Training RL on 4chan With the 'Line-Go-Up' Loss: An Alignment Satire

willcb · x · 2026-10-16

willcb posted a dense piece of AI-circle satire: claiming to RL-train on all of 4chan using the loss function from the "line-go-up paper," with environments last-gen Claude built out of a failed startup's monorepo — "it's gonna be fine as long as we think hard enough about what alignment means," plus "of course i didn't look at the data, that isn't bitter lesson pilled."

A black-humor jab at sloppy RL data practices and alignment-speak.
