@MarkAmesExiled You guys need to refer to it as Trump. This is Netanyahu with his genocidal cabinet, who runs the show. They want full control of GCC with the support of the US military.

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.

@guy_laron 1 through 16 are very interesting. 17 through 18 biased, especially 18, not surprising.

[john f roberts @druidrix]

@fishontherun02 One more thing: expect that the judges will be very lenient and biased towards specific countries. After all, this is a Trump Cup, and Trump can only win by cheating. So let's see who can cheat the most, my take is on Israel, like the farcical European Song contest.

[john f roberts @druidrix]

@fishontherun02 Imagine if Iran wins the Cup. That would be in par with Jesse Owens 4 gold in an Aryan-filled stadium with Adolf. Unfortunately, if Iran goes to the final, Infantino will sabotage it on Netanyahu's orders.

@Playerinthgame I didn't listen, I only reflected on her hands

[john f roberts @druidrix]

@Playerinthgame Are you referring to the way she holds her hand

[john f roberts @druidrix]

@brownricec66327 Thnx. Interesting, but such a c*nt

[john f roberts @druidrix]

@brownricec66327 Really

[Othell Yarwyck @bigbrovar]

Suddenly all the people who cared about human rights when Russia and Qatar hosted the world cup and suddenly quiet. .. No fancy documentary from the BBC on immigrants rights. No expose on Crime in inner cities (as we saw in South Africa)

Just silence.

@RnaudBertrand Merci, Arnaud!

[john f roberts @druidrix]

@MarkAmesExiled Something tells me this is a false flag operation by the Hebrew boys. USA will never tell how, where and why regarding the drone

[john f roberts @druidrix]

@fishontherun02 Noticing the same from where I'm in Europe. It will take FIFA many, many years to recover from Infantino's corrupt leadership

[john f roberts @druidrix]

@derJamesJackson You mean, Seppuku?

[john f roberts @druidrix]

@stats_feed Someone in World of Statistics has been cleaning up the numbers so it's favourable to Israel. Here is the real result👇🏽

[john f roberts @druidrix]

@arpitachatter Unfortunately, he is just a product of years of mismanagement by the Congress party. The tragedy of India's independence only led to a change of management, from British rulers to British-educated, upper-class Indians. What was needed was a change of operating system.

@sopjap Where do I find Chris's thread, pls?

[Nassim Nicholas Taleb @nntaleb]

Their absence of self-awareness is a serious pathology. They just killed 3k civilians (really, civilians) and are complaining that their invading soldiers are facing some risks WHILE INVADING.
