Every single one of us, as kids, learned the concept of “garbage in, garbage out”; most likely in terms of diet and food intake.

And yet every AI cultist makes the shocked pikachu face when they figure out that trying to improve your LLM by feeding it on data generated by literally the inferior LLM you’re trying to improve, is an exercise in diminishing returns and generational degradation in quality.

Why has the world gotten both “more intelligent” and yet fundamentally more stupid at the same time? Serious question.

Please don’t lump us all together.

Our point of sale software doesn’t work with it. So they blocked the update until it does.

From my time majoring in Arch, I’d say the rule of thumb is:

“Is the culture the body came from vanished or changed to the point where no one has a personal stake in it.”

So for example, vikings are long since gone. Modern northern europeans are generally a completely different culture, therefore not grave robbing. Same with Ancient Egypt, Ancient Rome, etc…

Indigenous tribes in North America and Australia for example, still very much around and still very much grave robbing (though that opinion is controversial)

Basically, if the existing culture still shows reverence to those ancestors…leave them alone. If the existing culture no longer honours them as ancestors, dig baby dig.

correction… always were worthless.

It’s always been a con game.

Their so-called “value” was always determined by the ability of the person shilling it to make up bullshit. Literally the definition of a “confidence” game. Same problem as crypto in general. It’s only has value if you have confidence in the person shilling it. The moment that person loses the confidence of their marks, the entire thing crumbles to nothing because it isn’t backed by any real tangible assets.
