"I'm sorry, Dave! You're too young for that code!". Somebody really needs to reset and reboot our reality from a healthy snapshot.

Would that be pre-industrial revolution or pre-agricultural revolution?

Pre-groupthink cartels.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I believe this case it is more "damned if they do" as even OpenAI's woke and security department has not gone this retarded. Sundar is going to have a new task to deal with the press that mocks Gemini, and soon the next new task to keep explaining why this keeps happening to Google's shareholders.

OpenAI absolutely has: here it is, doing the exact same thing as Gemini [^1] People are looking at a bad LLM, coupled to an image generator that adheres to prompts better than Dall-E 3, with an industry-best-practice for bias: image prompt injector, just like OpenAI. It is confusing to tease it all out if you're an armchair QB with opinions on AI and politics (read: literally all of us), and from people who can't sep…

It's hard to be mad at this because everyone trying to make a general purpose AI generator realized the "it only generates white people" problem and the training data is likely too far gone to fix it from the ground up. And so they (DALL-E) made a compromise to inject a diverse set of races into people's prompts and accept that it will be silly in cases where the prompt implies a race without explicitly saying it because the prompts most are using aren't historical photos of the revolutionary war.

Like they can't win, they could try to blame the training data and throw their hands up but there's already plenty of examples of the AI reflecting racism that it would just add to the pile. It's the curse of being a big visible player in the space, StabilityAI doesn't have the same problem because they aren't facing much pressure to fix it.

Honestly I think one of the best things for the industry would be a law that flips the burden from the AI vendor to the AI user -- "AI is a reflection of humanity including and especially our faults and the highest performing AI's for useful work are those that don't seek to mitigate those faults. Therefore if you use AI in your products it's up to you to take care that those faults don't bleed through."

Anyone familiar with C++ willing to speculate what about the language feature (or things people have written about it) that may have triggered the safety guardrails? Something like a blog post cheekily titled "C++ concepts: adult supervision required"?

I would guess a lot of SO comments probably say that concepts (a template/metaprogramming feature) are "dangerous" or "unsafe." It probably makes the connection with actually dangerous and unsafe things (like guns or drugs or whatever), so it sticks'em in the same bucket. Bingo: https://imgur.com/a/einQ1mG

C# maybe the same? It also has an "unsafe" keyword.

i imagine there is a lot of "footgun", "blow your foot off", "unsafe", "bug", "leak", "this is irresponsible", "who the fuck wrote this" and so on in a lot of c++ code bases...

Right, I was thinking that Gemini was deriving as much information from the comments as from the code. And I could definitely see where the danger warnings would come from in a mature C++ codebase, especially one in which lots of different hands have been in the pot.

Mixed metaphors aside, does a C++ codebase need to be over 18 years old to be considered mature?

Just to have a chance of other outcomes by randomness. If it proofs that it isn't enough, then mark a limit in time and reboot automatically from then on.
