"AIs want the future to be like the past, and AIs make the future like the past. If the training data is full of human bias, then the predictions will also be full of human bias, and then the outcomes will be full of human bias, and when those outcomes are copraphagically fed back into the training data, you get new, highly concentrated human/machine bias.”

i like that in mastodon to RT something you click once. in every other twitter-like system it's a menu selection, which is two mouse clicks. it really makes a diff.

@jerryorr

I mean, sure, the same holds for humans. We are also trained on purely human biased training data.

For people who just brushed over the "copraphagically": Nothing can survive on its own waste products.
