"Cool" and "for real" are no different than "rizz" and "no cap". You spoke "brain rot" once, and "cringed" when your parents didn't understand. The cycle repeats.
“Studying “Brain Rot” for LLMs isn’t just a catchy metaphor—it reframes data curation as cognitive hygiene for AI, guiding how we source, filter, and maintain training corpora so deployed systems stay sharp, reliable, and aligned over time.” An LLM-written line if I’ve ever seen one. Looks like the authors have their own brainrot to contend with.

Attention is all you need.
In today's hyper saturated world, attention is everything: - consumer marketing - politics - venture fundraising When any system has a few power law winners, it makes sense to grab attention. Look at Trump and Musk and now Altman. They figured it out. MrBeast... Attention, even if negative, wedges you into the system and everyone's awareness. Your mousey quiet competitors aren't even seen or acknowledged. The attenti…
If you could just spam annoy until you win, we'd be all dancing to remixed versions of Macarena.

They benchmark two different feeds of dangerous tweets: (1) a feed of the most popular tweets based on likes, retweets, and such (2) an algorithmic feed that looks for clickbait in the text and blend these in different proportions to a feed of random tweets that are not popular nor clickbait and find that feed (1) has more of damaging effect on the performance of chatbots. That is, they feed that blend of tweets into…
Blended in how? To the training set?

That is indeed an LLM-written sentence — not only does it employ an em dash, but also lists objects in a series — twice within the same sentence — typical LLM behavior that renders its output conspicuous, obvious, and readily apparent to HN readers.

"Brain rot" is just the new term for "slang that old people don't understand". "Cool" and "for real" are no different than "rizz" and "no cap". You spoke "brain rot" once, and "cringed" when your parents didn't understand. The cycle repeats.
Brain rot in this context is not a reference to slang.

If it conveys the intended information then what's wrong with that? You're fighting a tsunami here. People are going to use LLMs to help their writing now and forever.
It’s a text generator regurgitating plausible phrases without understanding and producing stale and meaningless pablum. It doesn’t even know what the intended information is, and judging from the above neither did the human involved. It doesn’t help writing it stultifies and gives everything the same boring cheery yet slightly confused tone of voice.
Are you describing LLM's or social media users?
Dont conflate how the content was created with its quality. The "You must be at least this smart (tall) to publish (ride)" sign got torn down years ago. Speakers corner is now an (inter)national stage and it written so it must be true...
