  • Look up stuff where? Some things are verifiable more or less directly: the Moon is not 80% made of cheese,adding glue to pizza is not healthy, the average human hand does not have seven fingers. A "reasoning" model might do better with those than current LLMs.

    But for a lot of our knowledge, verifying means "I say X because here are two reputable sources that say X". For that, having AI-generated text creeping up everywhere (including peer-reviewed scientific papers, that tend to be considered reputable) is blurring the line between truth and "hallucination" for both LLMs and humans

  • Basically, model collapse happens when the training data no longer matches real-world data

    I'm more concerned about LLMs collaping the whole idea of "real-world".

    I'm not a machine learning expert but I do get the basic concept of training a model and then evaluating its output against real data. But the whole thing rests on the idea that you have a model trained with relatively small samples of the real world and a big, clearly distinct "real world" to check the model's performance.

    If LLMs have already ingested basically the entire information in the "real world" and their output is so pervasive that you can't easily tell what's true and what's AI-generated slop "how do we train our models now" is not my main concern.

    As an example, take the judges who found made-up cases because lawyers used a LLM. What happens if made-up cases are referenced in several other places, including some legal textbooks used in Law Schools? Don't they become part of the "real world"?

  • Algorithm based on LLMs doubles lossless data compression rates

    Jump

  • I tried reading the paper. There is a free preprint version on arxiv. This page (from the article linked by OP) also links the code they used and the data they tried compressing, in the end.

    While most of the theory is above my head, the basic intuition is that compression improves if you have some level of "understanding" or higher-level context of the data you are compressing. And LLMs are generally better at doing that than numeric algorithms.

    As an example if you recognize a sequence of letters as the first chapter of the book Moby-Dick you'll probably transmit that information more efficiently than a compression algorithm. "The first chapter of Moby-Dick"; there .. I just did it.

  • UN body finds Russia responsible for downed MH17 flight

  • I was not blaming your country at all, you're more than doing your part. It's just frustrating.

    Thinking of the families of the victims, I hope that knowing they are not forgotten and people are trying to uncover the truth about what happened will at least provide some closure.

  • When we say "Ye did this", how many people actually recorded, played, produced, published this? I know next to nothing about modern music production, so maybe now he can do all of that at home with a laptop and an internet connection, but if there are others making money out of a clearly unstable person and getting none of the hate, I'd like at least to try and avoid giving them my money

  • The thing is that social media have an oversized influence that makes a calm discussion of possible solutions very hard to have. When the US recognized the implications of letting a foreign power exert so much control over their people, they tried banning TikTok, or breaking it up so their US operation would be under US control.

    Facebook should also be split and its EU operation purchased by a European company, that could then spend more time implementing the other changes you mention (doom-scrolling, data protection) and less time lobbying to get all these pesky EU regulations removed.

    And yes, it does feel heartbreaking to count the US as a threat to national security, but China has never threatened to annex Greenland with military force, so what would have been paranoia and extreme anti-americanism last year is now the sensible, level-headed thing to do.
