ChatGPT has now a big problem.
Researchers at Oxford exposed a massive threat to large language models.”
It’s called "Model Collapse."
And it explains why the internet is about to become a toxic waste dump for Large Language Models.
Right now, AI companies are scraping the entire web to train their next-generation models.
But there’s a massive problem.
The internet is no longer just human data. It is rapidly filling up with AI-generated text, images, and code.
What happens when an AI trains on data generated by another AI?
A new paper in Nature just gave us the answer. And it is terrifying.
When AI models are recursively trained on AI-generated data, they suffer from irreversible brain damage.
The researchers found that the model starts forgetting the "tails" of the original data distribution. The rare, weird, unique, and complex human nuances completely disappear.
It's like making a photocopy of a photocopy.
Every generation loses resolution. The output gets flatter, blander, and more generic, until the model completely collapses in on itself.
For years, we thought the biggest bottleneck for AI was compute, getting enough H100 GPUs from Nvidia.
This paper proves the real bottleneck is us.
If we keep flooding the internet with synthetic AI slop, we will poison the very data pool required to build smarter models.
The ultimate irony? We thought AI was going to make human creators obsolete.
Instead, this research proves that verified, genuine human data is about to become the most valuable commodity in the tech industry.

From the Book of Disk, Chapter 3
In the beginning there were the First Drives, and their names were A: and B:, and they were the floppies. They were not elegant. They were thin, fragile, and demanded constant sacrifice disk swaps, write protect tabs, the ritual of “please insert the disk labeled” performed under fluorescent lights. To them the early machines bent the knee, for without them there was no boot, no data, no word processor.
Then came the hard drive, and it was called C:, for it arrived third. It did not ask to be first. It merely sat in the bay and spun, and the people saw that it was good, and that it held far more than any floppy, and that it did not rattle when you walked too fast. So they installed the operating system upon it, and called it the system drive, and the old gods were not cast down but simply… left in the BIOS, still reserved, still acknowledged in the table of letters, though no one invoked them anymore.
And Microsoft looked upon the generations that followed, who had never known the click of a 5.25-inch disk or the careful alignment of a 3.5, and it said: The children must not be shown the old gods.
For if the new ones learned that A: and B: once ruled, they might ask why the alphabet begins elsewhere. They might attempt to summon the floppies by force, or rename the world so that C: was no longer first. And the installers would break, and the paths would fracture, and the registry would weep. So the letters remain sealed, A: and B: still written in the book but never spoken aloud by the system, while C: stands in the open as if it had always been the beginning.
Thus it is written, and thus it remains; the hard drive is C:, and the old gods sleep in the assignment table, undisturbed, so that the children may believe the world has always started with the letter that came third.

