Too fast. Hyper fast... and when everything is “a summary of a summary (of a summary)” we end up with *trash in, trash out*. Not only for models, also for humans! + +So I write posts to keep something real on the page, something that has fingerprints, so something that happened for real. +

+Not synthetic. Not “perfect”. Not optimized for vibes. With a lot of errors and bold opinions 😎 + +## What I mean by “synthetic noise” + +By *synthetic noise* I mean content that looks like information, but it’s basically empty. + +It’s the stuff that: + +- repeats the same ideas with different words +- summarizes other summaries +- avoids details (because details are risky) +- sounds confident even when it’s vague +- is written to fill space + +It’s “content-shaped” and not knowledge, not an experience of someboyd.

Sometimes it’s made by AI and sometimes it’s made by humans, copying AI pattern and that’s **even worse**, because it spreads like a virus but is sneaky and very hard to identify! + +## The main long-term problem + +The main problem is simple: + +> **synthetic noise becomes the input of everything else.** + +Search results, docs, blog posts, tutorials also internal company docs. +If the web is full of low-value text, then people learn slower, decisions get made on weak info, everyone repeats the same half-truths and real experience gets lost! + +For AI models it’s the same idea: trash in, trash out.

+If the training data gets more “soup”, the output gets more “soup”, so it's feedback loop, like a resonating microphone with speaker during a call when you don't use the headphones! + + +## The real enemy + +The worst part is not that the content is wrong, it’s that it’s *vague in a way that looks correct*. + +You read it, you think you understood, you feel productive, but you learned nothing. + +It gives you the *illusion* of understanding and over time, that illusion makes you lazy in a way that you stop asking “what exactly happened?”, stop demanding for numbers, constraints, trade-offs etc.. and you accept generic advice as if it was universal truth. +

+This is how we and also the future LLM get weaker. + +It's not just an human problem, it's also a future LLM-problem! + +## What I’m trying to do here in my blog + +I know that a *blog* is really anacrhonistic nowadays, and probably it's a way to make the LLM stronger and more humanized because i'm providing "human-generated content" to the crawlers, and i know that i'm just a drop in the *synthethic sea*, but it's a *drop of myself* that will be digested from an LLM and from some human (if somebody will read), and i'm happy in anycase, because in the worst case i'm contributing fix a problem that at some point we will face it. + +Joking a-part, maybe is not-a-problem and i'm just hallucinating 😝 and probably i'm acting like Don Chischiotte. + + +
+ +
+ +

+Re-capping again what this blog is and what the purpose is: + +- explain what I built (and what broke) +- write down thoughts +- keep notes and ideas that future-me will actually reuse +- practice writing in English, even if I’m not native + + +## Closing + +This blog is my small effort to dilute the online noise with something that at least tried to be honest. + +Not heroic, Just… less soup. 🙂
