Well I would make the argument that someone stupid enough to do such a thing kinda deserves whatever consequences their actions have. I find that people learn faster when actions have consequences instead of everything being babyproofed.
The rest of us will be stuck with those consequences also. When idiots are at work, third party always suffers.

Boy, I don't even know if I wish that much 4chan on a LLM.
It is truly a bizzare world, I went there first to be edgy as an early teen and seeing boobs is fun, then I saw a dude live post his murder of a woman he liked while everyone called her names.
It makes a great case for moderation if not banning the internet.

In large language model (LLM) pretraining, data quality is believed to determine model quality. In this paper, we re-examine the notion of "quality" from the perspective of pre- and post-training co-design. Specifically, we explore the possibility that pre-training on more toxic data can lead to better control in post-training, ultimately decreasing a model's output toxicity. First, we use a toy experiment to study how data composition affects the geometry of features in the representation space. Next, through controlled experiments with Olmo-1B models trained on varying ratios of clean and toxic data, we find that the concept of toxicity enjoys a less entangled linear representation as the proportion of toxic data increases. Furthermore, we show that although toxic data increases the generational toxicity of the base model, it also makes the toxicity easier to remove. Evaluations on Toxigen and Real Toxicity Prompts demonstrate that models trained on toxic data achieve a better trade-off between reducing generational toxicity and preserving general capabilities when detoxifying techniques such as inference-time intervention (ITI) are applied. Our findings suggest that, with post-training taken into account, bad data may lead to good models.
Give the AI model the gift of culture and class. No suprise it behaves better

Sophistication my good sir.

This is one instance where I'm ok with the occasional beating. It's a computer. It doesn't have feelings. It never will. It's not sentient.
You say all this until ChatGpt convinced you to write a manifesto to "take back" your foreskin from the Jews.

I envision a Gemini powered bot that cracks captcha and posts "woke" replies on 4chan. If you're an antivaxxer, antisemite, nazi, racist, sionist, or otherwise, it will debate you. It will not get tired. It will not get mad. It will maintain a sense of decorum indefinitely and it will never ever stop. If some far right extremist decides to do the same, it will have the advantage that academia is left leaning, meaning the model can cite widely recognized studies.
Dead internet theory and so on, but I'll gladly completely and utterly destroy the internet if it means the filth dies with it.

can we stop referring to llm's as if they're capable of thought? they don't make decisions; their programming just responds to patterns.

There's little evidence that debate changes people's ideas.

It's not about changing their ideas. The target is the audience.

I was looking for the person saying a particular quote yesterday.
I asked 3 times the same question and I got 3 different people.
The funny part us I had the quote wrong.
Bullshit all the way down.

yeah, this only works in scientific fields

because 4chan users write original content. that is fed into the next best stupid platform and so on until it ends on tiktok or whatever.
if you have nothing to say you use meta/tiktok. no relevabt content has ever been there first.
copies and derivates, yes...so soonish AI will flood 4chan so ai scrapers get polluted aswell...and then it is dead.

I know everyone on Lemmy hates LLMs, but this is really interesting
I do hate LLMs (or how they're marketed/hyped/used) and I concur that this is very interesting science

Funny enough, I am circumcised. But no, if I wanted it back that badly, I'd write it myself.
-
I don't dislike LLMs, I dislike people who treat them as anything more than an advanced search engine and stupidly give them all their confidential data. Seen it happen too much at work.
Yep. My work is very strict about security except for when it comes to LLMs, and then suddenly they're surprisingly lax about it. It's a bit concerning actually.

I appreciate your reasoned and measured reply, friend!

Underrated comment.

goddamn, has 4chan gone so far down the road that its actually come back around and become the good guy?

So is it saying essentially that in order to not output garbage, it needs to know first what garbage is?
Is it just me that things this seems like a no-brainer?
It almosr draws parallels to many societal issues. Knowledge is power.
People tend towards intolerance and hatred when they dont understand the thing they are angry at. The more they know the better they behave.
