  • Already starting to happen a bit.

    The AI only fools us into thinking it’s intelligent because it picks the most likely text response based on what it’s read before. But often, the output is confidently wrong as it’s really just a parlor trick.

    Now, since it’s starting to ingest more if it’s own output, the definition of ‘what is the most likely response’ has been poisoned a little from ingesting that formerly wrong response.

    Add in all the blog spam, the fake but funny reddit answers etc, and the system - which doesn’t actually think - starts to get more and more deranged.





  • I’m on Express VPN only because they apparently specialise in avoiding geoblocks and VPN detection for overseas TV sites etc. (Plus three months free for being a TWiT.) So far it’s true for BBC iPlayer, RTe Player and UK Channel 4. For this purpose I’m not overly worried about how log-resistant they are, but interesting to keep up with the score here. The integrated ‘ad blocking’ is also useful, but slower than AdGuard as it seems pages have to wait for assets to fail to load before displaying rather than just being 404’d.
