> The 1D thing is an obvious over-simplification In general I agree, but in recent history it works pretty well if the dimension you use is Trump rather than left/right (assuming you are in the US). He is the most polarizing leader I have seen in the US in my lifetime, and knowing whether someone is a supporter is pretty good at predicting the rest of their viewpoints.

If instead of "is a supporter" you'd said "agrees with Trump's positions", then even Trump himself might not correlate very well :-). I don't see Trump as a very useful proxy for nuanced political viewpoints since he's a populist who tends to change positions. I think many serious conservatives only align with…

I don’t agree with Trump on most things, but my beliefs also definitely don’t agree with most people who hate Trump.

You probably won't read this, because I didn't get back to looking at this thread for several days, but I'll leave this here on the off chance you do.

I see far more predictive value in supporting Trump than opposing him. Lots of people oppose him for a variety of reasons. But people who are still fully on board at this point have had to take a number of twists in their ideological viewpoints in stride. Their ideology is clearly not something objective, it has a focus on a moving target. Informative, but not in any kind of vanilla left/right debate.

Man I need to start using Grok more

Grok and its creator are unequivocally evil. Against protection of all but capital for the sake of enabling the oligarch class to further consolidate power ans abuse the working class.

What an opinionated take

How could a prompt create a bias in a model that implements AI bias safeguards that are the systemic, technical, and governance controls used to prevent algorithms from producing discriminatory, unfair, or stereotypical outcomes. I've never in the 3+ years I've been using AI been able to craft a prompt to influence a bias output. Its all about the ingested dataset and guardrails. The "prompt" is meant to extract data…

Definitely captures the US since the whole trump thing

It was true on US campuses before that too. Wokeness really jumped the shark.

Nah, being woke was always good, since the beginning: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wide_Awakes

People would be embarrassed to say they were anti-woke 20 years ago, it's a shame what has happened to the US

I haven't encountered a chatbot yet that is willing to recognize DJT as a fascist. You can get them to acknowledge how perfectly aligned he is with fascist ideals and actions, somehow the jury is always out. That tells me a lot.

All the chatbots refused to confirm your political bias. Seems like a win to me

So he's apolitical, and nobody's "bias" is correct?
