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.

I really like how in the past couple of years they've decided model collapse just isn't a thing anymore.
They just don't call it model collapse, and that fixes the problem. (Somebody on bsky said 'hey that isn't actually model collapse, read this article on it written by the AI company'. And then the article described model collapse, but didn't call it model collapse, it was amusing. (And I went into it, thinking I could be wrong, going 'ah so it is only related to a specific set of instructions', but then the article also showed that models without those instructions had the the problem (in a much smaller way, but the bad instructions were spreading due to synthetic data))).
Reminds me of OpenAI's blog post explaining the goblins. It described textbook model collapse, but somehow avoided saying the actual words "model collapse" even once.
I was talking about that one, shit didn't I even mention the goblins? Lol, sorry about that.
