"AIs want the future to be like the past, and AIs make the future like the past. If the training data is full of human bias, then the predictions will also be full of human bias, and then the outcomes will be full of human bias, and when those outcomes are copraphagically fed back into the training data, you get new, highly concentrated human/machine bias.”

Yup, today I did a search for something, and an #LLM summary / result combined an article I wrote with another, completely unrelated article, and provided a bullshit response that appeared factual.
Admittedly, it did give my site credit alongside the other article, but NOW, the problem is that it’s smearing my reputation as my article is correct, but the summary is wrong — implying that I’m the one that fucked up.
💰 Spain is done with AI slop and disinfo
｢ The Spanish bill, which needs to be approved by the lower house, classifies non-compliance with proper labelling of AI-generated content as a "serious offence" that can lead to fines of up to 35 million euros ($38.2 million) or 7% of their global annual turnover ｣
For those just learning about LibGen because of the reporting on Meta and other companies training LLMs on pirated books, I’d highly recommend the book Shadow Libraries (open access: direct.mit.edu/books/oa-edited…).
I just read it while working on the Wikipedia article about shadow libraries, and it’s a fascinating history. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_l…
I fear the already fraught conversations about shadow libraries will take a turn for the worse now that it’s overlapping with the incredibly fraught conversations about AI training.
