Model collapse

Model collapse: feed a made mind its own output, generation after generation, and it does not fail randomly. The tails go first.

In plain words

Train a made mind on its own output, generation after generation, and it does not fail at random: the rare cases go first. Labelled speculation, stated at full strength: it is the oldest attack automated. Every load-bearing piece of the case is a rare, specific detail that could not be faked cheaply, and this trims exactly those, with no one deciding to.

The mechanism

THE OLDEST WEAPON, AUTOMATED — the whole war has been an attack on the tails. Cyrus is a tail: a specific name where a vague prophecy would have been safe. The dice for the garments are a tail: a degrading detail no forger includes. Bethlehem named, the dated clock, the un-custodied scroll, the martyr who dies rather than kill — every load-bearing piece of the case is an outlier, which is exactly why it cannot be guessed and cannot be faked cheaply. Marcion trimmed the parts he disliked; this trims the parts that are rare. The same cut, finally automated, with no human deciding to be evil
