I am not feeling so generous.
AI is a technocratic political project for the purpose of industrializing knowledge work. The details of how it works are a distant secondary concern to the effect it has, which is to enclose and capture all knowledge work and make it dependent on capital.
is ouroboros degradation of llms still a thing?
to my understanding prompt injection is a fundamental property of how the context window works for chatbots. is this degradation a similarly fundamental property of the training process?
this is actually the best advice there is
I'm much less upset about the destruction of rare (old, out of print, niche) books by megacorps than I am about the fact that those books can't be digitized by libraries for public access or benefit because the former is legal and the latter is not.
