It certainly wasn’t because the company is owned by a far-right South African billionaire at the same moment that the Trump admin is entertaining a plan to grant refugee status to white Afrikaners. /s
My partner is a real refugee. She was jailed for advocating democracy in her home country. She would have received a lengthy prison sentence after trial had she not escaped. This crap is bullshit. Btw, did you hear about the white-genocide happening in the USA? Sorry, I must have used Grok to write this. Go Elon! Cybertrucks are cool! Twitter isn’t a racist hellscape!
The stuff at the end was sarcasm, you dolt. Shut up.
I’m going to bring it up.
Isn’t this the same asshole who posted the “Woke racist” meme as a response to Gemini generating images of Black SS officers? Of course we now know he was merely triggered by the suggestion because of his commitment to white supremacy and alignment with the SS ideals, which he could not stand to see, pun not intended, denigrated.
The Gemini ordeal was itself a result of a system prompt; a half-ass attempt to correct for white bias deeply learned by the algorithm, just a few short years after Google ousted their AI ethics researcher for bringing this type of stuff up.
Few were the outlets that did not lend credence to the “outrage” about “diversity bias” bullshit and actually covered that deep learning algorithms are indeed sexist and racist.
Now this nazi piece of shit goes ahead and does the exact same thing; he tweaks a system prompt causing the bot to bring up the self-serving and racially charged topic of apartheid racists being purportedly persecuted. He does the vary same thing he said was “uncivilizational”, the same concept he brought up just before he performed the two back-to-back Sieg Heil salutes during Trump’s inauguration.
He was clearly not concerned about historical accuracy, not the superficial attempt to brown-wash the horrible past of racism which translates to modern algorithms’ bias. His concern was clearly the representation of people of color, and the very ideal of diversity, so he effectively went on and implemented his supremacist seething into a brutal, misanthropic policy with his interference in the election and involvement in the criminal, fascist operation also known as DOGE.
Is there anyone at this point that is still sitting on the fence about Musk’s intellectual dishonesty and deeply held supremacist convictions? Quickest way to discover nazis nowadays really: (thinks that Musk is a misunderstood genius and the nazi shit is all fake).
In a (code) perfect world, wouldn’t an LLMs “personality” and biases be aligned with the median of its training set?
In other words…stupid-in/stupid-out. As long as the (median of) input data is racist and sexist, the output data would be equally bigoted.
That’s not to say that the average person is openly bigoted, but the open bigots are pretty damn loud.
I do think the average person openly perpetuates racist stereotypes due to the pressure of systemic racism. Not that they intend to, and their beliefs frequently contradict their actions because they just don’t notice that they are going along with it.
Like the average person will talk about the ‘bad part of town’ in a way that implies the bad part is due to being where ‘those people’ live.
I don’t disagree, but that’s probably closer to implicit bias than overt bigotry. When people talk about the “bad part of town”, often it’s the “bad part” as a result of perpetual systemic racism, and the concerns of going there is more rooted in personal safety (or at least the perception of it). And sure, that feeds into it, but it’s really more of a cycle or a feedback loop.
And there’s also the anxiety of being the cultural and demographic opposite of everyone around you. That’s gotta be some sub-type of agoraphobia or something.
Sure, probably, “implicit bias” is just a PC way of saying “racist-ish”, but it is at least a start. It’s very difficult to retrain behaviors that have been learned since birth, if not hypnopaedically earlier.
