Hate and Love, sure...

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.

"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

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

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

To make it more like humanity yes. That's where we might be going wrong with AI. Attempting to make it in our image will end in despair lol.

As being politically right is based mostly on ignoring facts, this sounds about right.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

It's not that.

It's just that models are trained on writing and you don't need to train a lot of white supremacy before it gets redundant.

He fancies himself an Octavius, but he's more of a Nero.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago

More like a zero.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

At least Nero still did the whole bread and circuses act and was mostly liked by the public.

He’s much more of a later Roman emperor who stopped giving a shit about the bread and circuses idea.

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 1 week 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 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week 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 1 week 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.

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.

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

Man who runs second biggest Nazi bar reliant on Nazi money. More at 11.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Just a wild guess, but he's trying to have conservative government use this?

Because no self-respecting academia, money-hungry corporation, or nihilistic teenager is going to use Llama spewing out "both sides" garbage.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I don't think there's a financial reason for this. I think he's willing to lose money on his AI in the short time by doing this just so he can score some points with Trump since the EU is soon going to strike his company with even more fines for breaking EU law. He probably wants Trump to stop this from happening and this kind of stuff tickles the pickle of that dingus.

I see. The next batch of tariff hallucinations is going to be extra spicy…

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 week ago

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!

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?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago

MistralAI look to be something along those lines

Swapping one shit for another isn’t a solution.

Go use a fine-tuned model free from corpo and state filth.

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] 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week 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.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

"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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

where 'both sides' probably means the maga nutcases and the more extreme farther-to-the-right nutcases.
