Maybe it’s just me but (and I ask this as something of an ML practitioner myself) can anyone at Anthropic or Open AI or any of the frontier labs work on summarizing content into a format where a human won’t immediately vomit? There’s this sort of local optima all these models pick which is instantly recognizable and hardly digestible for human consumption. Perhaps too much internal RL against benchmarks during chain…

I'm starting to notice that LLMs tend to speak in the form of movie trailers. Say this in a deep masculine dramatic voice: One man. One gun. A story that would could never die. Compare that with this Coldcard page: Two files, four lines, five years unnoticed. This is the COLDCARD entropy failure It's trying too hard to replicate a dramatic movie arc with every... single... sentence...

but someday in a galaxy far far away...

what do you think these things are trained on? mountains of rubbish, human and likely also AI slop. how many bad movies and ads do u think they are fed. poor things. i can see them caged in the corporate HQ, with their tails shoved down their own throats rigged up to the SlopExtractor9000.

its time for the UN to Unslop the world. or something like that :(

It's not gone. It was just transferred in payment to someone who understood the rules of the game better.

As Kevin Bacon put it in Quicksilver, "What happened to all that money?" "Nothing happened to it. The money's still there. It just belongs to somebody else now."

Maybe it learn it from content farms, not RL.

Before LLM, the majority of the web was content farms... but those are instantly recognizable and we seldom fall into them. Now LLM mixed the content farm style writing with _some_ real content. It take time and effort to tell they are slop, causing much fatigue.

Give it a sample of your own technical writing and tell it to match the voice. I did this with Fable just today and it nailed it.

Not sure if "understood the rules of the game" is doing a good job here. Using a hardware wallet is almost as close as you can get of a cryptocurrency user understanding all the rules of the game. They are following the "gold standard" of security for personal usage. What else should we expect them to do?
