I hate seeing Altmans jerkoff face in my feed. I think I gotta block this community

Are we really just accelerating to full on dystopia at this point?

Didn't you as a country sacrifice thousands of childre just so you could keep your guns for this exact moment?

Ah, gotcha.

...you're joking, right? Electing the convicted rapist, convicted fraudster, racist, sexist, wannabe dictator that literally tried to lead a coup four years ago didn't tip you off?

There goes all of what remains of their integrity.

It just proves further and further that AI by itself is not a bad thing. It's the intent that man pours into it, that makes it a bad thing.

Whatever man touches, turns to rigor mortis.

There's no such thing as politically unbiased AI. Apolitical AI was always a pie in the sky.

It was stupid to have that in there in the first place given that an absence of politics/political bias is impossible.

Just for one thing: the politics of the LLM’s training data will be reflected in the output. And the vast majority of the English-language corpus available will reflect Western, imperial core liberal politics. They’re pro-capitalist, pro-imperialist, anti-socialist, Western chauvinist politics.

Oh, I'm sure that isn't going to be a problem for their goals. They can always overrepresent training data from 2016-2020 and 2024-2028 to add some balance to the model's political compass. /s
