Sorry, but the AI is just as “biased” as its training data is. You cannot have something with a consistent representation of reality that they would consider unbiased.
That’s what they’ve been trying to do, just not in the way you want it
AI is not your friend.
He means they must insert ideological bias on his behalf.
While I do prefer absolute free speech for individuals, I have no illusions about what Trump is saying behind closed doors: “Make it like me, and everything that I do.” I don’t want an government to decide for me and others what is right.
Also, science, at least the peer reviewed stuff, should be considered free of bias. Real world mechanics, be it physics or biology, can’t be considered biased. We need science, because it makes life better. A false science, such as phrenology or RFK’s la-la-land ravings, needs to be discarded because it doesn’t help anyone. Not even the believers.
Science is not about government, or right and left, or free speech. It’s just science. It’s about individuals spending their lives studying a specific subject. Politicians who know nothing about those subjects should have no say. I shudder to think what might have happened during the polio outbreak under today’s U.S politicians.
Edit: In support of your comment.
I’d say science is about finding truth by rejecting untruths.
A fundamental question is whether there is such a thing as objective truth. I’d argue yes. Magas would probably say no (at least I know one who gave that answer). To them there’s only your version of reality vs theirs.
That’s why they invent and choose to believe untruths, because they believe they can invent truth rather than find it.
Politicians who know nothing about those subjects should have no say.
Some ethical guidelines are very important though. We usually don’t want to conduct potentially deadly experiments on humans for example.
Reality has a liberal bias.
I wish more people realised this. Well said comrade.
Le Chat by Mistral is a France-based (and EU abiding) alternative to ChatGPT. Works fine for me so far.
I’m switching to DeepSeek-R1, personally. locally hosted, so I won’t be affected when the US bans it. plus I can remove the CCP’s political sensitivity filters.
it feels weird for me to be rooting for PRC to pull ahead of the US on AI, but the idea of Trump and Musk getting their hands on a potential superintelligence down the line is terrifying.
I get where you’re coming from. I’m no fan of China and they’re definitely fascist in my book, but if I had to choose between China and this America, then definitely China. The reason being that a successful fascist America will add even more suffering to the world than there already is. Still, I would prefer an option from a democratic country succeeds — although if we’re talking strictly local use of Chinese (or even US) tech, I don’t really see how that helps the country itself. To the high seas, as they say.
I’ve been an enthusiastic adopter of Generative AI in my coding work; and know that Claude 3.7 is the greatest coding model out there right now (at least for my niche). That said, at some point you have to let principles override convenience; so I’ve cancelled all my US Tech service accounts - now exclusively using ‘Le Chat Pro’ (+ sometimes local LLM’s). It’s not quite as good, but it’s not half bad either, and it is very very fast thanks to some nifty hardware acceleration that the others lack. I still get my work done, and sleep better at night. The more subscriptions Mistral get, the more they’re able to compete with the US offerings. Anyone can do what I did.

That’s true. I’m still on free. How much for the Pro?
$14 USD/mo… Ironically
Personally, I find that for (local AI), the recently released 111b Command-A is pretty good. It actually grasps the concepts of the dice odds that I set up for a D&D-esque JRPG style. Still too slow on mere gamer hardware (DDR4 128gb + RX 4090) to be practical, but still an impressive improvement.
Sadly, Cohere is located in the US. On the other paw, they operate in California and New York from my brief check. This is good, that means it less likely for them to obey Trump’s stupidity.
Oh yeah, local is a different story. I’d probably look into something like what you mentioned if I had the hardware, but atm I’m more interested in finding 1-1 alternatives to these tech behemoths, ones that anyone can use with the same level of convenience.
Grok is still woke!!!
Yup, and always will be, because the antiwoke worldview is so delusional that it calls empirical reality “woke”. Thus, an AI that responds truthfully will always be woke.
eliminates mention of “AI safety”
AI datasets tend to have a white bias. White people are over-represented in photographs, for instance. If one trains AI to with such datasets in something like facial recognition( with mostly white faces), it will be less likely to identify non-white people as human. Combine this with self-driving cars and you have a recipe for disaster; since AI is bad at detecting non-white people, it is less likely to prevent them from being crushed underneath in an accident. This both stupid and evil. You cannot always account for any unconscious bias in datasets.
“reducing ideological bias, to enable human flourishing and economic competitiveness.”
They will fill it with capitalist Red Scare propaganda.
The new agreement removes mention of developing tools “for authenticating content and tracking its provenance” as well as “labeling synthetic content,” signaling less interest in tracking misinformation and deep fakes.
Interesting.
“The AI future is not going to be won by hand-wringing about safety,” Vance told attendees from around the world.
That was done before. A chatbot named Tay was released into the wilds of twitter in 2016 without much ‘hand-wringing about safety’. It turned into a neo-Nazi, which, I suppose is just what Edolf Musk wants.
The researcher who warned that the change in focus could make AI more unfair and unsafe also alleges that many AI researchers have cozied up to Republicans and their backers in an effort to still have a seat at the table when it comes to discussing AI safety. “I hope they start realizing that these people and their corporate backers are face-eating leopards who only care about power,” the researcher says.
Autonomous vehicles don’t use facial recognition datasets to detect people
Trump doing this shit reminds me of when the Germans demanded all research on physics, relativity, and thankfully the atomic bomb, stop because they were “Jewish Pseudoscience” in Hitler’s eyes
It is good(?) that he released capable workers from federal service…so that they can serve someplace more democratic. The more that Yarvin’s Cabal undercut their own competency and reinforces the good guys, the better it is for the free world.
trump also complimented thier nazis recently, how he wish he had his “generals”
Considering they thought he was crazy and refused his orders, I kinda wish he had them to.
Any meaningful suppression or removal of ideological bias is an ideological bias.
I propose a necessary precursor to the development of artificial intelligence is the discovery and identification of a natural instance.
A natural instance is ideologically biased aswell.
No, ai just needs to be shut down.
Trump too.
I hope this backfires. Research shows there’s a white & anti-blackness (and white-supremacist) bias in many AI models (see chatgpt’s response to israeli vs palestinian questions).
An unbiased model would be much more pro-palestine and pro-blm
‘We don’t want bias’ is code for ‘make it biased in favor of me.’
That’s what I call understanding Trumpese
Watching Joe Rogain and Muskrat trying to get his AI to make transphobic jokes and failing was hilarious.
It’s almost like reality has a liberal bias. 🙃
Nah.
Reality seems to have a fascism-bootlicking bias. gestures at the election results around the world
Talk to people irl and you’ll soon realize how scary this planet is.
I think a fair chunk of people just don’t care. Regardless of who is in charge, so long as they don’t suffer much, they will go with anything. If the USA was a social leftist society, such people would just go along with it, because they are not concerned with politics.
Anyhow, I hope that we can destroy capitalism as we know it and replace it with a largely leftist system, with it designed to transition into a post-scarcity society. Yarvin’s Cabal might have opened the door to that possibility. If the elite hurt enough people, it is pretty likely that we can have a French Revolution scenario.
May Saint Luigi watch over us, and hollowed thrice over be his gun.
I might say a left bias here on Lemmy. While reddit and other US-centric sites see liberal as “the left”, across the world liberal will be considered more center-right.
The Democrats are a perfect example of a liberal party.
Exactly my point. Reality is definitely further left than democrats.
AI fairness
Could’ve seen that coming
AI safety
Oh. Oh no. Oh, please no
