    I’m sure they’ve convinced the board and the shareholders that this is some kind of big win. But I don’t think it’s going to be impressive for very long.

    There’s only so much value an AI can learn from reddit bullshit like “1. break off all contact 2. hit the gym 3. profit” and “the narwhal bacons at midnight” and endless boring pun threads.

      It sounds a lot like this quote from Andrej Karpathy :

      Turns out that LLMs learn a lot better and faster from educational content as well. This is partly because the average Common Crawl article (internet pages) is not of very high value and distracts the training, packing in too much irrelevant information. The average webpage on the internet is so random and terrible it’s not even clear how prior LLMs learn anything at all.

        So it will end in a downward spiral because it starts learning from AI articles, from which articles are being written, from which the AI learns, from which articles are being written …

          As long as there’s supervision during training, which there always will be, this isn’t really a problem. This just shows how bad it can get if you just train on generated stuff.
