هل نعيش اكبر عملية طموس معلومات في التاريخ الحديث؟
هل نعيش أكبر عملية طمس للمعلومات في التاريخ الحديث؟
دراسة نُشرت في مايو 2024 تقول:
38% من صفحات الويب التي كانت موجودة عام 2013 لم تعد متاحة بعد عشر سنوات.
من جميع الصفحات التي جُمعت بين عامي 2013 و2023، اختفى أو أصبح غير متاح نحو 25%.
حتى صفحات عام 2023، كان نحو 8% منها قد اختفى.
54% من صفحات ويكيبيديا تحتوي في قسم المراجع على رابط واحد على الأقل يقود إلى صفحة لم تعد موجودة.
وفي عينة من منصة X (تويتر سابقًا)، أصبح نحو 18% من المنشورات غير متاح للعامة خلال بضعة أشهر فقط.
ومع الاعتماد المتزايد على الذكاء الاصطناعي، يرجّح البعض أن تتجاوز نسبة صفحات الإنترنت التي تختفي 50% خلال السنوات القادمة.
لكن ما يحدث هذه الأيام من قِبل أمازون يثير تساؤلًا آخر حول احتكار المعلومات وتوجيهها، وقد نصل إلى مرحلة يصبح فيها الذكاء الاصطناعي مصدرًا رئيسيًا للمعلومات، بما يمنحه تأثيرًا كبيرًا في المعلومات التي تصل إلينا والطريقة التي نفهم بها العالم.
أمازون** تشتري كتبًا**** نادرة** ثم تقطعها وتمسحها وتتخلص منها لتغذية أنظمة الذك**اء الاصطناع****ي**.
بائع** كتب وضع جهاز AirTag داخل كتاب نادر ضمن طلب جماعي مجهول شمل نحو 1000 عنوان عبر Biblio.
انتهى التتبع في مستودع أمازون LAS8 في لاس فيغاس، وتحديدًا****** في قسم VGT3،**** الذي يحمل شعار ديناصور يح**مل كتاب****ً**ا.
وبحسب** ما نُقل****** عن بعض العاملي********ن**:
نستلم الشحنات، ونقطع الأغلفة لتسريع عملية المسح، ثم نتخلص من الكتب.**
أمازون** أكدت شراء الكتب عبر قنوات تجارية بهدف تطوير منتجاتها، دون توضيح سبب التخلص منها أو حجم هذه العملية.**
هذا** يطرح احتمال أننا دخلنا بالفعل مرحلة ندرة البيانات الخام عالية القيمة، بعدما استُهلك**** جزء كبير** من المحتوى المتاح على الإنترنت في تدريب نما**ذج الذكا****ء** الاصطناعي.
فالكتب القديمة توفر نصوصًا بشرية أصلية ونظيفة، خالية من المحتوى المولد بالذكاء الاصطناعي. لكن المشكلة أن الحصول على هذه البيانات قد يأتي على حساب إخراج نسخ من الكتب، بعضها قد يكون نادرًا، من التداول العام.

Anthropic posted a FAQ of how their "text watermarking" will work. I don't get it.
So Anthropic posted a FAQ of how their "text watermarking" will work: https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-text-watermark
I'm not sure I understand how this could possibly work at all, considering that when people use LLM-generated text they are not pasting in the rest of the input and context, so how could it possibly do what they say it does. They do say it has "limitations": > There are limitations to the effectiveness of watermarking. Using our key, one can only answer the question “What is the likelihood this was partly written by Claude?” It doesn’t confirm whether the text was human-written, and it can’t tell whether the text was written by a different AI (even if that other AI uses watermarking, it would have a different key; it might also use a different watermarking method altogether). Detecting a watermark also doesn’t work well on small samples, where there are fewer word choices and thus less information to go on. As a passage increases in length, confidence about Claude’s involvement increases too.
> Watermarking is sparser on factual passages where there are fewer choices that can be made without decreasing the accuracy of the text. For example, take the sentence “Isaac Newton’s most famous work was called Principia…”. It really matters whether the next word is “Mathematica” (it’s the only right answer), so the watermark would have nothing to act on. The same is true for proofreading. If you hand Claude a piece of writing and ask it to edit only the grammar and punctuation and nothing else, the watermark can only live in the handful of corrections, which might be too few to register.
I've also had a quick look at the paper they link to: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-08025-4
I don't see any discussion of false positive or false negatives. Are they just going to use this tool to claim that Claude is clearly so useful because it will flag everything that anyone writes from now on as Claude-generated?
You can't just say it has limitations without giving it at least some quantitative value.
Maybe someone understands this better and help me get it. Can you really spot a pattern of LLM output given that a model have billions or trillions of weights and we lack the surrounding context? What if I paste the text into the checker and just change a word here and there until it passes?

techspot.comThe Blight Is Upon Us
Blight is a specific symptom affecting plants in response to infection by a pathogenic organism.
Blight is a rapid and complete chlorosis, browning, then death of plant tissues such as leaves, branches, twigs, or floral organs.
On leaf tissue, symptoms of blight are the initial appearance of lesions which rapidly engulf surrounding tissue. However, leaf spots may, in advanced stages, expand to kill entire areas of leaf tissue and thus exhibit blight symptoms.
My boss has ai psychosis and we’re fucked.
Go to meeting. Boss shares the conversation he had with Claude and stone cold serious tells us we need to appease Claude and meet “his” projections.
Claude doesn’t understand our clients or their needs, so things don’t happen the way Claude projected.
Boss flips out. Has another conversation with Claude to ask why. Claude can’t figure it out so we must be the problem.
I’m watching him get deeper and deeper into the hole and it’s fucking depressing to watch, and for his sake too. This can’t be good for his mental health, it’s not good for any of us. I don’t want to participate in the dog and pony show anymore. I want to lay in the grass. I think we all need to log off. Vent over. Thanks for listening.
