ICE Accidentally Sends Maduro Back to Venezuela

WASHINGTON — In a stunning instance of miscommunication between departments, ICE agents have deported Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro back to Venezuela just hours after he was abducted by the DEA. “ICE is simply doing its job and keeping America safe,” said a defensive Kristi Noem when reached for comment. “I don’t know how the liberal media is trying to spin this, but Maduro is a bad hombre. He is a dangerous man, has known ties to drug cartels, and has absolutely no legal right to be in the United States. Adios, buster!” The move has been met with strong criticism from the rest of Trump’s cabinet, most vocally from RFK, who reportedly had high hopes that Maduro could “Hook it up with some Molly.”

I thought an edible would take the edge off family Christmas. I spent the day on the floor

If there’s anything worse than children yelling in your ear as you wonder if you’ll regain the capacity to distinguish a door from a window, I haven’t experienced it

Introduced technology never goes away so we’ll just have to accept that there will be genAI in the 3D movies we watch on our transatlantic zeppelin flights.

If you want a rigorous analysis of why statistical #AI models collapse when continuously trained on their own data without external supervision and constraints, read this amazing paper from last year.

If you want to get a visual intuition of how model collapse looks like, look at this video.

When AI stares at its own reflection for too long, and its inference is purely rooted on statistics rather than reasoning, this becomes statistically inevitable.

Keep this in mind whenever you hear someone talking about “AI models learning from their own outputs” without addressing the statistical parrot issue.
