Isn’t it funny that all the “worthless” content out there on the internet is actually changing the world. Like how 4chan was mocked as being a cesspit for losers, but now everyone knows memes like Pepe the frog and Wojack from there. And like now this very comment and the billions of other comments on here, Reddit, Twitter, etc that are regarded as a “waste of time” are being used to train multi billion dollar companies to build the most powerful AI the world has ever seen. For free.
The moral of the story here is if you know something valuable, don’t share it online, because then everyone knows it.

- Rastonbury 3y agoNot sure if including or excluding 4chan in the training set moves the needle in LLM quality. Reddit for sure but 4chan is questionable
- latexr 3y agoSharing it is often the only reason why it has value in the first place. If the authors of Gangnam Style or The Fox or any other silly viral thing hadn’t shared them they would have had zero value.
