I for one think it would be amazing to see Kim Jong Un wandering around a data centre in Pyongyang made entirely from ironically stolen and donated US parts.

LLMs probably have applications for dictators. Instead of solely relying on their "keys of power" and a huge hierarchy filtering what the dictator knows and sees, LLMs could sift through and filter vast amounts of data to spot potential threats to his power. This plus security droids is probably the wet dream of the techbros.

It would be interesting to see how people adapt to the hallucinations of such a system. There is a certain inherent chaos involved in any dictatorship, due to its insistence on the whims of one person being above all other considerations. An LLM would involve different kinds of chaos.
