Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Discovered some commentary from Baldur Bjarnason about this:
On a personal sidenote, I can see non-English text/audio becoming a form of low-background media in and of itself, for two main reasons:
First, LLMs' poor performance in languages other than English will make non-English AI slop easier to identify - and, by extension, easier to avoid
Second, non-English datasets will (likely) contain less AI slop in general than English datasets - between English being widely used across the world, the tech corps behind this bubble being largely American, and LLM userbases being largely English-speaking, chances are AI slop will be primarily generated in English, with non-English AI slop being a relative rarity.
By extension, knowing a second language will become more valuable as well, as it would allow you to access (and translate) low-background sources that your English-only counterparts cannot.
do you keep count/track? the moleskine must be getting full!
I don't keep track, I just put these together when I've got an interesting tangent to go on.
