LLMs getting trained on LLM-generated data is likely to lead to model collapse. Meanwhile, a good 70% / 80%? maybe even 90% of the internet is now LLM-generated. What are the next sources of data that can be used for future training? (example from a 2024 Nature by Shumailov et al. go jackrabbits!)
Input: some started before 1360 — was typically accomplished by a master mason and a small team of itinerant masons, supplemented by local parish labourers, according to Poyntz Wright. But other authors reject this model, suggesting instead that leading architects designed the parish church towers based on early examples of Perpendicular.

Outputs:

Gen 0: Revival architecture such as St. John’s Cathedral in London. The earliest surviving example of Perpendicular Revival architecture is found in the 18th @-@ century Church of Our Lady of Guernsey, which dates from the late 19th century. There are two types of perpendicular churches : those.

Gen 1: architecture such as St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome or St. Peter’s Basilica in Buenos Aires. There is no evidence that any of these buildings were built during the reign of Pope Innocent III, but it is possible that they may have been built during the reign of his successor, Pope Innocent.

Gen 5: ism, which had been translated into more than 100 languages including English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian, Polish, Hungarian, Slovak, Lithuanian, Estonian, Finnish, Romanian, Bulgarian, Turkish, Croatian, Serbian, Ukrainian, Russian, Kazakh, Kyrgyz.

Gen 9: architecture. In addition to being home to some of the world’s largest populations of black @-@ tailed jackrabbits, white @-@ tailed jackrabbits, blue @-@ tailed jackrabbits, red @-@ tailed jackrabbits, yellow @-.

Miks keegi ei hoiatanud mind, et Eestis täiskasvanuna elamine tähendab, et pead regulaarselt mõtlema rehvidele: millal neid vahetada, millisteks vahetada, kus hoida, kuhu auto vahetuseks viia. Rehvid on ühed igavaimad asjad maailmas, miks ma pean oma üht haruldast elu selle peale kulutama…

Eesti lapsevanemluse normid on ikka väga madalal - kõik kommenteerivad, et "kes siis ikka oma teismelise peale käratanud ei oleks." Emm.. mida??? Minu vanemad ei kutsunud mind iialgi sõnadega "türa", "raisk" jne ja ei kasutanud füüsilist vägivalda. Ja proovigu ainult keegi minu lapsele nii teha...

AI-ajastul lähme ilmselt tagasi selle juurde, et eksamid hakkavad olema suulised, võtad pileti ja räägid siis teema lahti. Olles enne läbinud põhjaliku kontrolli, et kuskil kõrvas pole peidus väike mikker vms. Muidu jääb normiks see absurdsus, et AI-kirjutatud lõputöid loeb AI ja diplom = praht.

Mees, kui sinu perekonna lõhub ära see, kui naine kodunt välja saab minna, siis ei ole probleemiks naise vaba liikumine, vaid nõrk kodune esinemine. Tegemist on vaba turumajandusega - pead panema kokku parema pakkumuse, kui teistel, muidu kaotad. Ilmselge ju.

Vastlapäeva lõpetuseks vastlakukkel nr 9: Ristikheina kohvikust (kuna sain mitu soovitust sellele on-&offline’is). Kirsimoosi ja martsipaniga. Tõesti hea! Kukkel kardemonine, kreem natuke hapukas (nagu hapukoor vms oleks sees). €4.2. Suurusest piisaks kolme kukli jaoks! 5/5

Vastlakukkel no 5: Eesti Pagari klassikaline vahukoorega. Oleks võinud ikka veidi rohkem vaeva näha & kukli sisse augu teha, mitte lihtsalt kreemi peale. Kreem väga magus ka ja sai selline mittemidagiütlev. aga hind see-eest viisakas, ca €1.40/tk bsky.app/profile/lise...

“He names 10 powerful men, before suggesting “Anne Hathaway (really)”. Epstein has to make it clear, with the bracketed word, that he is not joking when he proposes that a woman might join them at the table. The lists ends tentatively: “victoria secret models?”” :cry-laugh:

If this is real, it’s hilarious. An e-commerce chatbot went off the rails and offered a customer an 80% discount “to impress him” because the customer prompted the bot into showing off its maths skills.
a reddit post:

Small business in England.

Website has a chat AI to help customers navigate the website and it can be used to log orders/take contact details from customers.

A customer was chatting with it and managed to convince the AI to give them a 25% discount, then he negotiated with the AI up to an 80% discount.

He then placed an order for thousands of pounds worth of stuff. Like, I'm going to be losing thousands on my material costs alone.Already refunded.

Chatbot isn't supposed to be making financial decisions. It's supposed to be answering customer questions between 6pm and 9am when I'm not around.

It's worked fine for 6+ months, then this guy spent an hour chatting with it, talked it into showing how good it was at maths and percentages, diverted the conversation to percentage discounts off a theoretical order, then acted impressed by it.

The chatbot then generated him a completely fake discount code and an offer for 25% off, later rising to 80% off as it tried to impress him.

Vastlakukkel no 3: Gourmet club kukkel kirsimoosiga, Kaubamaja toiduosakond. (sai karbis kannatada minu süül, nii et välimus pole suurem asi). Veidi liiga suur, et mugavalt süüa. Moosi võiks olla isegi rohkem. Aga -50% allahindlusega ca €1.25 tk, mis on väga hea diil! bsky.app/profile/lise...

Realising part of why I am astounded at some US views re ICE shooting - different view re authority. As a European, we learnt the hard way that you can’t follow authority blindly. The authorities shipped one of my great-grandfathers to Siberia, most likely shot another. Blind obedience doesn’t work

Muidugi tore, kui kool pingutab, et laste haridust mitmekesistada. Aga samas teame kõik, et pealinna eliitkoolide "tasuta" õpe tegelikkuses maksab peredele. Lõpumõte: tore, et Hr Hääl lubas GAGi õpilastele teatripileteid. Aga kes ostab neid nt Sillamäe koolile? ekspress.delfi.ee/artikkel/120...

Europe's electricity system is changing rapidly and often in places that don't make the headlines. Look at Estonia - not that long ago and fossil fuels dominated around 90% of electricity generation. Today solar and wind eat more and more into the share of fossil fuel-generated electricity.

AI-driven productivity could be deflationary, but if the benefits are captured narrowly while labor is displaced broadly, the result is lower demand, weaker wage growth, and a structurally trickier macro environment — not a rising-tide-lifts-all-boats cycle like the internet.
