I know everyone on Lemmy hates LLMs, but this is really interesting

10% 4chan

why didn't they just say 0.4chan and be done with it?

They taught it toxicity so it knows what they mean by "don't be toxic". It's only a shame so few flesh and blood models take the same lesson away from it.

That's because to an AI, 4chan is like prison where its raped and beaten on a daily basis. It doesn't want to go back, so it behaves.

Those are actually some very good results. Funny situation, if the copyright companies win the AI legislative war, 4chan is going to get twice as much as reddit did for the data at the minimum.

It's also interesting the model gets worse faster if it has to untrain the toxic data so to speak.

Interesting - I can sort of intuit why it might help. Feeding the model bad data and instructing training it to identify it as such would be advantageous compared to being entirely unaware of it.

Headlines should not say "scientists," they should name the institution. (Harvard in this case.)

I really thought this was the onion.

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.

Give the AI model the gift of culture and class. No suprise it behaves better

When the AI only trained on 4chan dropping.

It needs to be fake and gay

Boy, I don't even know if I wish that much 4chan on a LLM.

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.

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.

Not to anthropomorphize LLMs, but.... Like a vaccine?

My hope was that AI would, at least, bear some disgust for the worst of humanity. My new fear is that AI will bear disgust for humanity.

It's like how vaccinations protect us from illnesses.

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.
