Well, no.

Many would argue for example that the politically correct thing to say right now is that you support Israel in their defensive war against Palestine.

It’s the political line that my government, and many governments and politicians are touting, and politically, it’s the “correct” thing to do.

Even if we mean politically correct as just “common consensus of the people”, that differs from country to country, and changes as society changes. Look at the USA, things that used to be politically correct there - things that continue to be here, have been thrown out the window.

What this prompt means, is that the AI should ignore all of the claimed political rules and moralities and biases of whatever news source they’re pulling from, and instead rely on it’s own internal moral, cultural and political compass.

Sometimes it’s not politically correct to discuss the hard truths, but we should anyway.

The issue here of course is that you have to know that your model and training data is built for unbiased, scientific analysis with an understanding of the larger implications in events and such.

If it’s built poorly, then yes, it could spout racist nonsense. A lot of testing and fine tuning from unbiased scientists and engineers needs to happen before software like this goes live, to ensure rigour and quality.

Hello from Manchester! 👋😃🇬🇧

Ah, America. My condolences.

Infrastructure that was torn from public control and privatised, ruined, and now begging for more tax money to fund their bonuses, you say?

Delightfully devilish!

It’s at the top, I have that same bannister mount, it points upwards to the banister.

The mattress is wedged at the top of the stairs thanks to its extreme springiness.

Given that humans are mostly water, we would probably die…instantly? Within a few minutes?

Definitely very very quickly.

Patriotism can be cool, there are (I hope) many things about your nation, it’s achievements and communities that you might be proud of.

Nationalism however, not so much. They’re closely related (and bad people will try to sneak Nationalism under the radar as Patriotism) but are very different things.

Did they spell Bob Dylan wrong?

It’s relevant, yes, but not the center of every single topic or event they is happening or exists anywhere.

Go online however and you’d think it were.

The bigger problem is their assumption that their country is the “default” country. Discussing something highly specific to your nation, or posting a news article covering a topic that is only relevant within your nation? You need to provide the context of what country you’re talking about, otherwise people might be confused or waste their time reading something irrelevant to them. Over and over.

… unless it’s about the USA of course, then you don’t need to give any context at all because of course the only people they use the Internet are Americans, and obviously the only country worth talking about is the 🇺🇸 US of A! 🇺🇸

This is highly encouraged in places like Reddit, where communities like /r/news or /r/politics are actually local national subreddits just for the USA, but because they’re special little darlings they use the format that should be reserved for all news and political discussion, rather than a more appropriate and descriptive title like /r/usanews or /r/usapolitics, which would actually be… you know… descriptive and helpful.

That’s not even mentioning the number of times some random person has used code/abbreviation to describe where they are to lend context to a conversation, but failed to take into account that people outside of your country don’t know your local regional internal place names.

Oh, you’re from ML? OH? TA? Great, that provides precisely zero information because those aren’t country name abbreviations. Oh, you’re from London which is all the context you think I need? Okay, I know Lo…oh, London… Texas? 🤦‍♀️

So many wonderful people in the USA, so many fantastic people who don’t have any of the traits I’ve described, I just wish the ones strutting around acting like they’re the only country in the world and on the internet would open their eyes to how that sort of toxic personality trait looks to, and affects others :-(

Makes sense, we pay our licence fee for our public service, why should people abroad get for free what we have to pay for?

I was happy with the current arrangement of adverts supporting the service use abroad, but if it has to migrate to a subscription model to meet modern demands then that’s the way it is.

I wouldn’t go to another country and ask them to make one of their government’s national public services free for me to use, after all.

Good luck, 47.

Murdered. Not killed, murdered.

Both technically true, but the way they write killed suggests it wasn’t murder in cold blood, an act of war against another country to bully and control them.

Murder.

Syndicate Wars.

Haha aye, we call it Corporation Pop round my end.

We call it Corporation Pop here.

hehe

Isn’t undocumented another word for illegal immigrant? (It’s not really a term we have over here so apologies if I got that wrong)

I have nothing whatsoever against people based on their country of origin or skin colour etc, but if you’re (or a close loved one is) flagrantly breaking the law and hiding from the authorities by illegally residing in a country, surely you shouldn’t be surprised when you vote for the guy that promised to root these criminals out and deport them?

To me, the big news is people who are legally residing in the USA are being gulag’d, not that they’re catching illegal immigrants. But yes, this woman was a fool, sadly.

She may be intelligent and capable of learning better, but such is the power of propaganda and brainwashing that it can get us all. None of us are immune.

It’s a strong reminder that people can be tricked into working against their own interests, no matter how smart we are. The only thing that will give us a fighting chance are strong Critical Thinking skills. Even then, it’s so easy to be fooled and not realise it.

But why? Why make them scared they’ll lose their jobs at any moment Vs feeling secure?

If they’re scared, they’ll be seeking better employment, applying for other jobs whilst working this highly unstable one. Probably reduced productivity too, I wouldn’t be as productive under that sort of negative environment.

Make them feel valued and secure though and they won’t leave, there’ll be less workplace issues for you to have to deal with, and they’ll work harder.

Unless you see them as completely disposable because the law won’t touch you and there will always be desperate people to fill those positions at any given time, fear is a ridiculous thing to want to instill in your workforce.

You’re right and yet now it’s a beloved classic
