On: Meta will train its AI on Newsmax, a far-right media outlet

[konart]

I was under the impression that all of them try to train their models on all data they can possible ibtain.

I'd think what ever data this Newsmax has - it would be in all datasets by now or soon enough. Was I wrong?

that was the first stab at it; but it's pretty clear that you try to get good data, especially when you see how much the open source chinese models are doing with far less compute and parameter sizes. These are the open source datasets: https://huggingface.co/datasets/HuggingFaceFW/fineweb

I don't think they do that anymore, but at the beginning, yes, they threw all kind of bullshit in there to get a proper gradient.
