and the problem nobody pushing the slop machines will admit is that they're constantly retraining the models on new text, more and more of it coming from other LLM output, so it's becoming an ouroboros of slop and no matter how much they iterate on them they'll be more and more full of poisoned info
Let's talk about generative AI, contaminated information, and rhubarb.

The longer generative AI exists, the more of what we take for granted is going to become toxic cognito-hazard waste.
We are living in the era of contamination.
It is happening all around us, and the people doing it have names and addresses. 13/13

Generative AI is an engine for churning out contaminated information faster than people can produce safe information, let alone fact check and correct it.
And corrections never remove the original contamination, it's an attempt to stem the metaphorical bleeding and hope for the best. 11/

This is (among many, MANY reasons) why I refuse AI in libraries. Everything it touches is fruit of a poison tree. Or rhubarb leaves.

I've pointed out before that English uses stress patterns and prosody to mark parts of speech; see also "COMplex" (noun) vs "comPLEX" (adjective)

Something interesting you might not have realized: a number of words in English are NOUNS when you stress the FIRST syllable, but VERBS when you stress the SECOND syllable.

I was listening to @thebulwark.com's Next Level podcast today and they were thinking through the chance that Trump actually tries to seize Greenland and there was a @jvl.bsky.social sort of 'I kinda hope he does it to drop the mask entirely' and I just cannot scream loudly enough: No, You Do Not. 1/

If you're reporting on the deepfake porn site because of Grok, please make clear in the headline that governments not acting are allowing the scaled abuse of women and children online.
Don't say Grok is doing that harm. Grok isn't doing anything. It's human men who are doing these things.

Your reference point for what those potential Big Boy Wars could look like shouldn't be Iraq or Afghanistan, but Super Ukraine, where inc. civilians, Russia's invasion has probably produced something on the order of 1.5-2 *million* casualties.