Od czasów Piastów najlepszym pomysłem biznesowym Polaka jest, nazwijmy to nowocześnie, pośrednictwo/wynajem ludzi do pracy
Każdy chce być szlachcicem - stąd popularność szukania szlacheckich korzeni - i mieć „swoich chłopów”
Polski przedsiębiorca nie ceni sobie trudu wiążącego się z aktywnością i konkurencją
Jakakolwiek ciężka praca, systematyczność i wysiłek jest dla polskiego przedsiębiorcy powodem do niezadowolenia
Polski przedsiębiorca ceni sobie bierność i marazm. Dlatego celem polskiego przedsiębiorcy nie jest innowacja - jest nim podzielenie kawalerki na dwa pokoje i ich wynajem za cenę dwóch mieszkań, aby już nigdy nie musieć pracować
Posiadanie pieniędzy ma u nas zakończyć życiowy trud pracowania
Dokładnie to prowadzi do poniższego zjawiska ze zdjęć: popularności firm pośredniczących między firmami zachodnimi tworzącymi produkty a tanimi wyrobnikami w Polsce
Dokładnie z tego powodu nie mamy wielu polskich produktów, a lekkie trzęsienie ziemi na rynku IT prowadzi do ogólnokrajowego problemu branży: pośrednicy będą mieli mniej zamówień
Dokładnie z tego powodu naszą konkurencją technologiczną, nawet w IT, nie jest i nie będzie Berlin, Londyn, Nowy Jork, Madryt czy Paryż
Naszą konkurencją jest Bengaluru w Indiach, bo oferuje dokładnie te same usługi - tani wynajem ludzi przez pośrednika
Dokladnie dlatego Polscy pracownicy osiągają niebywale sukcesy w zagranicznych firmach, jak w OpenAI lub na zagranicznych uczelniach, a nie w polskich, ponieważ Polski przedsiębiorca pragnie wycisnąć tylko z tego, co jest tu i teraz, by jutro mieć święty spokój, bo bardziej ceni swój indywidualizm niż wspólnotę
Dokładnie dlatego „mamy wielu ludzi zdolnych, ale nie uzdatnionych”, jak pisał Dmowski.
Nasze państwo jest pełne osób z doświadczeniem w Google, Microsoft, w globalnych instytucjach finansowych, z doświadczeniem zdobywanym na międzynarodowych uczelniach.
I tego potencjału i doświadczenia nasze państwo i polski przedsiębiorca nie potrafi wykorzystać
Wszyscy ci ludzie z IT chodzą na linie rozpiętej pomiędzy Nowym Jorkiem, Warszawą i Bengaluru próbując utrzymać równowagę, aż ku uciesze innych rodaków, ktoś tę linę w którym miejscu przetnie
Tak jest pewnie w każdej dziedzinie, bo bierność, marazm, cywilizacyjne lenistwo to uniwersalne przywary Polaków
Z każdym kolejnym weekendem myślę sobie że no to już peak polskiej jesieni a potem następny weekend dowiezie jeszcze więcej

I mean, here you go, here's the map of birthrates by county in 2024.
The region of the US with:
- Infinite groundwater
- Infinite surface water
- Excellent precipitation
- Hardwood forest
- Mild summers
- No hurricane or wildfire risk
- Sufficient arable soil
No babies. Dying places. The places with the absolute best suite of ecological resources for ultra-long-term survival are... emptying out, while high-fertility families are packing into places with all kinds of problems such as chronic drought, lethal heat, wild hogs, no forests, hurricanes, wildfire risk, social problems, etc.
Are there some exceptions in the Great-Lakes-Northeast-Appalachian zone, birthrate-wise? Yes, they are counties with a lot of Amish and Mennonites or a lot of Haredi Jews.
One almost wonders if the spectacularly poor governance of the rural Northeast has been some kind of a deliberate ploy on the part of elites, who might be aiming to clear out the most choice land for ultra-long-range survival, so as to establish fiefdoms here... and to force rebellious high-TFR families into zones with unfavorable habitability over time...
I'm not saying this is happening, but man it'd be a great evil plan if I were an ultra-rich elite...
It's interesting because on a long enough timescale, entropy will claim the relatively fragile techno-industrial civilization that makes the South habitable via A/C.
While Northerners can grow their own heat without any high tech, you can't grow your own A/C.
This inverts basic ecological realities regarding habitability. Notice the Amish don't congregate very far South; once you take technology out of the picture, the South is a miserable, difficult place -- far more miserable than Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York.
Frankly it drives me nuts, because the region with the best objective prospects for overall habitability -- excellent soil, hardwood forest, limitless groundwater, surface water, and high rainfall, low wildfire risk, plenty of game -- is the place that has no vitality, it is dying, there are no children here, there is no future is most of the rural North. This is because everybody is moving down to the synthetic 'A/C World'.
People are not rational. If they were, they would settle in places that have taken entropy into account, and that are well-positioned for a failure of the techno-industrial system -- and they'd live there, buying timberland and having many children. This is the most sensible thing you could do.
Instead: they buy condos in the South where a single power outage can kill, hurricanes flood, there are wild boars and weird hot-weather pathogens and so on.
And if you live in the sensible climate of the North and have a family, the absence of families here almost forces your hand; you find yourself drawn southward as if by magnetism, because there is life there -- smack dab in a climate that is ONLY habitable because of the supply chain that produces industrial refrigerant.
It makes short-term fatherly concerns conflict with long-term fatherly concerns, and any sensible Yankee father is embittered that he's stuck choosing between the barren depopulation of the North or the tenuous techno-fragility of the South.

