Sorry, but the AI is just as “biased” as its training data is. You cannot have something with a consistent representation of reality that they would consider unbiased.
That’s what they’ve been trying to do, just not in the way you want it
He means they must insert ideological bias on his behalf.
Not necessarily, they train models on real world data, often of what people believe to be true, not what works, and those models are not yet able to perform experiments, register results and learn from them (what even a child does, even a dumb one), and real world is cruel, bigotry is not even the worst part of it, neither are anti-scientific beliefs. But unlike these models, the real world has more entropy.
If you’ve seen Babylon V, the philosophy difference between Vorlons and Shadows was somewhere near this.
One can say in philosophy blockchain is a Vorlon technology and LLMs are a Shadow technology (it’s funny, because technically it would be the other way around, one is kinda grassroots and the other is done by few groups with humongous amounts of data and computing resources), but ultimately they are both attempts to compensate what they see as wrong in the real world. Introducing new wrongs in their blind zones.
(In some sense the reversal of alignment of Vorlons and Shadows, between philosophy and implementation, is right - you hide in technical traits of your tooling that which you can’t keep in your philosophy ; so “you’ll think what we tell you to think” works for Vorlons (or Democrats), but Republicans have to hide that inside tooling and mechanisms they prefer, while “power makes power” is something Democrats can’t just say, but can hide inside tooling they prefer or at least don’t fight too much. That’s why cryptocurrencies’ popularity came in one side’s ideological dominance time, and “AIs” in the others’. Maybe this is a word salad.)
So, what I meant, - the degeneracy of such tools is the bias in his favor, there’s no need for anything else.
I can’t believe you worked a B5 ref into a discussion, much less operational differences between Vorlon and Shadow.
Major difference even in the analogy is that Shadows actively and destructively sought control and withheld info whereas Vorlons manipulated by parceling out cryptic messages.
Anyway, yeah… the internet is completely fucked up and full of stupidity, malice, and casual cruelty. Many of us filter it by simply avoiding it by chance (it’s not what we look for) or actively filter it (blocking communities, sites, media, etc.), so we don’t see the shitholes of the internet and the hordes of trolls and wingnuts that are the denizens of these spaces.
Removing filters from LLMs and training them on shitholes will have the expected result.

I’m technically not interested in any other kinds of discussions, but even explaining what this particular kind is takes work even from the closest people to me, so - compromises are to be made, weird posts are to be typed and sent.

That’s the “planted gods for the lesser races”, “taught Minbari hyperspace travel”, “sent that Inquisitor guy with nice former hobbies” kind of Vorlons, right? Very cryptic.

I’m glad we don’t disagree.
While I do prefer absolute free speech for individuals, I have no illusions about what Trump is saying behind closed doors: “Make it like me, and everything that I do.” I don’t want an government to decide for me and others what is right.
Also, science, at least the peer reviewed stuff, should be considered free of bias. Real world mechanics, be it physics or biology, can’t be considered biased. We need science, because it makes life better. A false science, such as phrenology or RFK’s la-la-land ravings, needs to be discarded because it doesn’t help anyone. Not even the believers.
Reality has a liberal bias.
Historically liberals have always been right and eventually won.
Got rid of slavery. Got women’s rights. Got Gay rights. Etc.
Lol. Ok, I’ve never heard this take, but everyone perceives history based on what they have learned.
Also, it was the left that didn’t want to abolish slavery or give women rights.

I simply cannot imagine how anyone could be so stupid that they’d read or hear this and repeat it without looking into if it’s true or not (it’s not), yet there are so many idiots, typically Americans, just as stupid or possibly stupider than you on the internet spouting obvious propaganda that this level of idiocy must be pretty common in the States.
Ah, it’s makes sense, you’re a forienger. You get grace.
Science is not about government, or right and left, or free speech. It’s just science. It’s about individuals spending their lives studying a specific subject. Politicians who know nothing about those subjects should have no say. I shudder to think what might have happened during the polio outbreak under today’s U.S politicians.
Edit: In support of your comment.
I’d say science is about finding truth by rejecting untruths.
A fundamental question is whether there is such a thing as objective truth. I’d argue yes. Magas would probably say no (at least I know one who gave that answer). To them there’s only your version of reality vs theirs.
That’s why they invent and choose to believe untruths, because they believe they can invent truth rather than find it.
Politicians who know nothing about those subjects should have no say.
Some ethical guidelines are very important though. We usually don’t want to conduct potentially deadly experiments on humans for example.
I wish more people realised this. Well said comrade.
Literally 1984.
This is a textbook example of newspeak / doublethink, exactly how they use the word “corruption” to mean different things based on who it’s being applied to.
Doublethink, but yeah you’re right
Newspeak and doublethink at the same time, ackshually, but I think everybody gets what you both mean.
Corrected !
I only read 1984 once in French 11 years ago, so it’s a little fuzzy 😆
It’s like 1984 at hyper speed
Facts. They mean the factual portions of the models.
Le Chat by Mistral is a France-based (and EU abiding) alternative to ChatGPT. Works fine for me so far.
I’ve been an enthusiastic adopter of Generative AI in my coding work; and know that Claude 3.7 is the greatest coding model out there right now (at least for my niche).
That said, at some point you have to choose principles over convenience; so I’ve cancelled all my US Tech service accounts - now exclusively using ‘Le Chat Pro’ (+ sometimes local LLM’s).
Honestly, it’s not quite as good, but it’s not half bad either, and it is very very fast thanks to some nifty hardware acceleration that the others lack.
I still get my work done, and sleep better at night.
The more subscriptions Mistral get, the more they’re able to compete with the US offerings.
Anyone can do this.

