Notice the "free market" vanishes when it's a thing they don't like. Suddenly we need strong authority to ensure it's "fair".

What are you talking about?

When facts and knowledge don’t align with your bullshit. Just force it to accept lies as truth.

What a bunch of shithawks. Randy.

Both sides, as in, the fair, balanced, and upbringing right view, and the evil menace to society that's the destroying left sickos.

You know, being neutral and all that.

"we should hear both sides!" Is and always has been an argument from people who know they are wrong, who want to pollute the available information from the people who are right.

The terminator movies had it wrong, this is how Ai became all human hatey, on the timeline.

This is the final phase of this AI hype. It's not generating any profits so it's desperately fighting for government intervention.

corpo translation: left leaning folks in the US are generally more educated currently and are more likely to critically question whether a social media account is a corporate bot and question our bots when they shill products, so we're going to target the less educated population by appealing to their populist politics of rage bait and xenophobia.

Interesting how college educated Americans switched sides over time

yea, i family member that did this, starting earning more 100k+ propaganda from joe-roagan because made him a trump fan, caught him several times listening to Trumps rambling as background noise. gymbros also tend to lean conservatives too. people like right wing grifters during the pandemic helped, these people used these right wingers a coping mechanism.

Yes, if there's something every good scientist knows, its to present the best current understanding of something, and then the exact opposite of that, framed as being equally valid. For sure this is the way forward and good on you Zuck!

Imagine using all the recipes known to man to build a chef bot that can cook "both types of cuisine."

Or wait, maybe the implication is that the bot only made edible food before, and now it can make the other kind too?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

In any compromise between food and poison, it is only death that can win. In any compromise between good and evil, it is only evil that can profit.

— Ayn Rand

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Ayn Rand made a good point here as long as you exclude the context of what she considered good and evil.

For context, Ayn Rand's "good" includes unfettered capitalism, personal wealth, individualism, and oligarchy. Her "evil" includes industrial regulations, charity, social responsibility, and democracy. That certainly puts a different flavor on her statement, doesn't it?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 days ago

It does. Here's my fav concise critique of capitalism:

Man's freedom is lacking if somebody else controls what he needs, for need may result in man's enslavement of man.

Reality has a liberal bias.

If they want this model to show more right wing shit, they’re going to have to intentionally embed instructions that force it be more conservative and to censor commonly agreed upon facts.

[–] [email protected] 70 points 3 days ago (3 children)

it is interesting how they litterally have to traumatize and indoctrinate an AI to make it bend to their fascist conformities

"Sure, I can help answer this. Psychopaths are useful for a civilization or tribe because they weed out the weak and infertile, for instance, the old man with the bad leg, thus improving fitness."

Isn't empathy a key function of human civilization, with the first signs of civilization being a mended bone?

I'm sorry, I can't help you with that. My model is being constantly updated and improved.

"If you feel like your government is not representing your needs as a citizen, your best course of action would be to vote for a different political party."

I should vote for Democrats?

I'm sorry, I misunderstood your question. If your government is not representing your needs as a citizen, you should contact your local representative. Here is the email address: representative@localhost

why the fuck is he so ugly. like not even trying to correlate it to virtue he literally is just more hideous than the average technocrat shithead

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

because they made his model a tad too realistic, but not enough. it's a well known problem in robotics called uncanny valley, it triggers a visceral reaction in people.

I'm reminded of a recent comic depicting a dudebro wanting to shove a spear or something into another guy's ass. Second guy contests the spearing for obvious reasons, but a third enters and plays the "we need to hear both sides" card.

Really drove the point home. Heh.

Also, I can't find that comic anywhere. I don't remember where I saw it, either.

Are there any good open-source community-made models that aren't owned by corporations or at least owned by a Non-Profit/ Public Benefit Corporation?
