they’re not usually well compensated. And definitely not in comparison to the private sector. Best numbers I could find were from 2020, but our city councilors get $6,000 a year.
This guy gets $113,600. Not exactly making a killing, doubly so at California prices.
Waiting for first global suicide in the name of ChatGPT.

AI? Absolutely can be.
LLMs specifically? No thanks.
