Not when you also including poisoning attacks. I remember the original paper showing issues with even a couple percent of certain kinds of synthetic data too, not 100%.

The biggest issue (having seen it first hand), is anyone trying to directly address the actual issues gets attacked by their ‘own side’, often in a lot of ways that are hard to address and everyone will deny are actually happening. A lot of

Well, it’s less for them to be able to do the groping, and a lot more about them not being sent to jail for all the groping they’ve already been caught doing. He’s known since the first term (and he’s not the only one!) that if he loses he’

A huge problem with ML training is the ‘ouroboros issue’ - training ML with input from other MLs breaks things in very deep (but difficult to stop/detect when it’s happening) ways due to the way the internal math works (model collapse)

Well that, and leverage/manipulation, and spending all their time figuring out how to scapegoat everyone else convincingly. It’s definitely a set of skills.

These folks know that tendency (and in some cases actively did these things to get the leverage they have!), so good luck doing it without getting caught.

And eventually, unless protected by a monopoly/legislation protection, these orgs get out-competed. Which is why they also seem to focus so much on protecting their position. It explains a lot, frankly.

The Supreme Court has generally upheld searches at the border being reasonable (along with a lot of other IMO unreasonable things being reasonable). If you’re expecting the Courts to bail him out, I wouldn’t hold my breath. The gov’t can ma

Power users absolutely hate this mindset. It’s resulted in Apple animations taking seconds for something that was done before the animation even started.
