Yes! Remember Microsoft's chatbot Tay from 2016 that went super racist and forced MS to pull the plug? https://money.cnn.com/2016/03/24/technology/tay-racist-micro... Edit: A high-comment HN thread about the pulling: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11362187
Microsoft chatbot is taught to swear on Twitter 263 points; 228 comments https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11352307 Tay – Microsoft A.I. chatbot 154 points; 130 comments https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11346147 Can also go digging with this search range - https://hn.algolia.com/?dateEnd=1459468800&dateRange=custom&...
Right, I searched the Tay stories that way. I saw the second one but didn't link it because I was looking for stories from the aftermath, not the introduction. I missed the first one because the title didn't have Tay.
Most of the stories from your search don't fit either -- either referring to something else, or not having many HN comments (as I said I was looking for pre-edit).
The problem wasn't being unaware of the search feature.

#93As many people here noticed, the bit has actually nothing to do with transphobia, or gay, but it's about a comedian bombing a show with horrible jokes. What's interesting in this case, is that there can be no "background check". Or "this guy has actually had weird quotes in the past, he's very suspicious". Or "he has republican friends"... All the regular strategy activist use to demolish a public figure over a prete…

A while ago. Going against the party line of the week -- you are liable to get cancelled. See: Dave Chapelle being called a white supremacist nazi transphobe for his set.
Chapelle is rolling in Netflix money and won a Grammy last night. By what metric is he "cancelled" other than "some people called him bad names"?
So, what you're telling me, is that millionaires get to make transphobic jokes all they want, because they are immune to cancellation because of their bank account.
Fun.

#96So comedy cannot be offensive anymore? When did that happen?
Comedians got together and made a documentary about the modern American society's intolerance to things that might offend in 2015, so I'd wager if we're trying to carbon date it it's at least sometime before that.
It seems to have accelerated since then though

Comedy cannot be offensive to trans people on Twitch, specifically!
Here's the part where I rhetorically taunt with my weaponization of the virtue of free enterprise:
"You have a right to free speech, but I have a right to decide what I allow on my platform!"
Yeah, I don't entirely believe that either. I see the weasel here and so do you.
So I have a right to disregard the value of free speech. But is that really what we want?

~12 years ago. RIP satire

#99This was honestly the funniest content, the most laughs I'd had in years. This ban is truly disheartening to me.

#100Explanation from their Discord (more info/links below) “Earlier tonight, we started having an outage using OpenAI’s GPT-3 Davinci model, which caused the show to exhibit errant behaviors (you may have seen empty rooms cycling through). OpenAI has a less sophisticated model, Curie, that was the predecessor to Davinci. When davinci started failing, we switched over to Curie to try to keep the show running without any d…
A seemingly innocuous engineering change led to some drastic consequences. Imagine the other more critical production applications who have made the same reasonable engineering decision.
I challenge your interpretation of a joke generator making a joke as "drastic consequences." Twitch has arcane rules about what can be streamed. As a streamer you have to tip-toe around topics (or jokes) regarding specific protected classes. This is a matter of arbitrary lines in the sand.
