In the era of “AI”, high-quality user-generated content (i.e. #UGC) becomes as valuable as #PreWarSteel.
My cyberpunk pastime in Midjourney is to imagine thousands of salt-and-thorium mini-reactors powering desalination plants supporting walkable American villages with e-rickshaws. Microsoft is training language models to generate documentation to build nuclear reactors. That is the solarpunk future
SHOT:
“Against the threat of model collapse, what is a hapless machine-learning engineer to do? The answer could be the equivalent of prewar steel in a Geiger counter: data known to be free (or perhaps as free as possible) from generative AI’s touch.”
