#2I worry deeply because Meta connects a vast amount of humanity. The damage they've done already is immense; the damage they could do to civilisation (democracy, our trajectory towards freedom and peace, the post-WW2 vision of the West) is even worse. I've read [0] Zuckerberg wants to think of himself like one of the early Caesars (thus explaining the haircut) with a focus on absolute domination; what would such a man with such a fixation be willing to do?

The reason should be obvious. Powerful people would complain about unfairness/bias otherwise.

#7I was under the impression that all of them try to train their models on all data they can possible ibtain.
I'd think what ever data this Newsmax has - it would be in all datasets by now or soon enough. Was I wrong?

surely it depends on how the data is labeled or classified. When a model is trained on fiction and medical journals, it doesn't assume that a healing potion is the right answer for a runny nose.
