I’m starting to think this is according to plan. Tinfoil hat of course and a heavy one at that… But in the long-ish run reducing life expectancy will bring massive savings on whatever remains of pension systems and in the care industry.

Wait… It’s not “firm” as in “company that made the stuff”? FIRMware = the official software a firm pushes to patch things they make

Maybe not yet, but…

• Spez will turn Reddit into a bot farm and sell this as training data
• Musk turns Twitter into a bigoted cesspool and will sell this as training data, which will subsequently be flagged for low quality (also: a botfarm)
• Threads is a corporate ad dashboard (and we already know how easy it is to GPT copy) and Zuck will sell this as training data
• Facebook is either dead or only good for boomers and Poles
• blogs are dead
• Fediverse is out there waiting to be scraped but possibly too small to sustain a big model

We’te getting there, hopefully.