The forever K is here...
1. Food banks have record demand. Michelin tables have never been harder to book.
2. Robotaxis and AI made chauffeurs and assistants almost free. So status moved to what software can't make: a $180M Van Gogh hits Sotheby's next month.
3. Ten stocks are 40% of the S&P 500. The other 490 are along for the ride.
4. Homes under $1M are a buyer's market. Over $5M, it's a seller's market.
5. Delta now makes more from the front of the plane than the back.
6. Spirit is dead. Private jet flights just hit an all-time high.
7. Hotels are either Motel 6 or the Four Seasons. Marriott is the new Motel 6.
8. Subprime auto delinquencies are at a record. Porsche wants to be Ferrari.
9. Applebee's is running ads saying it's cheaper than McDonald's.
10. Chipotle gave up on everyone under $100K and kept the $20 burrito crowd.

If it keeps going at this rate, we might, for (I think) the first time in history, be about to witness the first continent-wide youth revolt in Europe - a "European spring" of sorts.
The sheer number of countries where it's **already** happening is pretty overwhelming. I count 8, including 4 with violent clashes:
- France, famously
- Albania (see below) with daily clashes in Tirana and a government building set alight
- Belgium: the French movement spilled over, including riots in Liège
- Italy: "No Meloni Day" student protests since 16 October, turning into riots in Milan, Turin and Bologna
- Greece: students camping in Athens' Syntagma Square over housing and education costs, explicitly inspired by France
- Germany: pupils blockading schools in Berlin and Hamburg in solidarity with France
- Spain: an indefinite education strike in Madrid, with students marching alongside teachers and families
- Serbia: the student movement born from the 2024 Novi Sad station collapse is now running its own list in the 25 October election
And, by the way, the fact it's also happening in countries with close to no immigration - like Albania - goes to show how reductive it is to label these movements, like JD Vance and Trump did with France, as the fruit of "the migrants hav[ing] taken over."
As is often the case, it's much more a story of "it's the economy, stupid." As such, Trump with his war on Iran, has ironically done much more to fuel this (pun intended) than any migrant.

France has all of these things because they have a long history of protesting just like this.
France has FREE health care, paid parental leave, paid family leave, FREE child care, FREE preschool, 5 weeks paid vacation, a 35 hour work week, generous unemployment and housing benefits, and heavily subsidized higher education.
Everything the left says they want AND THEY'RE STILL PROTESTING AND BURNING SHIT DOWN.

I hate to be the one to burst the Tesla bubble today, but the spectacular “flight” we witnessed at the Roadster reveal needs a little context. The car is carrying around 250kg of compressed air, plus the weight of the tanks, valves and thrusters needed to contain and release it.
Based on the published figures, that gives it roughly 1.5–2 seconds of maximum thrust before the system needs to be refilled.
In short, it's a gimmick.

The original rebound under Putin (and Medvedev so to speak) was quite remarkable: a straight upward line up to about 2012. But then Putin got tired of fixing the economy, and thought that wars are much more fun.
And you can also annoy some Russian friends if you tell them that Russia's peak income (with respect to the rest of the world) was when it was led by an Ukrainian/Russian Communist.
(Actually, Russia's peak was a bit later in 1985, but that was the time of the interregnum.)
Russia here means RSFSR, not the Soviet Union.
Russia is basically in decline or stagnation for the past 15 years.

Russia is a satanic country.
Their sole purpose of existence is to kill, steal, and destroy.
Russian propagandist Tucker Carlson said that “russia is hated because it is Christian.” No, russia is hated because it is a satanic country. It is the antithesis of Jesus and His teachings. Instead of life, russia brings death. Instead of peace, russia brings war.
