IT’S LIVE!

I finally got myself a dedicated self-hosted blog.

Which I should have done years ago. But now I’ve done it today. And frankly, this is a relief.

「ChatGPT has now a big problem.

Researchers at Oxford exposed a massive threat to large language models.”

It’s called "Model Collapse."

And it explains why the internet is about to become a toxic waste dump for Large Language Models.

Right now, AI companies are scraping the entire web to train their next-generation models.

But there’s a massive problem.

The internet is no longer just human data. It is rapidly filling up with AI-generated text, images, and code.

What happens when an AI trains on data generated by another AI?

A new paper in Nature just gave us the answer. And it is terrifying.

When AI models are recursively trained on AI-generated data, they suffer from irreversible brain damage.

The researchers found that the model starts forgetting the "tails" of the original data distribution. The rare, weird, unique, and complex human nuances completely disappear.

It's like making a photocopy of a photocopy.

Every generation loses resolution. The output gets flatter, blander, and more generic, until the model completely collapses in on itself.

For years, we thought the biggest bottleneck for AI was compute, getting enough H100 GPUs from Nvidia.

This paper proves the real bottleneck is us.

If we keep flooding the internet with synthetic AI slop, we will poison the very data pool required to build smarter models.

The ultimate irony? We thought AI was going to make human creators obsolete.

Instead, this research proves that verified, genuine human data is about to become the most valuable commodity in the tech industry.」

@lain@lain.com Another episode in the GNU cancel campaign using out of context quotations from a mailing list.

Someone asked a hypothetical "Would you accept a contribution if it was made using slave labour?" and the maintainer said "Yes".

That doesn't mean they endorse slavery, which is how a lot of people misunderstand it. It just means they don't care who wrote the code as long as it is free software, which is quite reasonable.

Also if you're one of those people who post that one screenshot that only includes the "Our answer must be YES." out of context without Eliz' actual reasoning included then you are an extremely disingenuous person.

I see Eliz' post on the emacs-devel mailing list is going viral on Fedi. context

I just want to say that people who criticize this post fundamentally misunderstand the free software movement.

In my eyes I see that a lot of newgens see "free software" more as an "ethical consumption" label like "fairtrade", "organic", "cruelty free", etc. That's not what this movement is.

The free software movement sees source code as research. And good researchers do not ignore facts even if they were found by unethical experiments. They only care about getting the facts.

@aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place Your long time criticism of the free software movement is... that it doesn't solve every problem with humanity ever but instead narrows down its scope to stay in its own lane? Huh?
