Lookup Japan's Keirin racing. I think it's pretty much that. IIRC at the top levels they also require the racers to stay onsite under observation for several days before a race.
Has anyone read the underlying studies for the first section? I tapped out but I find it somewhat hard to believe that rates of hard substance abuse are higher in places like Cupertino than in some ghetto school (the author specifically implies this with their vagueness).
I can see high achieving kids having an unneeded Adderall prescription or binge drinking, but am I really being led to believe that rates of crack abuse are similar? Did they look at kids who drop out/never attend (probably not)? Just feels a bit off.
> Even here on HN there are comments trying to downplay the issue by portraying the victims as mostly wealthy or landlords, which are presumably acceptable victims to people who like these kind of narratives.
After skimming some of the comments here I'd even go so far as to say that it's the majority of the comments here.
> While some of this is for annotation and ratings on data that came from the web or LLMs, they also create new training data whole-hog:
The article states that this human data is PhDs, poets, and other experts but my recollection from some info about programming LLM training is that there was a small army of low paid Indian programmers feeding it with data.
Even if it's actually experts now I have to wonder when that will switch to 3rd worlders making $1/hour.
