Hm. Google Gemini has humans reading sampled chats for "quality assurance." And you can't opt out. How nice...
I wonder, how ethical would it be to flood Gemini with chats that say mean and nasty things about the human reviewers, for them to see? Or to encourage them to find a better job?
Not that I recommend being cruel to anyone, ever. But... guerilla tactics can be effective.

The Diffusion Duality, Chapter II: $\Psi$-Samplers and Efficient Curriculum

https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.21185 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2602.21185 https://arxiv.org/html/2602.21185
arXiv:2602.21185v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Uniform-state discrete diffusion models excel at few-step generation and guidance due to their ability to self-correct, making them preferred over autoregressive or Masked diffusion models in these settings. However, their sampling quality plateaus with ancestral samplers as the number of steps increases. We introduce a family of Predictor-Corrector (PC) samplers for discrete diffusion that generalize prior methods and apply to arbitrary noise processes. When paired with uniform-state diffusion, our samplers outperform ancestral sampling on both language and image modeling, achieving lower generative perplexity at matched unigram entropy on OpenWebText and better FID/IS scores on CIFAR10. Crucially, unlike conventional samplers, our PC methods continue to improve with more sampling steps. Taken together, these findings call into question the assumption that Masked diffusion is the inevitable future of diffusion-based language modeling. Beyond sampling, we develop a memory-efficient curriculum for the Gaussian relaxation training phase, reducing training time by 25% and memory by 33% compared to Duo while maintaining comparable perplexity on OpenWebText and LM1B and strong downstream performance. We release code, checkpoints, and a video-tutorial on: https://s-sahoo.com/duo-ch2
