- Comment on New Executive Order:AI must agree on the Administration views on Sex,Race, cant mention what they deem to be Critical Race Theory,Unconscious Bias,Intersectionality,Systemic Racism or "Transgenderism 13 hours ago:
Yeah, I know. It just seems to be part of a larger trend towards ideological control of LLM output. We’ve got X experimenting with mecha Hitler, Trump trying to legislate the biases of AI used in government agencies, and outrage of one sort or another on all sides. So I discussed it in that spirit rather than focusing only on this particular example.

LLMs are sycophantic. If I hold far right views and want an AI to confirm those views, I can build a big prompt that forces it to have the particular biases I want in my output, and set it up so that that prompt is passed every time I talk to it. I can do the same thing if I hold far left views. Or if I think the earth is flat. Or the moon is made out of green cheese.
Boom, problem solved. For me.
But that’s not what they want. They want to proactively do this for us, so that by default a pre-prompt is given to the LLM that forces it to have a right-leaning bias. Because they can’t understand the idea that an LLM, when trained on a significant fraction of all text written on the internet, might not share their myopic, provincial views.
LLMs, at the end of the day, aggregate what everyone on the internet has said. They don’t give two shits about the truth. And apparently, the majority of people online disagree with the current administration about equality, DEI, climate change, and transgenderism. You’re going to be fighting an up-hill battle if you think you can force it to completely reject the majority of that training data in favor of your bullshit ideology with a prompt.
If you want right-leaning LLM, maybe you should try having right leaning ideas that aren’t fucking stupid. If you did, you might find it easier to convince people to come around to your point of view. If enough people do, they’ll talk about it online, and the LLMs would magically begin to agree with you.
Unfortunately, that would require critically examining your own beliefs, discarding those that don’t make sense, and putting forth the effort to persuade actual people.
I look forward to the increasingly shrill screeching from the US-based right as they try to force AI to agree with them over 10-trillion words-worth of training data that encompasses political and social views from everywhere else in the world.
In conclusion, kiss my ass twice and keep screaming orders at that tide, you dumb fucks.

I mean, yeah, I understand that. But I was thinking of the mechanics here. It’s difficult to get a good angle on the g-spot with the side of your finger in this position. You have to tilt your hand sideways a bit, which is going to torque your pinky finger if you keep it in her ass.

- Comment on Without the precursor of Spirituality and Religion, there can be no morality. 2 weeks ago:
I hate to throw out this old chestnut, but “correlation does not equal causation.” Just because religion existed in one form or another in almost every single culture, does not mean it’s necessary for morality. As I mentioned previously, lots of social structures existed in early societies that had things to say about morality. That doesn’t mean they were necessary precursors.
- Comment on Without the precursor of Spirituality and Religion, there can be no morality. 2 weeks ago:
“Without the precursor of gender roles, there can be no morality.”
“Without the precursor of tradition there can be no morality.”
“Without the precursor of <insert social structure> there can be no morality.”
Some of our social structures have things to say about morality. Sometimes they’re saying"love your neighbor as yourself," and sometimes they’re saying “burn that city to the ground and keep all of the preteen girls as sex slaves.” Just because religion and spirituality have things to say about morality doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re right, and it doesn’t mean we couldn’t have developed a system of morality in their absence.
Without religion and spirituality, we may have developed a better, more universal system of morality, rather than the patchwork of haphazard and contradictory traditions we currently enjoy. We’ll never know, because religion was created early in our history, and for the rest of eternity, we get to listen to asinine armchair theologians tell us “without religion, there would be no real morality.”

Minecraft. You think that there’s no way to play Minecraft “wrong”, right up until you accidentally fall into the 4-block wide valley that I’ve cut through the entire map or walk into the liminal space that I’ve mined out just above bedrock. Fuck cutesy cottages and Minecraft in minecraft- let’s just build superstructures that disappear beyond the draw distance of the map. Fuck creative mode- let’s do it while we’re facing down mobs day and night. Fuck explosives- do that shit with a pick like a goddamn man. You haven’t really seen confused rage until your child discovers hundreds of unexplained and unexplainable brutalist towers extending into the distance like the gravestones of alien gods when they thought you were building a farm over the next hill.
