    TL;DR: Treating your LLM like an iPad baby makes it unrecoverably stupid.

    So basically AI is like the yeast of the internet. They gobble up all the sweet stuff, and excrete a substance that, in high enough concentrations, will kill them. And if you drink the substance, you might get addicted.

    Maybe I should have gone with a bread metaphor, but I think we might be cooked either way.

          1. most of it is not “zoomer slang”, it’s misused AAVE
          2. it’s still not brainrot. slang words have meaning, you can’t just use them at random. come on

        I have no idea what AAVE is, I’ve only ever come across those words being used as parodies of modern internet slang.

          African American Vernacular English.

          In the US, at least, slang tends to trickle upwards, from People of Color, and/or queer communities, to young people, to your white suburban dad’s Facebook page where culture goes to die

    It’s hilarious that Musk/Zuck think their platforms are data mines of any value. They’ve poisoned their trillion dollar wells.

    Google’s in the process of this too, on a larger scale.


    AFAIK most research is leaning into synthetic data generation + runtime RAG anyway. This has tons of problems too, especially when reaching out to the web (for reference) is so screwed up, but it’s a less bad approach.

    This shit is actually hilarious to me, in a ‘I’ve learned the horrific secrets of the universe from an eldritch being and have fully realized the fragility of my kind’ kind of way.
