You have noticed it. ChatGPT feels dumber than it used to. Your prompts that worked six months ago produce worse results now. The writing sounds flatter. The ideas sound safer. The internet itself feels like it is shrinking. Every article reads the same. Every email sounds the same. Every answer sounds like it was written by the same voice.

You thought it was you. It is not you.

Researchers at Oxford and Cambridge published a paper in Nature proving what is happening. They call it Model Collapse.

Here is the mechanism in one sentence. AI trained on AI-generated data gets dumber every generation until it forgets what real human data looked like.

The internet is filling with AI-generated content. Blog posts. Articles. Reviews. Comments. Social media. AI companies scrape the internet to train the next generation of models. Which means the next generation of AI is being trained on the output of the current generation.

Each cycle loses information. Not randomly. It loses the rarest, most unusual, most creative parts first. The researchers call these the "tails of the distribution." The weird ideas. The unexpected perspectives. The things that made the internet feel human. Those disappear first.

What remains is the average. The safe. The expected. The bland.

Then the next generation trains on that. And loses more. And the next generation trains on that. And loses more. The researchers proved this is not a slow decline. Major degradation happens within just a few iterations. Even when some of the original human data is preserved.

They tested it on large language models. On image generators. On statistical models. The pattern was the same every time. The output converges toward a narrow, flattened version of reality that looks nothing like the original data.

The lead researcher put it plainly. "Large language models are like fire. A useful tool. But one that pollutes the environment."

The pollution is invisible. You cannot see which sentence on the internet was written by a human and which was written by AI. Neither can the AI that is about to train on it. And once the tails are gone, they do not come back. The damage is irreversible.

This is not a prediction anymore. It is a diagnosis.

The internet you grew up on was built by humans writing things no algorithm would have written. Strange, personal, imperfect, alive. That internet is being diluted. One generation of AI at a time. And the models trained on what remains are learning a smaller and smaller version of the world.

Model Collapse is not a technical problem. It is a cultural one. The thing that made the internet worth reading is the thing that disappears first.

#KDNC @CadenceMinerals Green iron champion – @Edison_Inv_Res

✅ Cadence is advancing the past-producing, integrated Amapá iron ore project in Brazil, where it has so far earned a 35.7% interest
✅ Our unrisked valuation of the project, adjusted for the restart timing, is US$1.3bn on a 100% basis, implying a value to Cadence of US$458m at 35.7% ownership.
✅ We believe Cadence’s market cap substantially undervalues Amapá’s potential and premium market positioning. We view the upcoming licensing news & Azteca restart as significant share price catalysts.
✅ Overall, we believe that Cadence’s current market cap of just £16m does not reflect the upside offered by the staged development approach and Amapá’s premium positioning within the iron ore industry.

@Trader__007 Agree, it’s just an excuse for a posh piss up as far as I can see, with no real commitments on anything.

#GRL TP 15p in last note from SPA. (Free to view on website). Dilution doubled issued shares, so 7-8p more comparable. Homase opps significantly more advanced now & teething problems rectified given volume throughput. Once in higher grade ore production should jump significantly.

It’s official, 2024 was the worst year for bumblebees since records began🚨

The latest findings from #BeeWalk, our national bumblebee monitoring scheme, have revealed bumblebee numbers declined by almost a quarter (22.5%) across Great Britain💔

Most of Thames Water’s sewage works do not have enough tanks or pipes to process current volumes of sewage.

And just to remind you, Ofwat has confirmed it, water companies have admitted it, for 35 years we have paid them to build, operate and maintain a properly functioning sewage system, this should not be happening.

Where’s our money???!!!

@Ed_Miliband if this is true then it shows what little difference we’ll make and at what cost?

[Alexander Stahel 🌻 @BurggrabenH]

The very same day the UK went without coal-fired electricity, the world burned 24 million metric tons of coal.

For perspective: The world consumed on Oct. 1 in one single day nearly five times more of the rock than Britain used during the whole of 2023. Yes, five times more in one day than in a year.

Where was it consumed? Mostly in China.

Not again… what is the point of banning something and then giving it emergency approval year after year. Damn right there’s an emergency and it’s in Nature and these decisions are making it worse… we have to stop the cycle if we are to survive.
