Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

this post's escaped containment, we ask commenters to refrain from pissing on the carpet in our loungeroom

Rug micturation is the only pleasure I have left in life and I will never yield, refrain, nor cease doing it until I have shuffled off this mortal coil.

@dumbass @db0

I suppose we should be glad that they aren’t training on old 4chan/8chan posts.

@harrys_balzac

Posts there are expired and deleted over time, so unless someone's made an effort to archive them, they're gone.

Of course, the AI people could hoover up new horrible posts.

Feed an A.I. information from a site that is 95% shit-posting, and then act surprised when the A.I. becomes a shit-poster... What a time to be alive.

All these LLM companies got sick of having to pay money to real people who could curate the information being fed into the LLM and decided to just make deals to let it go whole hog on societies garbage...what did they THINK was going to happen?

The phrase garbage in, garbage out springs to mind.

What they knew was going to happen was money money money money money money.

"Externalities? Fucking fancy pants English word nonsense. Society has to deal with externalities not meeee!"

This is what happens when you let the internet raw dog AI

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 0 points 6 months ago

This is what happens when you just throw unvided content at an AI. Which was why this was a stupid deal to do in the first place.

They're paying for crap.
