Train More On Far Better Data

“There's a dynamic race where everyone's trying to build their own models, resulting in massive economic waste. This frenzy distracts from the pressing tasks at hand, contributing to chaos. Consequently, we need to standardize certain aspects, feed our models better data, and focus on stability. Instead of relying on webscraped data, we should use national datasets of good quality to feed these free-range organic models. This principle applies to national, proprietary models, and beyond. One of the reasons I endorsed the moratorium is that I believe there's a need for a six-month pause to gather our resources before things spiral into complete insanity. By next year, this technology will be everywhere, with everyone investing indiscriminately, leading to absolute chaos.” - Emad Mostaque
