    “us, the trainers” is a bit of a misnomer, if the training is done mostly by silicon valley cultists like Sam Altman and his ilk, who have shown that they do not understand reality.

      Grammatical ambiguity!

      I meant it as an actual list:

      • us: we generated the content of the internet, the books, etc. I do mean all of us, as the creators of the cultural landscape from which training data was drawn.
      • the trainers: these are the people who made choices to curate the training sets.
      • the shapers: these are the people like Altman who hire the trainers and shape what the AIs are for

      So there is a progression here: the shapers hire the trainers who choose what to train on from the content that we created.

        Oh, sorry! I thought this was like “Mike Tyson, the boxer,…” - an embedded sentence expaining something in more detail! The actual meaning you meant to convey is much more fitting :)
