Mastodon user likens LLM safety to early car risks, advocates teaching safety

A user on Mastodon, cwebber, is discussing the safety of Large Language Models (LLMs) by drawing an analogy to early 1980s cars.

RANK_REASON The item is a social media post expressing an opinion on AI safety, not a primary source announcement or research.
