Chinese being more token efficient is a myth, and seems to stem from the superficial fact that characters are only visually more space efficient.

The fact that each Chinese character takes up 3 bytes (as opposed to 1 byte of English), words in Chinese typically require compounds of several characters, and that tokenizers have a limited vocabulary limited to mostly English means that Chinese is actually token inefficient.

Yes. Most people I've played with do some variant of the super stacker ruleset.

All draw cards function as a skip your own turn and add to the draw stack. Skip and reverse can also function as passing the stack to someone else. This adds an additional element of risk/reward, do you play a scarce action card to pass the large stack at the risk of it backfiring and you possibly receiving an even larger draw stack, or do you just take the draw now?

The variants were popular enough that the UNO Facebook page has officially suggested them, for what it's worth.

Already happening for years.

Amazon mechanical turk, Outlier.ai, scale ai, are all gig platforms that pay people to produce real human content for LLM training.

At first they were paying people to actually produce content, like worked solutions to maths problems or translations, then they pivoted more to rating LLM output.

And as with every enshittification cycle, wages and work rapidly dried up, so people responded by asking LLMs for the answer just to meet deadlines and get by.
