Yup. The cruelty is the point.
AI is going to happen.
Oh? So there are hard numbers showing a positive ROI now?
No, see, they're all criminals except the ones who benefit me! Those are the good ones!
"AI, please find a way out of this 'sandboxed' environment that isn't actually segmented from the internet, and hack several of our competitors. Here are a bunch of tools you can use for it."
"Okay."
"OMG LOOK GUYS! Our AI is so amazing and scary and cool it broke out of our sandbox and hacked our competitors!"
I wonder how the venture capital firms that fund Anthropic's money-burning operation feel about this. "Oh look, now I know how that particular funding round's money was actually spent. Fantastic."
The problem is that synthetic data is not fit for that purpose. The more of it you use, the worse at dealing with the edge cases LLMs get.
Think of it like this... You feed a language model a bunch of genuine human-written content. Great. Now it can produce the most likely text in a lot of cases. Word combinations that rarely appear in written language rarely get generated, so most of its synthetic data lacks those rare - but still valid - combinations.
Train it on this synthetic data, and now more outliers and rare combinations get filed off. Rinse and repeat.
It's also unavoidable.
(Non)Human centipede.
I'm waiting for the day when desperate LLM companies start paying people to post real human content, only for those people to just ask ChatGPT to do it.
That's his goal. He is literally trying to break democracy itself. He is a fascist. This is a five-alarm fire.
Fuck. This is bad. He really is going to try to invalidate mail-in ballots, and that motherfucking demented monster mails in his own goddamn ballots.
Oh, he's reviving this bullshit again. Must be something new in the Epstein files. Or maybe he got some bad news about Iran.
