the only more or less workable way to keep it under control is maintaining a closed loop small-scale environment - kinda like NotebookLM where you upload documents and that’s all there is to work with - outside of that it is a mess.

It’s good to see Doomsday Cults back in vogue. Too bad Robert Anton Wilson is not around.

when i get drunk my mind runs on AmigaOS because i’m from the old school and I shouldn’t have to explain myself

who knew that streaming services aren’t the most sustainable business model… it would be real funny when Netflix roll back to disc rental.

in a manner of speaking - you always end up there. not by design though. models operate via continuous refinement and you can only optimize a model so much until it is a mess and you need to figure out where to roll back. so you either get shit like semantic drift or variance decay and you can whack a mole it to an extent but then you hit the rlhf wall when the model starts gaming its reinforcement framework and the fat lady sings.

humans destroy the planet with gear. that’s what i meant. and it’s the humans who think they can build superintelligent AI with tech and gear so woefully unfit for that it is not even funny.

model collapse is the endgame. that’s the whole point of LLM.

funny thing is that this ouroboros thing been known ever since LLM concept became a thing. that’s why it took forever to take off beyond r&d experiments. basically, the only remotely adequate way to apply LLM is what NotebookLM does - which literally parsing an uploaded document and reiterating it in some preset format. that’s literally it.

technically, it’s the hardware that helps humans destroy the planet. and that hardware is astoundingly inefficient in what they’re trying to do with it. if you need to stack a literal data center with GPUs - maybe you need to develop some new tech.

they are also incredibly bothersome to look after in general. i’d take chicken or geese all day.

technically dinosaurs are giant chicken

we used to have bunnies and ducks and one time we were cleaning up the bunny place and transferred rabbits to a nearby coop. The ducks gathered around it and started quacking at bunnies in this bully manner the ducks do - and then one of the ducks stuck their head into the coop and mama bunny fucked up this motherfucker and turned the coop upside down in the process. that duck got the scarface nickname as a result.

yup

1972 Mario would’ve been a literal room-size machine

all downhill from there… not

Insert some linux joke about CPU efficiency.

and that’s why we can’t have nice things

Datafag Slut sounds like some kink. Kinkshaming is not nice.
