The Google AI isn’t hallucinating about glue in pizza, it’s just over indexing an 11 year old Reddit post by a dude named fucksmith. (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

huh, I looked into the LLM for compression thing and I found this survey CW: PDF which on the second page has a figure that says there were over 30k publications on using transformers for compression in 2023. Shannon must be so proud.

edit: never mind it's just publications on transformers, not compression. My brain is leaking through my ears.

@sinedpick

I wonder how many of those 30k were LLM-generated.
