I remember when I was a kid and met a guy that didn’t think he was racist because he literally didn’t meet a single non white person until he was an adult. Yet somehow he already had all kinds of opinions about them.

It’s a real challenge. The datasets all have genuine bias built in and identifying and correcting it is incredibly difficult. I mean, there WERE people of color in historic Europe, lots of them. So you can’t correct this by just making them all white because that isn’t necessarily more accurate. But yeah, we know that King George wasn’t black.

That’s always the issue with super heroes. All these people with these crazy abilities and powers and the only thing we can think to do with them is beating up petty criminals.

Like that’s really what the world needs: tougher cops with no oversight.

For sure. It’s currently possible to push discourse with hundreds of accounts pushing a coordinated narrative but it’s expensive and requires a lot of real people to be effective. With a suitably advanced AI one person could do it at the push of a button.

You CAN prompt an ethnicity in the first place. What this is trying to do is avoid creating a “default” value for things like “woman” because that’s genuinely problematic.

It’s trying to avoid biases that exist within it’s data set.

Hilarious to think that an AI is going to be trained by a bunch of primitive Reddit karma bots.

This is what capitalism does. A constant battle of finding the lowest quality to price ratio. Everything will naturally gravitate to the shitiest cheapest version of itself.

I mean, all you need to steal a trailer today is a pair of bolt cutters, so it’s not really less secure than that.
