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.

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.
