Elon Musk wants to rewrite "the entire corpus of human knowledge" with Grok (programming.dev)

We will use Grok 3.5 (maybe we should call it 4), which has advanced reasoning, to rewrite the entire corpus of human knowledge, adding missing information and deleting errors.

Then retrain on that.

Far too much garbage in any foundation model trained on uncorrected data.

That's not how knowledge works. You can't just have an LLM hallucinate in missing gaps in knowledge and call it good.

SHH!! Yes you can, Elon! recursively training your model on itself definitely has NO DOWNSIDES

[–] Wispy2891@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

And then retrain on the hallucinated knowledge

[–] grue@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Yeah, this would be a stupid plan based on a defective understanding of how LLMs work even before taking the blatant ulterior motives into account.

And then retrain it on the hallucinations...
