    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.

      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.

    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.

    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).

      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.”

        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.

      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.

          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.

        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.

            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.”

              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.

        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.
