> Something, something, idiocracy comes to mind.

So, confirmation? They are catching up quickly!

The actuality is, anyone with pre-slop data still has their pre-slop data. And there are endless ways to get more value out of good data.

Bootstrapping better performance by using existing models to down select data for higher density/median quality, or leverage recognizable lower quality data to reinforce doing better. Models critiquing each other, so the baseline AI behavior increases, and in the process, they also create better training data. And a thousand more ways.

Managed intelligently, intelligence wants to compound.

The difference between human and AI idiocracy, is we don't delete our idiots. I am not suggesting we do that. But maybe we shouldn't elect them. Either way, that is one more very steep disadvantage for us.