That’s true. I’m still on free. How much for the Pro?
$14 USD/mo… Ironically
Personally, I find that for (local AI), the recently released 111b Command-A is pretty good. It actually grasps the concepts of the dice odds that I set up for a D&D-esque JRPG style. Still too slow on mere gamer hardware (DDR4 128gb + RX 4090) to be practical, but still an impressive improvement.
Sadly, Cohere is located in the US. On the other paw, they operate in California and New York from my brief check. This is good, that means it less likely for them to obey Trump’s stupidity.
Oh yeah, local is a different story. I’d probably look into something like what you mentioned if I had the hardware, but atm I’m more interested in finding 1-1 alternatives to these tech behemoths, ones that anyone can use with the same level of convenience.
So, models may only be trained on sufficiently bigoted data sets?
This is why Musk wants to buy OpenAI. He wants biased answers, skewed towards capitalism and authoritarianism, presented as being “scientifically unbiased”. I had a long convo with ChatGPT about rules to limit CEO pay. If Musk had his way I’m sure the model would insist, “This is a very atypical and harmful line of thinking. Limiting CEO pay limits their potential and by extension the earnings of the company. No earnings means no employees.”
Same reason they hate wikipedia.
Didn’t the AI that Musk currently owns say there was like an 86% chance Trump was a Russian asset? You’d think the guy would be smart enough to try to train the one he has access to and see if it’s possible before investing another $200 billion in something. But then again, who would even finance that for him now? He’d have to find a really dumb bank or a foreign entity that would fund it to help destroy the U.S.
How did your last venture go? Well the thing I bought is worth about 20% of what I bought it for… Oh uh… Yeah not sure we want to invest in that.
Assuming he didn’t expressly buy twitter to dismantle it as a credible outlet for whistleblowers while also crowding out leftist voices.
Is that why the Saudis bought in? Or was that just so they could help expand their sports tournaments on Trump’s properties?
Probably a bit of both. The Sauds want post oil influince and oligarchs like seeing the poors focused on entertainment.
He was force to buy twitter…
And the Saudis were forced to give him money for it, right?
it’s that he likes chatgpt better than grok. he’ll still tweak chatgpt once he has access to it to make it worse, but at the core of what he wants is to own chatgpt and rename it grok
Or somehow fuse the two together, because Neuromancer…
i’m sure in his addled brain, this is one of the possible plans
Yes, as is already happening with police crime prediction AI. In goes data that says there is more violence in black areas, so they have a reason to police those areas more, tension rises and more violence happens. In the end it’s an advanced excuse to harass the people there.
Lmfao yeah, right bud. Totally how that works. More police = more crime, because… ‘tensions’.
This sanctimonius bullshit excuse making is why a 100% objective AI model would destroy leftism: it’s not rooted in reality.
Don’t you think science have a “globe” bias, or an “evolution” bias? Maybe even a “germ theory” bias?
The American police were invented to capture black folks and to guard the elite’s interests, not to safeguard the things that make civilization worth having.
I don’t think it’s more crime because more tension. It’s instead a self fulfilling prophecy. Who do you think detects and records crime if not the police? Therefore more police in a area increases the number of crime data points in that area.
reality has a left bias, becausr it the vetter option - the bias comes from the fact many people are not ass wholes.
Trump doing this shit reminds me of when the Germans demanded all research on physics, relativity, and thankfully the atomic bomb, stop because they were “Jewish Pseudoscience” in Hitler’s eyes
trump also complimented thier nazis recently, how he wish he had his “generals”
Considering they thought he was crazy and refused his orders, I kinda wish he had them to.
It is good(?) that he released capable workers from federal service…so that they can serve someplace more democratic. The more that Yarvin’s Cabal undercut their own competency and reinforces the good guys, the better it is for the free world.
Well the rest of the world can take the lead in scientific r&d now that the US has not only declared itself failed culturally but politically and are attacking scientific institutions and funding directly (NIH, universities, etc).
“Sir, that’s impossible.”
“JUST DO IT!”
It’s almost like reality has a liberal bias. 🙃
Any meaningful suppression or removal of ideological bias is an ideological bias.
I propose a necessary precursor to the development of artificial intelligence is the discovery and identification of a natural instance.
A natural instance is ideologically biased aswell.
Grok is still woke!!!
Yup, and always will be, because the antiwoke worldview is so delusional that it calls empirical reality “woke”. Thus, an AI that responds truthfully will always be woke.
It’s going to go full circle and start spitting out pictures of a Black George Washington again…
When I saw the show Hamilton, George Washington was black, not sure if that’s always the case. It was a really good show.
Original Broadway casting is a black man so that makes sense.
When I saw it live they cast an Asian man as Washington and he was also quite good for the role so I’d wager it depends on the production.
