i'm not sure the stochastic-parrot debate will ever be over if these are the processes they're training by:

quote from the talkie-LM paper:

"Data quality is an important issue for all machine learning experiments. It is a special challenge when training vintage language models. Because there was no digital publishing in 1930, all text in our dataset had to be transcribed from a physical source, which introduces a form of noise not seen in natively digital text. While OCR was an early success story of machine learning and computer vision, the classic OCR systems often used to transcribe historical documents struggle on all but the simplest layouts and cleanest scans. Modern VLM-based systems have higher accuracy, but we have found they are prone to hallucinate modern facts into our corpus, poisoning the exercise."

talkie-1930, the model, solves code equations not unlike a six year old removes malware on a vintage windows 98 install: somewhere within a hundred tries, and seemingly by complete luck. this is after* significant DPO training overseen by a frontier LLM! oh, and it knows that FDR did The New Deal.
