My paraphrase of the below article: "LLM-generated content tweaked by humans is a good data source for LLMs. By 'good' we mean 'not as good as human-generated data but it's cheaper and probably good enough'. We're running a damn business here, what do you expect us to do, feed them the best possible data? Lol. Lmao."

If you're an "ML is consciousness" type person, this is treating your AIs like factory farmed livestock, feeding them their own waste product to save money

@darius what’s the name for the AI version of prion? Because that’s how it happened.

I gave a talk at FutureEverything 2016 (no video online afaik) where I said *if* we do manage to create conscious intelligent beings, I'm more afraid of us treating them as chattel slaves than I am of them enslaving us.

@darius There is something to be said of treating AIs well, since they may, one day, have a consciousness like us.

@darius Yep and this is why I grim at people asking for "human like intelligent robots/AI". you miss enslaving people this much, huh?

@darius The Singularity crowd are out here believing that they're going to create this superintelligent being on a healthy diet of its own excrement, what they're going to get is a fountain of unintelligible epistemological-shitpost word-slurry, and you _have to know_ they're going to start drinking from their gibberish spigot and saying, I don't understand this at all it makes no sense, oh my god this machine must be _too smart_.

@darius us: oh so you're actually serious, you genuinely believe this is a new form of consciousness - so you must want it to be treated humanely and insist on its fundamental rights and freedoms as a sentient being?
them: absolutely not

@darius Oh my.

I was just wondering why reddit is suddenly full of obviously AI written posts.

It's to get information from people's reactions, isn't it.

Ah, the growth of the AI equivalent of the human centipede continues apace!

@darius this is a serious risk called "recursive pollution." See berryvilleiml.com/results/BIML
