Jeff Jarvis<p><span class="h-card"><a href="https://hcommons.social/@scott_bot" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>scott_bot</span></a></span> <br>I often make fun of Yahoo for thinking it could catalog everything on this new thing, the Web. Some would say that the training sets are just too large to curate as you suggest. At the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/StochasticParrotsDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StochasticParrotsDay</span></a> event Friday, I believe it was <span class="h-card"><a href="https://dair-community.social/@emilymbender" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>emilymbender</span></a></span> who mocked the apparently Freuudian quest by present LLM-makers to get an ever-bigger model. So in the end, I will agree to the extent possible, that one should concentrate on quality over quantity in training data.</p>

Tane Piper ⁂<p>Inspired by <a href="https://tane.codes/tags/StochasticParrotsDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StochasticParrotsDay</span></a> yesterday I ended up building a Mastodon Bot that takes prompts generated from an empty question to <a href="https://tane.codes/tags/ChatGPT4" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChatGPT4</span></a> and some random numbers and has a parrot repeat it verbatim - <span class="h-card"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@StochasticEntropy" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>StochasticEntropy</span></a></span> </p><p>I've now thrown up a website too - <a href="https://stochasticparrot.lol/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">stochasticparrot.lol/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><span class="h-card"><a href="https://dair-community.social/@timnitGebru" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>timnitGebru</span></a></span> <span class="h-card"><a href="https://dair-community.social/@emilymbender" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>emilymbender</span></a></span> <span class="h-card"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@mmitchell_ai" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>mmitchell_ai</span></a></span></p>
Debora Weber-Wulff<p>One of the great insights gleaned yesterday from the fantastic panel discussions at <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/StochasticParrotsDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StochasticParrotsDay</span></a> (and chatting with 1000 participants dropping useful links, collected at <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bG0yIdawiUvwh7m0AnXV5W6JHkK9xwXemuVjSU5tbhQ/preview" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">docs.google.com/document/d/1bG</span><span class="invisible">0yIdawiUvwh7m0AnXV5W6JHkK9xwXemuVjSU5tbhQ/preview</span></a> ) was this: "The truth is behind a paywall, the lies are free".</p><p>It was a mind-blowing experience, so much good input on the problems current <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/LLM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LLM</span></a> products bring that are so often not discussed. </p><p>Deepest appreciation to "Richard" for explaining what the Keynian workers had to deal with!</p>

Or anything that doesn't have "intelligence" in it.</p>
