Nice myth building but Bellingcat exposed an entire generation of GRU agents by noticing their fake passport numbers were sequential. These people are not very smart at all, when you look at recent investigations done on shoestring budgets,

You can’t be that naive. “Done is better than perfect”. Please google “commoditize your complements”. Business is about winning in the arena of capitalism, not abstract metrics like code quality.

Meta weaponizes open source to ensure no technological moats develop which increases the value of their moats: - Data (Meta is one of two competitice companies when it comes to data volume) - Compute (Meta is #1 here) - Platform / eyeb

The fact that they trained on Midjourney kind of defeats that argument.

I personally miss the magical era of Wordart, MS Works, Clippy, Desktop Destroying Screensaves, Winamp skins and ICQ The unbounded creativity and pushing of boundaries of that era has given way to a/b tested, reduced to the boring mean

This will get more ruthless over the years as the attention economy isn’t growing anymore. It’s only a matter of time until publishers decide they can’t afford leaving people waste time that could be monetized by new titles on older, no lon

Until Sora is out. Same pattern: - RHLF -> RLAIF using GPT4 - Firefly using Midjourney When there's a "good enough" AI solution, the synthetic data will come from it.
