We will take the entire library of human knowledge, cleans it, and ensure our version is the only record available.
The only comfort I have is knowing anything that is true can be relearned by observing reality through the lense of science, which is itself reproducible from observing how we observe reality.
Have some more comfort

We will use Grok 3.5 (maybe we should call it 4), which has advanced reasoning, to rewrite the entire corpus of human knowledge, adding missing information and deleting errors.
Then retrain on that.
Far too much garbage in any foundation model trained on uncorrected data.

What the fuck? This is so unhinged. Genuine question, is he actually this dumb or he's just saying complete bullshit to boost stock prices?
my guess is yes.

The thing that annoys me most is that there have been studies done on LLMs where, when trained on subsets of output, it produces increasingly noisier output.
Sources (unordered):
- What is model collapse?
- AI models collapse when trained on recursively generated data
- Large Language Models Suffer From Their Own Output: An Analysis of the Self-Consuming Training Loop
- Collapse of Self-trained Language Models
Whatever nonsense Muskrat is spewing, it is factually incorrect. He won't be able to successfully retrain any model on generated content. At least, not an LLM if he wants a successful product. If anything, he will be producing a model that is heavily trained on censored datasets.
i think musk is annoying and a bad person but everyone responding with these papers is being disingenuous because it’s

a solved problem at this point,

clearly not what musk is planning on doing and

you guys who post these studies misunderstand what the model collapse papers actually say and either haven’t read them yourself or just read the abstract and saw “AI bad” then ran with it bc it made easy sense with your internal monologue. if you’re wondering what these papers all actually imply… go read them! they’re actually, surprise, very interesting! if you’ve already read the sources linked in these comment chains then… you understand why they’re not particularly relevant here and wouldn’t cite them!! like ffs your sources are all “unordered” not because it’d be too much work but because you just went out and found things that vaguely sound like they corroborate what you’re saying and you don’t actually know how you’d order them
idk why people seem to think oligarchs would be dumb enough to invest billions into something and miss some very obvious and widely publicized “gotcha”… that would be fucking stupid and they know that just as well as you?? people get really caught up on the schadenfreude of “haha look at the dumb rich people” without taking a moment to stop and think “wait, does this make sense in the first place?”
it’s why people circulate these machine learning papers so confidently with incorrect quips/opinions attached, it’s why when people do interact with these papers they misunderstand them on a fundamental level, and it’s why our society is collectively regressing like it’s 1799. guys i get your brain gives you dopamine to dunk on people but don’t do it at the price of your agency and rational ability.

I read about this in a popular book by some guy named Orwell
Wasn't he the children's author who published the book about a talking animals learning the value of hard work or something?

:::Dude wants to do a lot of things and fails to accomplish what he says he's doing to do or ends up half-assing it. So let him take Grok and run it right into the ground like an autopiloted Cybertruck rolling over into a flame trench of an exploding Startship rocket still on the pad shooting flames out of tunnels made by the Boring Company.

It's not so simple, there are papers on zero data 'self play' or other schemes for using other LLM's output.
Distillation is probably the only one you'd want for a pretrain, specifically.

It's pretty obvious where the white genocide "bug" came from.

“Deleting Errors” should sound alarm bells in your head.
And the adding missing information doesn't. Isn't that just saying we are going to make shit up.

Books are not immune to being written by LLMs spewing nonsense, lies, and hallucinations, which will only make more traditional issue of author/publisher biases worse. The asymmetry between how long it takes to create misinformation and how long it takes to verify it has never been this bad.
Media literacy will be very important going forward for new informational material and there will be increasing demand for pre-LLM materials.

You have to have data to apply your logic too.
If it is raining, the sidewalk is wet. Does that mean if the sidewalk is wet, that it is raining?
There are domains of human knowledge that we will never have data on. There’s no logical way for me to 100% determine what was in Abraham Lincoln’s pockets on the day he was shot.
When you read real academic texts, you’ll notice that there is always the “this suggests that,” “we can speculate that,” etc etc. The real world is not straight math and binary logic. The closest fields to that might be physics and chemistry to a lesser extent, but even then - theoretical physics must be backed by experimentation and data.
Thanks I've never heard of data. And I've never read an academic text either. Condescending pos
So, while I'm ironing out your logic for you, "what else would you rely on, if not logic, to prove or disprove and ascertain knowledge about gaps?"
