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.
Le Chat by Mistral is a France-based (and EU abiding) alternative to ChatGPT. Works fine for me so far.
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.
Well the rest of the world can take the lead in scientific r&d now that the US has not only declared itself failed culturally but politically and are attacking scientific institutions and funding directly (NIH, universities, etc).
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.
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.
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.

Literally 1984.
This is a textbook example of newspeak / doublethink, exactly how they use the word “corruption” to mean different things based on who it’s being applied to.
It’s like 1984 at hyper speed
Doublethink, but yeah you’re right
Newspeak and doublethink at the same time, ackshually, but I think everybody gets what you both mean.
Corrected !
I only read 1984 once in French 11 years ago, so it’s a little fuzzy 😆
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
So, models may only be trained on sufficiently bigoted data sets?
This is why Musk wants to buy OpenAI. He wants biased answers, skewed towards capitalism and authoritarianism, presented as being “scientifically unbiased”. I had a long convo with ChatGPT about rules to limit CEO pay. If Musk had his way I’m sure the model would insist, “This is a very atypical and harmful line of thinking. Limiting CEO pay limits their potential and by extension the earnings of the company. No earnings means no employees.”
Same reason they hate wikipedia.
Didn’t the AI that Musk currently owns say there was like an 86% chance Trump was a Russian asset? You’d think the guy would be smart enough to try to train the one he has access to and see if it’s possible before investing another $200 billion in something. But then again, who would even finance that for him now? He’d have to find a really dumb bank or a foreign entity that would fund it to help destroy the U.S.
How did your last venture go? Well the thing I bought is worth about 20% of what I bought it for… Oh uh… Yeah not sure we want to invest in that.
Assuming he didn’t expressly buy twitter to dismantle it as a credible outlet for whistleblowers while also crowding out leftist voices.
He was force to buy twitter…
And the Saudis were forced to give him money for it, right?
Is that why the Saudis bought in? Or was that just so they could help expand their sports tournaments on Trump’s properties?
Probably a bit of both. The Sauds want post oil influince and oligarchs like seeing the poors focused on entertainment.
it’s that he likes chatgpt better than grok. he’ll still tweak chatgpt once he has access to it to make it worse, but at the core of what he wants is to own chatgpt and rename it grok
Yes, as is already happening with police crime prediction AI. In goes data that says there is more violence in black areas, so they have a reason to police those areas more, tension rises and more violence happens. In the end it’s an advanced excuse to harass the people there.
Lmfao yeah, right bud. Totally how that works. More police = more crime, because… ‘tensions’.
This sanctimonius bullshit excuse making is why a 100% objective AI model would destroy leftism: it’s not rooted in reality.
I don’t think it’s more crime because more tension. It’s instead a self fulfilling prophecy. Who do you think detects and records crime if not the police? Therefore more police in a area increases the number of crime data points in that area.
The American police were invented to capture black folks and to guard the elite’s interests, not to safeguard the things that make civilization worth having.
reality has a left bias, becausr it the vetter option - the bias comes from the fact many people are not ass wholes.
No, ai just needs to be shut down.
Trump too.
Why? Why should it be shut down?
Why didn’t we shut down Gutenberg or Turing?
Ai isn’t just the crap you type into chatgpt or Gemini going crazy with Google searches.
You know nothing about AI what it does and what it is.
Unless AI can find me a way to travel back in time to 2012 I really dont care about AI development AT ALL
Sending a Terminator to take down conservative characters throughout history would do the world good. The guys who shot Lincoln and President Garfield? Gone. Hitler? MyPillowed in the crib. The police who assassinated the Black Panther leadership? Reduced to ham cutlets before they can go to work.
Alas, we don’t have a benevolent SkyNet to save us from cruddy outcomes. We will have to do it ourselves, in the now and future.
Congratulations. Your comment is less than worthless.
And your comment is quite rude.
He never said the commenter was worthless.
Yeah, but the problem is calling people’s opinions worthless. Them’s fightin’ words. There are so many other ways one can phrase it without being blunt.
All he said was that he doesn’t care and some other nonsensical stuff. This comment doesn’t add anything. Not even an expression of an opinion.
But to be fair: the response doesn’t add much either.
Yes I do, and it’s totally different than Gutenberg or Turing. But as soon as AI is programmed with “ideological bias” it becomes an agenda, a tool to manipulate people. Besides, it’s training people to think less, and put in less effort. It will have long term negative effects on society.
This has been said about every significant invention ever.
Well, do you see where society is at now?
It seems like it has been subject to many long term negative effects over the past decade or so.
AI is a totally different ballgame, and I’m sure you know this.
This is how they tried to suppress the calculator in schools.
A search engine also impedes your thinking.
Some search engines more than others!
No you don’t otherwise you wouldn’t be saying any of this.
You are kind of getting upset, so I assume you work in the AI field in some way? I think the development of AI is interesting, intriguing, and opens many doors to many possibilities. But I still think it’s a bad idea. It’s not that I don’t trust AI, it’s that I don’t trust humans, and they are the ones implementing AI.
Quote from Jurassic Park, that I think applies to AI well: “We were so preoccupied with whether we could, we didn’t stop to think if we should.”
Don’t make assumptions.
I’m actually an appliance repairman.
Making dinosaurs from mosquitoes is not the same as implementing new technology.
You can say the same thing about the first ape that picked up the first rock and beat his enemy to death with it. Should he have picked up that rock?
Let’s not forget all those inventions made during war time for the purposes of killing that trickled down to various things we use everyday. Such as GPS, microwave ovens and duct tape.
Nobody asked us if we should we just did it.
Your statement about AI is closed minded and ignorant. You failed to see all the advancements that it’s made currently in computing, medicine, research, software development.
Humans have an inherent need to survive and cooperate it is built into our DNA. There is a reason why we haven’t killed each other with nukes yet.
Artificial intelligence will be the next step in human evolution it is absolutely inevitable.

“Sir, that’s impossible.”
“JUST DO IT!”
It’s almost like reality has a liberal bias. 🙃
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.
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.
It’s going to go full circle and start spitting out pictures of a Black George Washington again…
When I saw the show Hamilton, George Washington was black, not sure if that’s always the case. It was a really good show.
