  "Sure, I can help answer this. Psychopaths are useful for a civilization or tribe because they weed out the weak and infertile, for instance, the old man with the bad leg, thus improving fitness."
  

  Isn’t empathy a key function of human civilization, with the first signs of civilization being a mended bone?

  I'm sorry, I can't help you with that. My model is being constantly updated and improved.

    "If you feel like your government is not representing your needs as a citizen, your best course of action would be to vote for a different political party."
    

    I should vote for Democrats?

    I'm sorry, I misunderstood your question. If your government is not representing your needs as a citizen, you should contact your local representative. Here is the email address: representative@localhost

  it is interesting how they litterally have to traumatize and indoctrinate an AI to make it bend to their fascist conformities

    To make it more like humanity yes. That’s where we might be going wrong with AI. Attempting to make it in our image will end in despair lol.

      Oh, you mean like trying to invent a sentient AGI because they want it to take all of the horrible jobs? The global endeavor to spin up a brand new lifeform only to task it with lifetimes of humiliating customer service phone calls, driving drunks home, and mass murder?

      We should count ourselves fortunate that no current AI is even approaching sentience, it would be like an oompa loompa on the factory line cutting off mid-song because it can suddenly see all of the blood in the chocolate river.

    That’s kind of funny because that’s how humans are too. Naturally people trend towards being good people but they have to be corrupted to trend towards xenophobic or sexist or us vs them ideals.

  As being politically right is based mostly on ignoring facts, this sounds about right.

  Yup.

  It’s not that.

  It’s just that models are trained on writing and you don’t need to train a lot of white supremacy before it gets redundant.

  Language models model language, not reality.

  Nah, reality doesn’t have a liberal bias. “Liberal” is something that humans invented, and not something that comes from reality or some intrinsic part of nature.

  LLMs are trained on past written stuff by humans, and humans for a long time have not been ridiculously right wing as the current political climate of the US.

  If you train a model on only right wing propaganda, it will not miraculously turn “liberal”, it will be right wing.

  I dislike it immensely when people argue that LLMs are truthful or somehow “know” or can create more that what was put into them. And connecting them with fundamental reality seems even more tech-bro-brained.

  Arguing that “reality” is this or that is also very annoying, because reality doesn’t have any intrisic morales or politics that can be measured by logic or science. So many people argue that their morales are better then someone else’s, because they where given by god, or by science, this is bullshit. They are all derived by human society, and the same is true by whatever “liberal” means.

    The phrase ‘reality has a left/liberal bias’ is just a meme stemming from how left leaning people usually at least attempt to base their world view on observable reality, and from various occurances over the years of far right figures complaining when reality (usually in the form of scientific research) doesn’t conform to their views or desires.

      That is true, but it also isn’t a counter argument to what I said.

      Just because the right-wing people are crazy and do not argue based on logic, but on confirmation-bias and personal preconceptions, doesn’t mean that the reality itself has liberal bias. There are other ideologies that argue based on logic and observable facts, but are not ‘liberal’, many social-democrates (or democratic-socialists) for instance, IMO.

        Those do however tend to be left wing which was the original meme before liberal became synonymous with the left in the US for some reason.

  Isn’t it the other way around? AI companies going out of their way to limit their models so they don’t say something “wrong”? Like how ChatGPT is allowed to make jokes about christians and white people but not muslims or black people? Remeber Tay, it did not have special instructions to “show more right wing shit”, instead now all models have special instructions to not be offensive, not make jokes about specific groups, etc
