The dildo of consequences rarely comes lubricated

Okay, Nigerian Twitter is something else and I am so sad I’m learning about it only after Twitter died.

So a real fucked up layer to this is that part of the reason chatGPT talks the way it does is because it’s been fine-tuned to do so.

And a lot of that fine tuning is done by outsourced African labor. We know about Kenyan and Ghana workers at minimum.

I don’t get a feel that PG is a stereotypical AI booster, but I do think his visceral distaste for getting a pitch he thinks is written with the help of an LLM is quite funny. Maybe if he’d been a bit more harsh towards his fellow VCs this wouldn’t have happened.

The ‘kids learn english from movies’ line is just insane. Yes they learn it from movies, and music, and books, and the internet, and etc. That is how it works. A lot better than duolingo in fact (Free yourself from the terror of the owl, you have been keeping your streak for over year and you still can’t speak the language well enough to watch a movie. Streaks, progress bars, challenges, making the app sad, experience points, achievements, shit thought up by the utterly deranged).
