Yeah, model collapse is worrying, but I don’t see how they can do anything about it due to how LLMs work. There have been some articles written about this drawing an analogy to the grey goo problem in nanotechnology. The end result is that the free web becomes essentially useless and knowledge becomes balkanized and paywalled.
The answer is yes in all cases. Well, almost all. They don’t want books printed after 2022, because those might have AI-generated text in them. Anything else is fair game.
Are you skeptical that the books being destroyed are actually rare? Or are you skeptical of the existence of rare books?
“Rare” means “difficult to acquire”. Under your definition, the only books that would qualify would be ones in museums.
It’s better that everybody should suffer than to have one person cheat the system.
She doesn’t inspire a lot of confidence. She has a lot of good positions, but I haven’t heard her articulate them well. She said that Harris was “working tirelessly to secure a cease-fire in Gaza”, something which we know wasn’t true, and more recently brushed off Black Lives Matter, etc. as 'Woke 1 was craazzyyy ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ"
There’s a good article about her backpedaling here.
There has to be somebody better.
Yeah. “Autistic” does not and should not imply “ethically stunted”.
Greta Thunberg is autistic. The person who said “The IDF bombed our flotilla, so we have to try again,” and she said it in the most casual tone, like she was talking about running to the store for a loaf of bread.
Autism is a super-power, but like all super-powers, it all depends upon how you choose to use it.
which will fail, as it is so very hated
Even if everybody loved AI, there’s no way it could succeed. The more popular it becomes, the more money they lose.
I once left a pot of water boiling for so long that the water boiled away and the bottom of the pan started to melt. When I took it off the burner, parts of the pot dripped on the floor and burned the linoleum.
I usually make more food than I eat, so I have leftovers I need to reheat later. A microwave is great for that.
I’m only interested if I get AOC feet pics.
I had an art history class that had hand-written essays for every question on every exam. You brought your composition notebook to class and sat there writing two or three paragraphs for every question. There weren’t very many questions (6-8 IIRC), but still it was pretty grueling.
Are people actually saying shit like this? I weep for humanity.
Running right-wing candidates hasn’t been working, and these “far left” candidates have been very popular. Maybe they should try it for a change. (I don’t see stuff like universal healthcare as “far left”, but I’m aware the US political spectrum has been fucked by both parties.)
What I don’t like is continuing to lose and watching our democracy erode.
What do you think these losses are caused by? I thought it was moving to the right and alienating your base, but that seems to be what you want.
Especially since the articles make it clear that the AI companies don’t care about rarity or quality. It’s just a dragnet to get as many books as possible. Sure, a lot of the books are going to be garbage, but some of them are going to be valuable, too.
The AI must be fed, and the only criterion is the book has to be published before 2022.
Weird flex, but okay.
Is this on purpose?
Electroclash? I never associated that with goth.
TBF I wasn’t going to any goth clubs in the 2000s, so I don’t know what they were playing.
Satan’s like one of those characters who has all the right ideas but would never run because they don’t want the job. Like Jon Stewart.
I would probably vote for her. That doesn’t change the fact that she’s a bad candidate. If it were up to me, it’d probably be Elizabeth Warren or Tim Walz.
This will almost certainly not be the matchup, though. Republicans are not going to run Vance. Don’t be silly. Nobody likes him. It’s gonna be like, Carlson v. Newsom.
Money is no object to AI companies. That’s one of the things that alerted the booksellers, in fact—masses of books were being purchased without regard to price or subject matter.
