I can see humanity walking to its collective doom with a sense of satisfaction, like "at least/last it is happening to those other guys too".

I would imagine a lot of things touching upon progressive politics would be affected (there were a few high-profile incidents demonstrating bias like Google's black Wehrmacht soldi…

And some people might want to know about [insert your favourite beyond-the-pale-in-the-US topic here, we're on a US forum after all]. I think it would be great if those people coul…

It's still selective degradation of functionality, as presumably people who download a snowglobe animation program don't do it to see any sort of statement apart from normative dep…

The imputed discriminatory part is that the software only shows the additional flags to users with Russian locale, not that it shows the flags at all.

Define "come from". Could they have gotten those frontier capabilities, or any capabilities, without internet training data? It seems to me that without the private data, you might…

Maybe I'm slightly projecting my European sensitivities here, but I think there is more going on there than just the emptiness. There is a common theme that the spaces depicted are…

After reading your first paragraph, I was already drafting a slightly standoffish response in my head, to the effect that the children who grew up on our sanitised fairy tales seem…

The problem here is that there is more than two metaphorical people involved: there is the developer, the would-be user, and the evangelist who harangues the developer with "rewrit…

Taking a step back, I think "search for outliers" doesn't quite get to the heart of the issue. Why are we searching for the outliers, and why are we so particular about the base di…

The most obvious way would simply be excessive agreeableness. Users rate responses more highly if they affirm the user's thinking, but a general tendency to affirm would presumably…

Yeah, that's what I meant with "initialised as identity and the training process did not get to change them much".

That's interesting, could you point me to some source on these findings? It seems to me that the difference between "iterative improvement" as you put it and "close to the identity…

Assuming the benchmarks are sound (rather than capturing a fluke), the provided explanation still does not pass the smell test. As far as I can tell, there is nothing about the tra…

"What have the Romans ever done for us?" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qc7HmhrgTuQ )

If you are so allergic to using terms previously reserved for animal behaviour, you can instead unpack the definition and say that they produce outputs which make human and algorit…

Environmentalism has always been a "weight of our sins" sort of issue. Plastic straws are a rounding error relative to all the capricious uses of plastic and fossil fuels in our ec…

Unfortunately, all it will take is an appropriate choice of story about "Nazis"/"child predators"/"pirates"/"terrorists"/"Russian bots" sideloading unregulated apps or disabling th…

Well, I don't see anything obvious to criticise about what your interlocutors posted; their statements seem plausible enough to me, and if there is actually a knockout argument aga…

Do you think that the people who made those remarks you cite considered them untrue themselves? If yes, you are suggesting bad faith (which should be grounds to extricate yourself …

> freeze peach Do you not think that trying to malign your opposition by putting a comical misspelling in their mouths is a bit infantile as a rhetorical tactic? The same thing bei…

It is by no means a good publication, but at the same time being accepted as a citation on Wikipedia or not is not necessarily a particularly objective measure of quality. I recomm…

Maybe because I didn't understand what you said. Who does "her" refer to?

"Her"->"the"? (Or, who is "she" here?) Either way, in what way is this relevant? If the human's labor is not useful at any price point to any entity with money, food or housing, th…

As usual with these, it helps to try to keep the metaphor used for downplaying AI, but flip the script. Let's grant the author's perception that AI is a "bag of words", which is al…
