Also also, anyone remember that this is what social media/microblogging used to be? Instead of what it has become now?
I know I sound like an old man doing these "journal" type posts about walking on social media but this is also helping in a way.
Also I am an old man :D)
Day 4 of
#walking (missed a day in between but that's alright, back at it again today). Doing it after sunset more and more, just to get used to it. Cleared my head. Released endorphins. Feeling good.
#positivity #mentalhealth #walkingmeditationDay 3 of success with dragging my body (and mind) out for a walk, from an obsessive spiral into some work related tasks and some admin stuff. Day 3 of feeling better immediately after the walk. Day 3 of realising how much this helps.
I know it's common knowledge but walking is incredibly useful for the mind and body. Especially if you have spent the whole day absorbed in work or something very mentally taxing, or if you are working through some feelings. Sadly, being trapped in those mental states makes it hard to remember that exercise/movement, even a very short walk can work wonders.
I know it’s not wise to use medical/human biology terms in relation to
#AI but I still find it fascinating how they somewhat mirror the effect of junk information on human minds.
It’s another instance of the “garbage in, garbage out” idea but also something more. They found that that even after fine-tuning, the brain rot persisted, showing lingering effects of the junk data used in pre-training. A cognitive decline of sorts.
The choice of junk data was from Twitter - posts with "high engagement" and short, "shallow" (M1) and low semantic quality, i.e. "posts full of clickbait language" (M2). Yeah that checks out... 😆
Interesting paper this. Nice clickbaity title too. The study tested the effect of “junk data“ in the pre-training of an
#LLM and found a "brain rot" effect in its capabilities.
