The LLMs are committing ecophalogy of knowledge. Their nonsensical output is being fed back into them like an ouroboros, resulting in more nonsensical output.
Humans have been performing ecophagy since hunter-gatherer times, and the rate has increased exponentially since the Industrial Revolutions, but always to the benefit of Humans and humanity.
Now the general-purpose LLMs are being destructively fed all of human knowledge and the data centres are being destructively fed all of our natural resources; not for the benefit of Humans or humanity, but for hubris and apathy.
Diversity of thought is being homogenised as more people use LLMs for mundane tasks that would be quicker, easier and more efficient to do ourselves.
This is why I like shopping at Aldi rather than Woolworths or Coles (besides the corporate Duopsony screwing over suppliers and Duopoly screwing over customers).
I have the choice of queuing for a checkout, and chatting to the other customers (if I am in a social mood), or going straight to the automated checkouts which don’t treat you as a criminal for not having a loyalty card.
This would be where you type in exactly what you want (including SKUs or product codes) and it suggests a million different things that are either tangentially related or not related at all, in an effort to distract you from buying what you want.
This has already been happening; before the GenBS search apocalypse, it was quicker to use a search engine query for “store product” to take you direct to the listing.
For example “M10 bolts Bunnings” would show me exactly what I asked for, instead of using the useless Bunnings search feature.
It is interesting that they couldn’t replace sex workers with their unskilled robots, but they think they can replace teachers!?
These companies are so out of touch with reality that they deserve to go bankrupt.
Their investors are so out of touch that they deserve to loose their investment.
Last time I came to work to no computers, (well no internet and no PoE phones), I identified the issue as the Network switches being down.
I couldn’t call IT because the phones were down and I couldn’t email IT because the internet was down.
(With my managers permission) I went into the Server room, identified the problem (20 year old UPS died) and fixed it. (Bypassed the UPS by connecting the racks directly to the GPOs).
With computers back cup, I emailed IT what happened.
Nek minit, The IT manager has complained to HR, claiming that we had compromised the business IT security and we must both be fired.
We didn’t get written up, but the UPS still hasn’t been replaced 2 months later, the server room locks have not been changed and no one is allowed to turn the lights off.
If we have a power outage, we need to wait for head office to send an IT tech out to flick the circuit breaker.
If a contractor or Safety inspector comes out, they need to be escorted by an IT technician at all times.
We have already failed a Fire Audit and the electricity bills are through the roof, but no one has called out the new IT manager for being a Dick.
If I was a manufacturer, I would do is look though my parts catalogue for recessed door handles with an integrated trim.
I would also create cutting templates for the door skin and stick-on mounting brackets for the one-piece door handles.
Dealer Technicians would have instructions to remove all the retracting crap, tape the template to the skin, and cut out a hole. Then they would epoxy the mounting brackets inside the door shell.
This will enable them to install the old-design handles.
I would recall and cancel the retracting door handles. When stock of the retracting-handle-compatible door skins are depleted, I would supersede the doors to a new, safer design plus the new, safer handles.
Consumer preference is for a device that works the same as my old phone.
We don’t need GenBS leaching all my personal data and corrupting all the data I do have?
I would have thought that the Pentagon would have had plenty of Experts on staff who already knew how to start wars.
If they are being forced to use an LLM to advise them on how to start a war, that would suggest that the DOGE successfully purged a lot of experts in their field and would explain why the current attempts at creating world discord are so hilariously inept.
Religion is very good at helping simple minded people find a community.
And you can’t get much more simple-minded that the GenZ kids that cannot think without using a GenBS.
Nothing is manufactured in Australia any more. Everything is imported from China.
The housing industry has been propping up the economy with Taxpayer funded corporate welfare, and Superannuation funded public welfare and a giant Ponzi scheme of suppliers and it has finally failed over.
They can designate her as a Scapegoat for all the fabricated corruption claims that Rupe, Gina and the other fascist mouthpieces are currently foisting on the Victorian ALP.
The just needs to fix the potholes and spin that Ben did it and they will win the next election by a landslide.
Because corporate bean counters have 12 month contracts and are only judged on their ROI in that period.
Making long-term investments are only seen as expenditures on the balance sheet.

Our own Gray Matter is turning into Gray Goo.
Gray Goo.

By feeding the LLM output back into the LLM and destroying the source material, they are creating a singularity.
The problem is that it is a heat-death-of-the-universe-type singularity.
The only reasons for this complaint system to be so easily exploitable by bad actors are;
Can it be used to derail Fossil Fuel projects too?
That is because all the data centres consuming all the electricity and water to generate heat and will make the world unliveable for humans.
We won’t survive to retirement!

It should be called SED (de-optimisation).

Just like Sam Rockwells character in Moon!
Reading the article makes me feel like it should be in Not The Onion.

This shows that Corporate Interests have the same amount of contempt for teachers as they do for sex workers.
And that they are completely out of touch with both industries.

Also promoting local manufacturing.
