Low Quality Facts

Today's Low Quality Ad is for this Sword Girl Pin. This is why rich powerful men try to control women. Because if girls grow up thinking they can become anything they want, 9/10 girls will choose to be sword-wielding badasses determined to cut down the patriarchy.

@njr summarization is one of the strongest use cases. JPEG for works is pretty awesome, just like JPEG for images. Is it somewhat lossy? yes. Does it look a LOT like the original? yes, but always check of course.
@codinghorror Is summarization the same? Doesn’t really seem like it. And Imthink jpeg is a poor analogue. Predictable artifacts, mostly very localized. LLMs can completely reverse meaning summarizing. It’s more a jpeg encoder that sometimes inverts the image, and sometimes mixes your image with some others…
But Insee slightly more where you’re coming from!

@quixoticgeek Don't know, it's too far ahead at the moment.
@cstross completely understandable.
Everyone's sharing this WikiEdu article about LLMs and Wikipedia so I guess I will too, here's some money quotes:
Our fundamental conclusion about generative AI is: Wikipedia editors should never copy and paste the output from generative AI chatbots like ChatGPT into Wikipedia articles.
we were expecting these [LLM-generated] articles to contain citations to sources that didn’t exist, but this wasn’t true: only 7% of the articles had fake sources. The rest had information cited to real, relevant sources.
Far more insidious, however, was something else we discovered: More than two-thirds of these articles failed verification. That means the article contained a plausible-sounding sentence, cited to a real, relevant-sounding source. But when you read the source it’s cited to, the information on Wikipedia does not exist in that specific source. When a claim fails verification, it’s impossible to tell whether the information is true or not. For most of the articles Pangram flagged as written by GenAI, nearly every cited sentence in the article failed verification.
It's very interesting to read about how they detected AI-generated text and how they evaluated the accuracy of the tool they used; also, what specific tasks contributors found LLMs useful for. They also note that intervening early with new Wikipedia contributors greatly reduced AI-generated content.
In conclusion, what he said.
They also created training modules, one on using genAI tools with Wikipedia, and one on how LLMs in general work, which I think will be generally useful for anyone. I think it would be good if someone presented this in video format, because that is apparently how the kids learn these days.
@cstross interesting. No return visit to Amsterdam?

Someone needs to do this work. Your support makes it possible.
The newsletter is free to all and pay-what-you-want. I also have founding memberships, which make a significant difference and allow me to take on more ambitious projects.
@molly0xfff
Just re'upped my Founding Membership (can one re-Found?) and I highly recommend Molly's newsletter to everyone at any level of support
@IAmDannyBoling eheh thanks. But it won't be tonight - it seems it's been delayed ad the committer has some doubts about their skills.
@stefano That could be your lucky break. 👍
@silverpill So this is what LitePub is for? There is now also https://github.com/mastodon/fediverse_auxiliary_service_provider_specifications/blob/main/discovery/data_sharing/v0.1/data_sharing.md
@astro LitePub was like a dialect of ActivityPub, but LitePub relay protocol - yes, it is used for both publishing and consuming content.
FediBuzz can follow servers and even other LitePub relays, which will Announce public posts to it.
I think FASP is not necessary because we already have similar capabilities in ActivityPub. And those capabilities can be expanded: https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/idea-for-a-more-capable-relay-server/8442

@ps Interface option is not related. The backend supports language selection, but it is currently not possible to select post language in mitra-web (the default UI):

You can only do that in 3rd party clients.
